The Inheritance: A Conversation with Regina and Gabrielle Brett

At the age of 23, Gabrielle Brett learned she had a gene that would likely cause her to get breast cancer. Five years later, she didn't have cancer, but she didn't have her breasts, either. She decided for a preventive double mastectomy. Her mother Plain Dealer Columnist Regina Brett writes about it in the Plain Dealer this week. The Brett women and two medical professionals will join us on the Sound of Ideas. You can get your question in early with an email to news@wcpn.org. Join us Wednesday morning at nine on 90.3.Gabrielle Brett, Program Coordinator, National Cancer Institute, Cancer Information Service
