1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

To delve into this is to better understand the BRCA gene (aka BReast CAncer gene) which is gene that produces proteins to help repair damaged DNA.

But the BRCA gene can mutate, and if a mutation occurs, not only does it continue down the bloodlines of families, but your chances increase by 45% to 85% for developing breast cancer in your lifetime, along with a 10% to 46% chance of ovarian cancer.

This is where the power of Two sisters steps in. Lisa Bardas and Ellie Rogers are two sisters that were faced with discovering their larger family were all carriers of the mutated BRCA gene, when Ellie  was diagnosed with breast cancer.

They made the incredibly bold and brave decision to undergo a double mastectomy and uterus removal, in a bid to live.

They then took it further by founding Two Sisters Foundation, in a bid to make genetic testing for the BRCA gene available as an open preventative test, to allow for time and in-turn choice for prevention measures, not only for their own children, but for everyone, and make the concept of testing for only the considered ‘high risk’, or testing when diagnosed with cancer, obsolete.

These two women, are an example of strength and the power of what can be overcome and faced, as Two Sisters.
