Dr. Rice, who lost her own mother to b****t cancer, will also share her own personal experiences of caring for a loved one battling this deadly disease. "I lost my mother... in 1985 to b****t cancer and at that point I did feel like Id lost part of my anchor. I would urge women--particularly if you have a risk factor like I do--to make sure that youre getting the proper screening, and to work out a screening regimen with your doctor, says Dr. Rice. Dr. Rice memoir about her tenure as a top advisor in the administration of President George W. Bush is scheduled for release in 2011. As part of a three-book deal, Dr. Rice will also write a memoir about her family life, along with a young adult versionoth scheduled for release in 2012.
