Voices: I’m BRCA positive – we need to stop calling it the ‘Angelina Jolie gene’
17.03.2022 - 20:51 / msn.com
BRCA gene mutation, gauged their reaction, and if they’ve looked lost, I’ve added: “you know, like Angelina Jolie”. People tend to remember that one of the world’s most famous and beautiful film stars has had her breasts removed. So it can be quite handy to have her there, as a touchstone.
And yet, it does grate on me when there’s a news story about BRCA and it’s called “the Angelina Jolie gene”, because it just contributes to people not knowing the real name for it. It’s lazy, and it’s inaccurate, too. BRCA1 and BRCA2 aren’t genes you have or don’t have.
Everyone has the gene. They are gene mutations. I don’t remember the last time I saw something in print about BRCA that wasn’t accompanied by a photo of Angelina Jolie.
Just once, I’d like to see an ordinary woman with breast cancer instead. A woman hooked up to a chemo drip, or with no hair. Because there’s nothing glamorous about being BRCA positive.
It involves massive decisions and even bigger operations. Women with one of the BRCA gene mutations have a significantly elevated risk of breast and ovarian cancer, and can choose to have preventative surgery to reduce those risks. These women fall into two camps: those who find out before a cancer diagnosis, and those, like me, who find out after.
If you have breast or ovarian cancer young, or if there’s a lot of it in your family – or both – you may be offered genetic testing. And if you’re positive, and choose to have the preventative surgery, it just gets rolled into the treatment you’re having for cancer – the surgery, the chemotherapy, the radiotherapy.
