The Diagnosis That Changed Everything

· Background Story

Nearly twenty years ago, I received the life-altering diagnosis of Lynch Syndrome, a hereditary cancer syndrome that would not only shape my life but also ignite a passion for advocacy. The uncertainty and fear that came with my diagnosis were overwhelming, yet I found strength in connecting with others who faced similar battles. This journey has taught me the importance of education, support, and empowerment for patients and caregivers, especially those from underserved communities who often feel overlooked in the healthcare system.
