Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I nekehia atu e Emma Hannigan ōna uma me ōna whāriki i te tau 2006 hei whakaiti i tōna mōrea ki te mate pukupuku i muri i te kitenga i te ira BrCa1 hapa. E iwa ngā wā i whawhai ai tētahi whaea tokorua ki te mate pukupuku i roto i ngā tau e whitu kua hipa, ahakoa i tangohia ōna uma me ōna whekau kia ārai i te mate. I korerotia ki a Emma Hannigan i te tau 2005 kei a ia te ira BRCA1 hapa, e whakanui ana i te tupono o te wahine ki te whiwhi mate pukupuku uma ki te 85 ōrau, me te mate pukupuku ovary ki te 50 ōrau. I whiriwhiria e ia kia takirua te kopu me te oophorectomy i te tau e whai ake nei, hei whakaiti i tana morearea. Heoi, ahakoa te pokanga nui, ka kitea e te wahine 42-tau te mate i wehi ai ia - he mate pukupuku tāna. Mai i taua wā, e iwa ngā wā i whawhai ai a Mrs Hannigan ki te mate, tae atu ki ngā wā e whā i roto i te tau kotahi. I tēnei wā kei te whakawhiwhia ia ki te chemotherapy ia toru wiki i te mea e ngana ana nga tohunga ki te pupuri i te mate.

E ai ki ngā tatauranga a te Campaign Breast Cancer, ka whakaitihia te mate mate pukupuku ki te 90 ōrau i te hunga e mau ana i te ira BRCA. Ka whakaitihia te tūponotanga o te wāhine ki te iti iho i te toharite o ngā wāhine kāore i te kawe i te ira hurihuri. 'Kāore au i titiro atu ki a ia me te mea kei te ngaro ōku whekau, i ōku uma rānei,' i mea a Mrs Hannigan. I titiro ahau ki a ia me te mea e whiwhi ana ahau i toku ora. Ehara i te mea uaua te whakatau. He mea noa iho - i hiahia ahau ki te ora.' Engari i te 33 o ona tau, i tino pouri a Mrs Hannigan i te mea i korerotia ki a ia, kotahi tau noa iho i muri i tana pokanga, he mate pukupuku tana. 'I whakamātauria ahau nā te mea he hītori o te mate pukupuku uma me te mate pukupuku ovary i roto i tōku whānau,' i mea ia. 'I mate taku kuia a Helen i te mate pukupuku uma i te 42 o ona tau. Ko aku tipuna, ko Ruth rāua ko Cathy, i ora i te mate pukupuku uma i a rāua e toru tekau, e whā tekau. I mate taku tupuna, a Anneliese, i te mate pukupuku o te ovarian.
