Do You Know Peas about Genes, Genetic Mutations, and Hereditary Cancer?

  

Knowledge is truly power when comes to preventing hereditary cancer. So, I have a created a hereditary cancer prevention resource with a little assistance from a certified genetic counselor and educator. It is professionally designed and printed, and I will try to make it available for free to as many people as possible.

More about the resource book here.

Still Relevant Today

 Selected as the cover image for a calendar published over a decade ago, this cartoon of mine is, sadly, still relevant.

Getting Families Working Together to Prevent Hereditary Cancer

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Shirts’ snowball concept for preventing hereditary disease is fantastic! As someone who has witnessed the tragic and heartbreaking result when a family with a devastating history of cancer and a known genetic variant doesn’t work together, I really appreciate this new way of thinking about cascade genetic testing.

Read the stories, learn more about inherited disease risk, and how you can help this wonderful nonprofit save lives at www.ConnectMyVariant.org.

(I created this cartoon for the December ConnectMyVarriant newsletter, BTW.)
