Talk to the Headscarf: A Memoir Book

Imagine you're thirty-two married with two little children and you find out you're carrying a deadly cancer gene. That was me in 2005 when I discovered I had the BRAC1 gene which meant I had an 85% chance of developing breast cancer and a 50% chance of developing ovarian cancer. I had two options ? wait for the big bad cancer wolf or have radical preventative surgery.

TALK TO THE HEADSCARF is my story of how I lived laughed and overcame some of the toughest times in my life. If you know someone affected by cancer or if you are a fellow 'cancer club member' I know you are scared. I was too. But you are not alone. I am still here. I am living proof that against the odds life can and does carry on. The score so far is ? Cancer O: Emma 6. And if my cancer returns I will keep on crusading.Read More
