“Knowledge of oneself is paramount to long term health. Theodora Ross candidly and expertly shows us, through personal and inspiring stories, what that means when the knowledge demonstrates a genetic predisposition to cancer. An important and eye-opening book.”

“Dr. Ross’ wonderful book has changed the way I practice.  It should be mandatory reading for every medical student and primary care provider.”

“What would you do if the tables were turned and you became the patient instead of the doctor?  This is exactly what happened to breast oncologist and researcher, Dr. Theo Ross . . . A must read for anyone with cancer in their family.”

“Ross guides us through this landscape with astonishing personal honesty, clear thinking, openness, and persistence.  She explains – with an empathy that can only arise from inhabiting the worlds of doctor and patient simultaneously – how all of us (professionals and laypeople alike) with or without a family history of cancer, need help understanding genetics.”
