Sex, Money & Food

If you tested positive for a genetic mutation that could ovarian, breast or cervical cancer what would you do? Would you go so far as to remove your reproductive organs or would you wait to see if the cancer ever developed?   Our guest for today, Lisa Jey Davis, was diagnosed with BRCA2, a genetic mutation for breast and ovarian cancer. After watching her sister battle ovarian cancer for 7 years Lisa opted to have her breasts, ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to avoid the same fate.   On this episode of the Real World Woman: Sex, Money, and Food Podcast, Lisa and I talk about her decision to do so, and what the aftermath of it was and how that became the basis for her latest book, Getting Over Your Ovaries: How to Make The Change of Life Your Bitch! It’s all here on today’s show.
