Jeanie, Jen, and Diana discuss being diagnosed with BRCA 1/2, a genetic mutation that heightens one's risk of getting breast and cervical cancers. The zine is an attempt to redefine and reclaim their own narratives in the face of what seems like a genetic destiny. The women discuss family members dying of cancer, ovarian surgery, menopause, and mastectomies, and define themselves as "previvors"--survivors of a high predisposition to cancer who haven't actually had the disease. The zine ends with a list of recommended resources. Editor Jen Silverman has also contributed to parenting zines.
