A practical yet personal guide to the medical and emotional facets of breast cancer, from a woman who's made her living researching the disease - and lived through it herself

A leading oncologist at the University of California-San Francisco, Dr. Pamela Munster has advised thousands of women on how to deal with the life-altering diagnosis of breast cancer. 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.

This was a good one, definitely likes the narration. Emotions came through but not so much as to be distressing on a sensitive topic. Showcases a unique perspective

Very nice

I loved this book. Although much useful information is provided, the empathy, emotions, and hope shared are even more remarkable. As a physician myself, I only wish more of my colleagues had the compassion and insight of Dr. Munster.

Enlightening and inspirational

I needed validation for what I went through with my breast cancer experiences. I also wanted more knowledge about breast cancer. This book was perfect.

Not a sob story

I, unfortunately, sought out this book in the days after finding out my best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. Realizing I didn’t really know anything meaningful about breast cancer or treatment I hoped to find anything that could inform and encourage me. This book provided a little of both. This gave me a very good framework of the terms that would be used and what to generally expect even though the writer’s cancer was a very different stage than my friend’s. The benefit to this book over reading web links for information is that it was tied together with a human experience and story. If you have unfortunate position to be seeking information, I feel that this is a good, approachable, hopeful place to start.
