Knowledge is power, and you are your best advocate. Sharing her story on the podcast today is former patient Caitlin Zikoyanis, who underwent genetic IVF to eliminate the BRCA 2 gene. Tune in today to hear her story of successfully removing risk from her children’s lives through fertility treatment with RMA’s Dr. Matthew Letterman. Learn from what she would do differently and where she found her best support, and hear us bust a myth about recessive genes. Find out how genetic IVF can completely eliminate BRCA, and what Caitlin would like anyone dealing with the same issues as her to know. At the same time, they navigate the minefield of fertility treatment and cancer. As always, we finish with a moment of gratitude from each of us. Thanks for tuning in!
