Episode 014: C&C invite Hetal Vig on to speak about the importance of screening and cancer genetics
Episode 14
Wednesday, 1 February, 2023
Perimenopause is such an important time to continue with and/or start preventative cancer screenings: mammograms, pap smears, colonoscopies and skin checks to name a few. Did your mom, dad, sibling or close relative have a cancer diagnosis and you're afraid the "c" word runs in your family. Should you get screenings earlier than suggested? How do you know when to have a conversation with your doctor? Christen and Carla speak with board certified genetic counselor, Hetal Vig, on today's episode to find out all about cancer risk and genetic counseling. Why is genetic counseling important? Who should be counseled? What should you do with the information if you get tested? If you've ever asked yourself these questions or are curious about genetic testing, this is an episode for you! We hope you enjoy listening to this conversation with Hetal--she's a fountain of knowledge and breaks it down for us to make sense of it all!

As always, if this episode resonates with you please give us a follow, share with your friends, like, rate and review to help us spread the word and continue talking about all the important issues during this phase of life! Enjoy! xo C&C
