#Brca 2

I carry the BRCA2 gene. I actually didn’t know that I had it until after my cancer diagnosis. Even knowing what I know now, I don’t believe it would have changed the path I chose. I also chose not to have preventative surgery after my diagnosis. This was not a decision I made lightly. I want to be clear that I have nothing but respect for women who have done surgery. Everyone deserves to make the decision that feels most aligned with them. But my story ultimately chose something different. Yes, removing tissue can reduce risk. I read that when I was scouring the internet, binge reading books and asking anyone who would listen to my questions. My dear friend who is an MD and breast pathologist told me to get the mastectomy; I remember her saying on one of our lengthy phone conversations “get it over with and behind you”. And I just couldn’t align even WITH a diagnosis. But my journey led me to learn more about epigenetics the idea that while genes can increase risk they don’t determine DESTINY. Our internal environment matters…Inflammation, stress, trauma, nutrition, lifestyle, toxic exposures, chemicals/ air, water….. it can all influence how genes express in the body. For me, the deeper question became: what kind of terrain did I create for unhealthy cells to thrive? After experiencing heavy events in my life, moldy apartments….my focus shifted. I chose to focus on changing the environment within my body and my life. Reducing stress. Healing trauma. Supporting my immune system. Creating a terrain where healthy cells thrive. Obviously medicine was involved too but yanking weeds and creating a healthy garden was what I kept my eyes on. I talk with so many women in this community. Some carry a cancer gene but have never had cancer. Some have had cancer. And many share how overwhelming the decisions can feel especially when it seems like there is only one “right” path and that’s the funny thing. We don’t belong in a box… so much can happen outside of it. None of this is about certainty or guarantees. It’s simply the path that felt right for me🤍

In 2022, my cousin found out they were BRCA2 positive, which is a genetic mutation that can be passed down through family and greatly increases the risk of certain cancers. They encouraged me to get tested… and I didn’t rush. I was actually the last in my family to do it.
But when I finally did, I found out I was positive too. That test changed everything. Because once we knew, doctors checked me more closely, and we found out I had breast cancer. I also chose surgery to reduce my risk of ovarian cancer. It’s been a journey I never expected… but I’m so grateful I had the chance to get ahead of it. Early knowledge gave me options. If someone in your family mentions genetic testing, listen. I’m so happy I did. 😊

Dr Dan Reisel asks Caroline, who has a BRCA gene alteration, what it would have meant to her to have access to a digital tool with information on her options when she was first diagnosed. We are delighted to be funding Dan and his team @uclifwh to create a tool, called BRCANavigate, to support women in making informed decisions about their health and reducing or monitoring their cancer risk. Caroline and other people affected by BRCA gene alterations will be working on this project to help make sure the tool is accurate and easy to use. A huge thanks to Caroline for talking to us about her experience and the work she is doing with Dan. Find out more on our website, linked in bio. #BRCA #BRCA1 #BRCA2 #CancerResearch #OvarianCancer

I was invited by the President of the United States to attend a special event on healthcare and a discussion on the importance of patient advocacy. I’m pretty far into my 3rd trimester and while traveling 8,000 miles/maybe giving birth in the West Wing wasn’t part of my original birth plan… with the support of my incredible husband, Yve’s Omi, and WH staff, we were able to make it happen (minus the giving birth part, thankfully). Despite growing up in the DC area, I had never actually been in the White House before. To get to experience it in such a special way, with my little baby in tow, was something I’ll never forget. I started sharing my preventive healthcare journey over 10 years ago and I cannot believe where it has taken me and all of the people I’ve been able to meet along the way. Here’s your reminder to find what you love and to chase it - you will never regret it. I hope my babies are able to look back at the photos from this day and realize that they can be anything they want to be.

Chodzę bez stanika, bo chcę się nacieszyć swoimi… W grudniu będę mieć poważną operację- mastektomię zdrowych piersi. Zostaną usunięte gruczoły i w zamian dostanę implanty. Tak wiem, będę może nawet lepiej wyglądać, ale prawda jest taka, że razem z tym stracę czucie w piersiach, będę musiała nosić stanik sportowy, uważać, żeby implant się nie przesunął, dbać o rany. Mam mało tłuszczu w p… więc, po usunięciu gruczołu zostanie właściwie sama skóra, w którą wsadzi się implanty. Stąd problem z czuciem w p… bo nerwy też zostaną wycięte, dopływ krwi do skóry też jest zagrożony. Jestem zdrowa Mam tylko mutację genu BRCA2 Nagrałam o tym odcinek podcastu Napisz PODCAST, a podeślę ci link Kochaj swoje p…, bo nie wiadomo kiedy może ich zabraknąć ❤️ #kobietaipieniadze #edukacjafinansowa #finanseosobiste #motywacja #kobietaniezalezna #dominikanawrocka #kobieta #motywatorfinansowy #porady #moneyhacks #edukacja #finanse #edukacjafinansowa #pieniadze #budzetdomowy #finansowainspiracja #inwestowanie #oszczedzanie #brca2

「うち、乳がん家系じゃないから大丈夫」 そう思ってた私が、BRCA1でした。 実は、BRCA1って父方から気がつかずに代々受け継がれていることもある 産まれてから70歳まで 乳がんに罹るリスク→70% 卵巣癌に罹るリスク→40〜60% 「自分は大丈夫」と思ってる人にこそ伝えたい。 定期的な検診と自己触診を忘れずに🩷 シコリに気づいていたのに、産後の私は検診する余裕も体力もなかった。 自分のケアを後回しにした結果…乳がんリンパ節転移。 子どもたちと生きていく時間を大切にしたい。 同じ思いをする人が1人でも減りますように。 📌 忘れないように保存・シェア♪ 最後の… 思えておいて→覚えておいて です🤦‍♀️O型の素質でちゃってました。笑 #BRCA1 #卵巣癌 #乳がん検診 #乳がんママ#トリネガ#トリプルネガティブ乳がん#乳がん#遺伝性乳がん卵巣がん症候群 #乳腺炎#乳腺症#産後ママ#RRSO#HBOC

Important 📣📣📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 ABOUT 112211 ⏬️⏬️⏬️⏬️

03/03/2026 marca mais que uma data. Marca uma nova oportunidade. Uma oportunidade para que uma nova gestão escreva mais um capítulo na história de uma instituição que, desde 1966, faz parte da construção econômica e social do Distrito Federal. O BRB não é uma página isolada. O BRB é uma história viva, um livro que nunca se encerra. Porque, enquanto alguns imaginam estar escrevendo o último capítulo, sempre surge uma nova geração com disposição, coragem e responsabilidade para começar a escrever o seu primeiro. É assim que as grandes instituições atravessam o tempo: renovando ideias, abrindo caminhos e permitindo que novas mãos continuem a escrever uma história que pertence a toda a sociedade brasiliense. Do lado de cá, deixamos também um recado aos nossos gestores: muitos colegas seguem contando os segundos para vestir essa camisa e fazer parte desse livro, prontos para, ao lado dos empregados da ativa, construir diariamente um BRB cada vez maior. #sou+BRB #SempreBRB

in honour of 2 bbdc instructors I knew that had been very dedicated to their job until the very end, i edited this video as a rough guide for class 2a & 2 learners which mainly focuses on the test route + blindspot checks bcos I know ppl often get points for not checking blindspot. obstacle course requirements are inside the video for 2b-2a-2 (sorry if I missed out anything else, I tried my best to rmb) #bbdc #tp #bikelife #bikegram #sgriders #sgbikers #nc750x #motorcycle #motorbike
