Sister love (and extended family too)

This is a great piece that was on Good Morning America on Monday, featuring 5 sisters, 4 of whom have the BRCA 2 genetic mutation, and have breast cancer.

I love what they say about family support.  And they offer excellent tips about vigilance and screening.

I also found it interesting when the one sister who is not a mutant talks about her guilt.  It's like survivor guilt, and it makes sense, and shouldn't be brushed aside.
