On this episode of the Cancer Dietitian Podcast we’re talking with Thuy Vu, a Genetic Counselor at Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center in Winston-Salem, NC, about how genetics can affect your probability of developing colon cancer and preventative measures you can take to help stay cancer-free. We’ll also chat with Jill Hyson about her diagnosis of Lynch Syndrome and how it’s affected her life and family. What we discuss:
  • When you should request to see a Genetic Counselor
  • Who is considered a medically “close relative”
  • When to worry about pre-cancerous polyps
  • Collecting your family’s medical history
  • The difference between genetics counseling and genetics testing
  • How often you should have your genetics tested
  • Three possible test results
  • How online genetics tests differ from the genetic testing requested by your doctor
  • Lynch Syndrome
  • Mentally processing your diagnosis
