Should I: Get a Preventative Mastectomy?
Manage episode 489078890 series 2886754
Elyse's mom died of breast cancer a few years ago. Recently, she's tested positive for the same cancer-causing gene that her mom had. That puts her at high risk of getting breast cancer too. There are two paths forward: she can rigorously test and monitor her health, or she can get a preventative mastectomy.
This week, Mauricio and Elyse explore our relationships to our bodies and our own mortality.
