Women with a very high risk of breast cancer due to genetic mutations, such as BRCA, may consider risk-reducing bilateral mastectomies to lower their risk of breast cancer. While these prophylactic mastectomies do not completely protect a woman from breast cancer, they lower the risk in women at high risk by at least 90%. When today’s guest learned that she was a carrier of the BRCA1 mutation at only age 31, she began preparing for her surgery and found both an escape and a sense of confidence through romance novels where women were embracing self-confidence, self-love and their bodies. Reading romance novels carried her through her recovery and this year, she published her own romance novel, Four Weekends and a Funeral, with a lead character who has also just undergone a double mastectomy. Ellie Palmer is here today to share her story and how a genre of books helped not only bring her joy, but also gave her a language to help discuss her body and what she feared losing.
