BOOK REVIEW

The Bright HourThe Bright Hour by Nina Riggs
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Rather quick read. Liked it but did not love it.
Well written. Only 1 page and 1/2 discusses family history and BRCA. As an advocate of course I was wanting more facts and educational information included about breast cancer, family history, and cancer risk.
Enjoyed Nina's relationship with Ginny. Very funny stuff...those were my favorite parts.

BOOK REVIEW

A Cancer in the Family: Take Control of Your Genetic InheritanceA Cancer in the Family: Take Control of Your Genetic Inheritance by Theodora Ross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a BRCA/Hereditary Cancer Advocate I was excited to read Dr. Ross' book. While I thoroughly enjoyed it, part handbook, part memoir, it's definitely worth the purchase just for the index! Pages 201-266 list inherited cancer syndromes by name and associated gene. Lifetime cancer risks associated with each syndrome are also spelled out in addition to current risk management guidelines for both women and men.

Those interested in health and science would enjoy this book.
Medical students and ALL DOCTORS in ALL SPECIALTIES would benefit from reading this book.
