Joelle Burnette Reading

6 p.m.


Joelle Burnette talks about her new book, "Cancer Time Bomb: How the BRCA Gene Stole My Tits and Eggs." Joelle tells what it was like to have prophylactic surgeries after testing positive for the BRCA genetic mutation. She chronicled her 3-year odyssey as she justified slicing away healthy parts of her body (ovaries and breasts) that had high odds of producing cancer. All the while, her sister was facing her second breast cancer while her father's health deteriorated. Caring for everyone was Joelle's mother who played the strongest supportive role.
