I watched the show last week and found it to be very informative. What a heart wrenching decision to make and yet how wonderful it is to be able to give yourself the oportunity to make such a decision and reduce your chances of cancer. I feel for the filmmaker. I was a bit ticked off at the gentleman who had patented the test. It seems to me when we are all working toward a common cause that money should be the least of everyone's worries. I also was very upset when they had mentioned that the one woman worked for a breast cancer organization and was let go after her 3rd diagnosis. I wish I knew who they were I would like to give them a piece of my mind. If our own organizations and charities won't back us up then how do they expect the private sector to follow suit?
