You inherited your mom’s eyes, your dad’s smile and maybe even your grandma’s stubborn streak. But what about the things you *can't* see? 🧬💗
Genetic testing can be a powerful tool in understanding your cancer risk. Knowing you carry an inherited genetic mutation may open the door to earlier screenings, more personalized care and opportunities to reduce your risk.
It doesn't stop with you, either. If you carry an inherited mutation linked to breast cancer, each of your first-degree relatives (parents, siblings and children) has a 50% chance of carrying that same mutation.
This , Dr. Susan Boolbol is sharing why understanding inherited risk matters and why more women should feel empowered to ask one simple question:
"Should I consider genetic testing?"
Ask for yourself. Ask for your daughters, sisters, mothers and grandmothers. Because advocating for your health could make a difference for generations.
