Episode 02: Emily Epstein - BRCA gene mutation
Emily discovered that she has the BRCA gene mutation by chance. It has led her to have multiple surgeries to reduce her risks of having breast and ovarian cancer. Through her journey, Emiliy has realized that the healthcare system does not provide the support patients need. She now advocates for more support for patients within the healthcare industry.
I apologize for mispronouncing BRCA. By listening to Emily, I now know how to pronounce it!
The song Emily chose is Two for the road by Henry Mancini.
