The lives of Tucean Franks, Tucean Webb and Suzanne Webb have all been touched by breast cancer

In 1994, Tucean Webb's daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer. Webb, a Dallas homemaker and civic volunteer, says the news was such a shock. Her daughter was just 31, and the family had no history of the disease. Four years later- after her daughter's recovery- Webb faced her own diagnosis of breast cancer.

We were grateful for genetic testing to help determine the risk for our other daughter, Suzanne. Read their story.
