Why Genetic Counseling is Necessary with BRCA Advocate Amy Byer Shainman (Producer of LADY)
Dying of Laughter
10/07/21 • 67 min
AMY BYER SHAINMAN, also known as BRCA Responder, is an advocate, author, and producer providing support and education surrounding BRCA and other hereditary cancer syndromes. She's the executive producer of the award-winning documentary Pink & Blue: Colors of Hereditary Cancer. @brcaresponder
Shainman is a BRCA1 gene mutation carrier and a "previvor"--meaning she is a survivor of a predisposition to cancer (a previvor is someone at extraordinarily high risk for cancer who has not had the disease). In 2010, she had two prophylactic surgeries to reduce her cancer risk drastically; a nipple-sparing, skin-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction and oophorectomy with a hysterectomy.
Cure Magazine, The Jewish Journal, and The Palm Beach Post have featured Shainman's story. Shainman's medical memoir "Resurrection Lily" has won several literary awards and was the December 2020 book club selection of The National Library of Medicine.
Shainman's current project is LADY. She is a producer on the scripted feature film that highlights what it's like to be a BRCA positive female at high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.

Pt 2: The Pursuit of Breast Health Equity with Jasmine Souers & Marissa Thomas of "For the Breast Of Us"
Dying of Laughter
10/21/21 • 50 min
Today we discuss how For The Breast Of Us is empowering women of color affected by breast cancer through education, advocacy and community. This is Part 2! Check out last week's episode for Jasmine and Marissa's personal stories. @forthebreastofus
Jasmine Souers, a breast cancer survivor from Jacksonville, FL, was diagnosed with stage I breast cancer at the age of 26. Diagnosed just two days before the new year in 2016, Jasmine thought the results of her biopsy would determine the trajectory of the upcoming year, but that couldn’t have been further from the truth. In 2017, with the support of her family and close friends, Jasmine underwent a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction and 25 rounds of proton therapy radiation.
Marissa Thomas is a four-year breast cancer survivor from Tacoma, WA. Diagnosed in November 2015 at the age of 35, with Stage II High-Grade Invasive Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ (DCIS) 35% ER positive, just shy 3 months of her 36th birthday. Her active treatment in 2016 consisted of lumpectomy, Chemotherapy, Radiation and two reconstruction surgeries. While in treatment, Marissa turned to social media as a way to connect with other women and find stories similar to hers in hopes of making the journey easier.

"Grief is love with nowhere to go." I ponder my 19-year old self saying goodbye for the last time -- note: it wasn't the first. And yet, everyone tells you saying goodbye is a gift: "You're so lucky." What a peculiar experience... to wish a person who knows they will soon leave this world farewell. To a person who couldn't reply, as they had lost their voice over a year ago. To a person who couldn't move. To a person who had been paralyzed for over a decade. To a person who was at one point a lawyer, father, brother, and friend. But perhaps a person who was most known for being "the guy in the wheelchair" or "the guy with ALS." To a person who no longer dazzled, committed, or cared. To a person who was also your dad.
I really resonate with the quote: "Grief is love with nowhere to go." Maybe this podcast could be a place to go...
