Please join us, and other libraries across the US, as we partner with The National Library of Medicine* for author Amy Byer Shainman's discussion of her book, "Resurrection Lily: The BRCA Gene, Hereditary Cancer & Lifesaving Whispers from the Grandmother I Never Knew: A Memoir" with genetic counselor Ellen Matloff.
Ms. Shainman is a patient advocate who provides support and education surrounding BRCA and other hereditary cancer syndromes. She is also the executive producer of the award-winning documentary Pink & Blue: Colors of Hereditary Cancer. She is a BRCA-1 gene mutation carrier and a "previvor," the term for a survivor of a cancer predisposition.
Ms. Shainman will be joined by Ms. Matloff, Certified Genetic Counselor, President and CEO of My Gene Counsel, a digital health company that provides scalable, updated genetic counseling solutions. In this powerful program, these two genetic cancer experts will share their story and knowledge and answer your questions.
