Pretty Is What Changes: Jessica Queller

Emotional book about finding out you have the cancer gene and what to do with that information. The narrator watched her mother battle two types of cancer and decided to get tested after losing her to a long battle. She tested positive. The book was mostly about what to do with that information and which action to take. Monitor for cancer and always live in fear, or get a mastectomy and wonder if you needed it. She courageously chose the mastectomy. The test result post surgery showed she did have some cancer in one of the breasts, making her realize she chose correctly. This book made me cry often and really forced me to think, the writer was about my age when she found out she tested positive for the gene. A must read.
