I'm in an advanced #breastCancer screening program. It's mostly for carriers of the #BRCA gene mutation. I don't have that but since the murder boob incident happened when I was way younger than the average patient and I'm not the first patient in my family, they took me too.

Dr Eileen O’Reilly at #MSK ordered germline & somatic testing soon after Jay’s diagnosis with #PancreaticCancer, years before it was an #ASCO guideline. He was found to have a gBRCA1 mutation - targetable by #PARP inhibitor #olaparib - allowing a welcome chemo break. So grateful for the eight years we had post-diagnosis. #PancreasCancer
#BRCA

Jay maintained a healthy diet and never smoked, yet was diagnosed with #PancreaticCancer. Tested at #MSK, he was found to have a #BRCA defect. His mother & aunt died of breast & ovary cancers in their 30s, and there was painful #Pancreatitis on that side of the family, most of whom were teetotalers. Genetic testing is now recommended for everyone with #PancreasCancer. I thought Jay really rocked (!) a bald head with #chemotherapy….in this case #Abraxane, or, #Nab-paclitaxel.

This is an amazing victory for cancer patients & all of those with #BRCA and other mutations. Our data (all of us who tested with
Myriad Genetics
) will now be part of a public database. https://www.genomeweb.com/molecular-diagnostics/myriad-genetics-submit-hereditary-cancer-risk-variants-clinvar-2023

#introduction

Hello. I am Ken Deutsch, patient advocate and health communications professional. I follow the data at JPA Health to help our clients reach their targeted audiences.

As an 8+ year survivor of metastatic cancer with a #BRCA mutation, I am a passionate advocate of genetic & genomic testing and equitable access to the best information and treatment.

I look forward to connecting with other patients, communicators and medical professionals.
