In reply to the discussion: Yes, That Is a Nipple on the Front Page of the New York Times. [View all]polly7
(20,582 posts)7. Some of those doctors shouldn't be treating women, or most likely anyone else.
When Ms. Horesh tested positive for a BRCA1 mutation, she said her husband supported her decision to surgically remove her ovaries and breasts. They had three young children to raise.
Finding a doctor to do it was another matter.
The first doctor I went to said I was insane, and he said, If you have brain cancer, are you going to chop off your head? said Ms. Horesh. The second doctor said that he noticed I had a small chest, and he thought I just wanted an excuse to have my breasts enlarged.
A third doctor told her what many women hear, Come back when you have cancer, and Nobody dies of breast cancer nowadays.

I can completely relate to this story. I am not Israeli, but I have tested positive for BRCA1.
