LEGACY LESSON

“Important decisions regarding one’s health can be based on genetic test results. Whether it is regarding your health screenings or surgical decisions, you want to make sure the tests are accurate,” she says. “The most qualified individual to assess one’s cancer risk, order genetic tests (if any), and interpret results is a certified genetic counselor. A certified genetic counselor has specialized training in medical genetics and counseling. They know the ins and outs of insurance. They know the most trustworthy labs. They are most up-to-date on new emerging gene mutations. Genetic counseling is a conversation. A certified genetic counselor can help you understand what genetic testing may mean for you and your family. Speaking with or meeting with a certified genetic counselor does not mean that you have to undergo any type of genetic testing. If you feel your genes may be putting you at increased risk of developing certain cancers or have concerns about other genetic-based health risks, speak to a certified genetic counselor by phone or in person. These resources can be found through the National Society of Genetic Counselors.”
