Sam your daughter is a credit to you and should be very proud of herself. She is dealing with the hand dealt to her with courage way beyond her years. I wonder who she gets her strength from :wink:

I know I'm going off topic, but jollyjac and Michelle, what you said about your daughters is SO reassuring. I'm still going through treatment, and I honestly thought my 15 year old girl was the world's most insensitive daughter ("Jeez Mum, the whole world does NOT revolve around your breast cancer!")

Sometimes I just forget that ALL 14, 15 and 16 year old girls are so self centred. Such a lovely age.

Well done Sunday night for sharing this special story with us in a positive manner.

I think Emma is such a gorgeous mature girl who is so positive in her approach to dealing with BRAC1.

Sam, as a mum my heart breaks for you, it must be so hard seeing your "little girl" face such tough unfair decisions, you must be so proud of Emma.


PS Michelle, my 16 yr old daughter went up stairs to her room as soon as the story started as well, BC is still very confronting for her, I'm not even allowed to talk about it in front of her.

My house hold all sat down and watched Sunday and found it very emotional, funny and inspirational. The kids loved the "Boobie Cake" and asked why didn't I have a boobie cake before or after my surgery hahahahah Sam your daughter is very inspirational and a great roll model for others, you must be proud of her!

Sam your daughter is a wonderful inspiration. I cried all the way through the program. I asked my 16yr to watch it with me as she refuses to accept that I have BC. She would not watch the program and instead went up and sat in her bedroom. I hope one day she will think about it a bit more as she matures. Thankyou so much for your story x

Sunday Night Channel 7

Postby Samantha37 » Sat Oct 22, 2011 4:29 pm

This Sunday night on channel 7's Sunday Night program they are running a story on young girls with BRCA1 gene mutation and the choices they have ahead of them.

Myself and my eldest daughter Emma are featured. I hope lots of young girls watch it and realize it ISNT a death sentence but a great tool to be able to take your future in your hands and do something pro-active!

Sam :) xxx
