test that she was positive for a BRCA2 gene mutation, which is linked to a
significantly higher possibility of developing breast or ovarian cancer, "Today"
show contributor Jill Martin learned in June 2023 that -- despite having a clear
mammogram in January 2023 -- she had already developed breast cancer. In July
2023, she announced plans to undergo a mastectomy and other treatment. In the
fall of 2023, she will also have a preventative hysterectomy "as my chances of
getting ovarian cancer are now 20% higher, according to my doctors. That is not
a percentage I am willing to live with," she wrote in an essay for "Today,"
noting that her grandmother died from breast cancer and her mother "had a double
mastectomy in her late 40s after being diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ,
often referred to as stage 0 breast cancer." Jill's father was also tested and
learned he, like her, is BRCA2 positive, so he will now "get screened and stay
vigilant about breast, prostate and pancreatic cancer, which he now knows he's
at a higher risk for," she added.MORE: Stars we've lost to the coronavirus

I WENT TO TURKEY TO FIX MY TEETH - IT WAS THE WORST DECISION

A mother from Hertfordshire, Sarah Watson (pictured above), regrets her decision
to get new teeth in Turkey, claiming it left her with deteriorating gums. After
cancer treatment damaged her teeth, Sarah couldn't afford the $27,000 from a
London dentist and opted for $3,500 veneers in Marmaris. Initially pleased, she
later experienced problems with her teeth moving and food getting stuck. A UK
dentist discovered that the Turkish clinic had filled gaps in her gums with
cement, causing decay. Sarah warns others against seeking dental procedures
abroad. Her cancer treatment had already weakened her teeth, and she sought
veneers to improve her smile.
