This documentary is about a 45 year old woman named Sheila who has the BRCA2 gene mutation, which increases her risk of developing breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and skin cancer. The story is her personal journey as she makes the difficult decision to finally choose surgery over screenings. As a health care worker herself, she explains the decision process and takes the audience on a detailed account of not just what the surgeries entail physically but also emotionally and psychologically. She offers a unique perspective with her intimate IPhone diaries and medical knowledge about what is at stake.
