So when I was approached about sharing my experience with genetic testing as part of a #sponsored campaign with @Invitae, I immediately said yes. Not only because the test played a critical role in my treatment, but because my doctors at Providence had specifically requested I do the test through Invitae following my diagnosis. ⁠ ⁠ One saliva test screens for 61 genes that can assess risk for all types of cancer - melanoma, prostate, breast, thyroid, etc - so you’ll get a better understanding of helpful lifestyle modifications and preventative screenings (ie mammograms or colonoscopies.) And for those of you who are in great health, genetic screening can still be incredibly valuable for understanding your risk …1 in 12 healthy adults show an increased genetic risk associated with cancer, even without a personal or strong family history!⁠ ⁠ The test itself is simple: 1) you start your order online or have your doctor order for you 2) a clinician reviews the order 3) a kit comes in the mail & you collect a saliva sample 4) within a couple weeks you talk through your results with a genetic counselor. ⁠It’s easy, relatively affordable and could have a PROFOUND IMPACT on your life.⁠ Please keep in mind - there are a lot of genetic tests out there, but Invitae is one of only a few medically reliable labs used by doctors to inform treatment options. For example, if you’re found to have the BRCA gene, your doctor will likely encourage a full mastectomy versus a lumpectomy. So...reliability is really important! ⁠ ⁠ Have you had genetic testing? Share your #MyInvitae story or leave a 🧬 in the comments if you're interested & let me know if you have any questions. I’ll also be sharing more about the process and my results in my Insta story if you’re interested.
