Do you have a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer? Have you tested positive for BRCA? Are you considering genetic testing? You are not alone. Light lunch will be served.
FORCE exists to improve the lives of individuals and families facing hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Local area FORCE is holding our quarterly get-together and we hope you can join us!
Learn from other people who are navigating the BRCA path. Help someone else by sharing your story. This is a great chance to meet some local area FORCE members and/or catch up with those you've met at previous get-togethers.

Although more rare than breast and ovarian cancer in families with BRCA mutations, increased pancreatic cancer risk can also be a feature of this syndrome. We will address the current research in this area with regard to risk, prevention, and screening.
Certified genetic counselors will be available to answer questions.

Many have wondered how they might get more involved. There are an increasing number of opportunities for raising awareness of and advocating for BRCA-related issues. We will talk about this at the meeting.
