Q1. Prior to my diagnosis my healthcare provider did discuss my family history and genetic testing. This is what lead me to have the genetic testing done because I do have a strong family history of breast cancer.

A10) They can assist with making the journey better by providing ALL options. Don’t just assume because someone is 50 or 60 that they are no longer interested in having anymore kids.. #TLCTransform
A8) For anyone considering fertility preservation just ensure that you are provided all of your options and don’t be afraid to get a second opinion. #TLCTransform
