A 24-year-old woman has gained a legion of fans online after documenting her journey leading up to a double mastectomy and her road to recovery. Paige More, who tested positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation and has a family history of ovarian and breast cancer on her father’s side, said she wants people to view her as a “previvor,” PEOPLE reported. Once she tested positive for the genetic mutation, doctors presented her with the option for a double mastectomy or a lifetime of surveillance, the news outlet reported. “It was this huge daunting feeling, because I was making this huge life decision and either choice was really going to change my life,” More, a Good Morning America booker, told PEOPLE. I wanted to just tackle this thing for my life and my future.”More underwent a double mastectomy in January, and said she was moved to share her story with others partly to help her 13-year-old sister cope.
