Session Overview:
No two journeys through hereditary cancer risk management are the same. In this intimate and inspiring session, you’ll hear personal accounts from BRCA carriers who made very different choices about prevention and screening.
Our speakers will share what influenced their decisions, from medical advice and personal values to family needs and timing, as well as the challenges they faced along the way. You’ll gain insight into how they live with those decisions today, how they’ve adapted over time, and what they’ve learned about making choices that feel right for them.
This is the third and final session in our From Fear to Clarity decision-making series, designed to guide and support carriers through the emotional, social, and practical realities of making high-stakes health decisions.
Key Topics:
Different Paths: Contrasting approaches to surgery, screening, and lifestyle.
Factors in Decision-Making: The interplay of medical advice, personal values, and life circumstances.
Living with the Decision: How choices evolve and what acceptance looks like.
Q&A: Connect with speakers, share reflections, and ask questions in a supportive environment.
