Emma, her grandmother, and her mother all have had cancer. Inheriting the BRCA 1 gene from her mother increased her chances of having cancer. She has turned to DNA sequencing machines. The mission of the DNA sequencing machines is to sequence human genomes that have developed cancer. There are about 25,000 different cancer cells that scientists will be able to look at today as a result of the increased rate of pace. Scientists are looking for the difference between the cancer cells and the normal cells because those differences are the mutations and those mutations are in those cancer genes which are driving the cancer.For her son's time period that he is growing up in, it will be a lot easier for cancer to be detected and stopped sooner than Emma's time. Targeted therapy will be a better direction to guide people in. The Breakthrough Breast Cancer Research Center is developing a very interesting drug that won't create the horrible side effects most people go through after chemotherapy, such as losing their hair, throwing up a lot, and so many more. For Emma the future is less fearful and she is happier. Emma still wants to see how scientists are changing how cancer patients are being treated.
