Martin went on to say that because of her family history, her doctors at Schaffer, Schonholz & Drossman in New York, as well as her general practitioner, Dr. Allison Spatz, had advised her to get genetic testing.
She wrote, “I am telling this story now because I couldn’t go through months of operations, and start to recover both physically and mentally, without shouting from the rooftops telling everyone to check with their doctors to see if genetic testing is appropriate. “It all happened so fast. It is hard to believe just one month ago I was in Paris celebrating my mother’s 75th birthday. But I have had some time to process, so now I’m in get-it-done robotic mode.

Instead, I want to do everything I can to beat this and protect my family,” admitting: “I am devastated and empowered, all at the same time.
