Penn Health for Women Newsletter reports on Sandy Cohen’s experience living with a BRCA mutation and the Basser Research Center for BRCA.

Like too many women, Sandy Cohen grew up with breast cancer in her family. “My grandmother died of breast cancer in her thirties. Consequently, my mother was always worried she’d  develop the disease herself,” says the Lafayette Hill resident. When Sandy’s mother did develop breast cancer at 50 and passed away four years later, Sandy became what she calls “obsessed” with breast cancer too.
