With numerous relatives having died from cancer, 41-year-old pre-K teacher Fishbaugh (Seeking Balance in an Unbalanced World) was proactive in her own health care. Then an abnormality on a routine pap smear in 2009 led to further tests, and her world got knocked on its head. Though the results showed no signs of cancer, a nurse suggested that she go for genetic testing, and Fishbaugh tested positive for the BRCA1 gene, which could lead to a higher risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer. The author opted for a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy, with reconstruction, and a complete hysterectomy. Unfortunately, Fishbaugh's chronicle strikes one as mannered. She is whiny, complaining about hospital food and claiming not to have been informed that a hysterectomy would throw her immediately into menopause. An addictive nature manifests itself in the form of abuse of multiple medications. She also spends a great deal of time reliving her parents' deaths. VERDICT Though she displays a more positive attitude about her "new" life, Fishbaugh wouldn't be this reviewer's first choice as a role model for women facing similar dilemmas. Readers will be better served by Gayle Feldman's You Don't Have To Be Your Mother.--Bette-Lee Fox, Library Journal
