But when she got a call saying that her own mammogram showed "irregularities," she found herself experiencing a whole new side of the disease she thought she was an expert in.Weaving together her personal story with her team's groundbreaking research on the BRCA gene-responsible for not only breast cancer but also for many other inherited cancers affecting both women and men-Twisting Fate is an inspiring guide to living with BRCA mutations. With authority, insight, and compassion, Dr. Munster uses her voice to create a safe space for genuine healing and honesty in a world otherwise dominated by fear
