How one woman broke the curse of cancer

What would you do if doctors discovered you had a potential
80% chance of getting breast cancer?

Sharon Tregoning decided to do something. She’d already lost her sister Bess to breast cancer, had developed three benign lumps herself, and was undergoing the nerve-wracking routine of annual mammograms and ultrasounds.

The catalyst for action arose with the startling revelation about her family’s genetic history - five women in the last four generations of her family had succumbed to breast cancer, and three before the age of 45.

With full knowledge of her predisposition, Sharon decided to take control of her destiny.

She committed to a radical fight-back plan - a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction using her own tummy tissue.

Her husband Reid described the move as a “pre-emptive strike”.

This is her candid story - complete with graphic photographs - of that agonising decision, and her year-long road to recovery, in rebuilding her body, and reclaiming hope for a cancer-free future.

What readers are saying ...

“... you are truly amazing to have confronted your decisions the way you have and
documented it all in such a light, yet deeply informative read ...

... Don't tell me you aren't brave, and then after all this to go on to write this book
to help others (and it will) is sheer compassion and courage ...

... I thought I’d just read a little of your book to go to sleep. I could not put it down ...

... What came through to me was your want and need to help all the women you can ...

... Your book was not a story about Breast (Cancer) Prevention to me, it was purely motivational, THANKYOU ...”

“When I was making my decision and researching options, I found that there
was very little information available for women in my situation -that being high
risk of developing breast cancer.

Once I made my decision to have the surgery, I decided that I would write the
book, and also include very graphic photos, so that women are able to make an
informed decision about what, if any action, to take.”
