Ask a Genetic Counselor: A Q&A to learn about testing & risks
November 8, 2023 @ 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Date: Wednesday, November 8th at 4pm (PST)
In time for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and the holidays, we offer an interactive Zoom webinar with Wendy Conlon, MS, CGC to discuss genetic testing for individuals and families dealing with pancreatic cancer. This event is perfect for those with a family history of pancreatic cancer or those who have questions for a genetic counselor. We will address how knowing your family history and your genetic status can change medical care options for you and your loved ones.
Wendy will begin with a brief overview about genetic counseling and testing, what it entails and how to find a counselor. Then we will open the floor so Wendy can answer questions from how to get genetic testing to high-risk pancreas screenings to how these results can impact future health decisions.
