The link above will take you to the latest blog entry from Sue Friedman, Executive Director of FORCE, Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered.
Women who carry the BRCA 1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation run an increased risk of ovarian cancer over and above the average woman in her lifespan. Because of the opportunity to poll the members of FORCE and the BRCA community as well as women with a previous diagnosis and those with Lynch syndrome, we tried to develop a prioritization of the prevention of this silent killer.
Please read the article and share it with others. Ovarian cancer is sneaky. It is hard to test for it until it may be too late. The research and studies are ongoing to help identify how we can better save the lives of many women across the world.
Love and hugs,
Beth
