In this compelling episode of The 411 Live, we delve into the critical topic of genetic testing and preventative surgeries for cancer. I had the privilege of speaking with three remarkable sisters, Dr. Patricia Cifax, Jacinta Tatum, and Sheila Adams Gardner, who shared their personal journeys after discovering they carried the RAD51D gene mutation, which significantly increases their risk for breast and ovarian cancer.
The sisters discussed their initial reactions to their genetic test results, the emotional and medical decisions they faced, and the proactive steps they took to alleviate their cancer risks. Their stories highlighted the importance of genetic testing, especially for individuals with a family history of cancer, and the potential life-saving impact of early detection and preventative measures.
