"Cancer Time Bomb" Author Event at Copperfield's
Sonoma County author Joelle Burnette will be signing her new book, “Cancer Time Bomb,” from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Petaluma Copperfield's Books.
Joelle tells what it was like to have prophylactic surgeries after testing positive for the BRCA genetic mutation. She chronicled her 3-year odyssey as she justified slicing away healthy parts of her body (ovaries and breasts) that had high odds of producing cancer. All the while, her sister was facing her second breast cancer while her father’s health deteriorated. Caring for everyone was Joelle’s mother who played the strongest supportive role. And nobody dies in the end!
