At the age of 29, Lesley Murphy was making a living by traveling around the world and sharing her experiences on her blog called ‘The Road Les Traveled’. However, her travels were put to a halt when the travel blogger and Bachelor Alum tested positive for a gene that linked her with a high risk of developing cancer.
Three years prior, Murphy’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent treatment (today, she is cancer free). So, Murphy and her two sisters decided to get tested for genetic variations that could reflect a higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Her older sister tested positive, her younger sister tested negative, and Murphy tested positive for the BRCA2 gene.
