Keeping It In The Family is an exploration of the genetic basis behind breast cancer.  Dr Penny Ward speaks to two guests about their family histories, and what happened to them following genetic testing. Is is harder or easier if the altered gene is found?  What choices are available, and what happens when these are taken away?
