Uncover the Power of Genetic Awareness: Barrington Event Focuses on Cancer Risk
Are you ready to explore the fascinating world of genetic testing and its profound impact on cancer prevention? Join us for an enlightening evening at the 'Previvor Voices: Navigating Genetic Testing' event, taking place on October 29th from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Barrington White House, located at 145 W. Main St.
This unique gathering will begin with a networking session from 5:30 to 6 p.m., allowing attendees to connect and engage with like-minded individuals. Then, get ready for an inspiring program featuring Lynn Caccavallo, who will share her family's remarkable journey as 'previvors'—a term that describes individuals living with a genetic mutation who have not yet been diagnosed with cancer.
But here's where it gets controversial... Genetic testing is not just about personal stories; it's a powerful tool for risk management and preventive care. To shed light on this aspect, we've assembled an expert panel comprising renowned professionals:
- Dr. Sandeep Chunduri, a hematologist and oncologist, will delve into the intricacies of genetic counseling and its role in guiding individuals towards informed decisions.
- Dr. Barry Rosen, a breast surgeon, will provide valuable insights into the latest advancements in risk management and preventive care.
- Tina Marie Bauman, a hematology and oncology nurse practitioner, will share her expertise on the practical aspects of genetic testing and its integration into healthcare.
This free event, hosted by Advocate Health Care, promises to be an eye-opening experience. Don't miss out on the opportunity to learn, connect, and potentially save lives.
