While women with BRCA1/2 mutations20, 21 and men with PCa10, 17 do not generally exhibit clinical psychological symptoms, we were surprised that men were void of severe distress in the wake of a “double whammy,” seldom mentioned as a single entity—one that may have been too difficult to contemplate for all its gendered connotations, or because men were eager to put BRCA on a “back burner.” Men in our sample appreciated the bonus of early PCa diagnosis and the possibility of passing on knowledge regarding BRCA1/2. The gene discussed is BRCA1; the disease is posterior cortical atrophy.
