When you give bad news, you have to dig deep, stay calm, cool-headed and just rip off that band-aid. HEARING bad news, well, it just means that you’re left with what’s underneath that band-aid. Something that, in the instant moment in which its last grip is pulled, actually changes your life forever.

Genetic testing plays a major role in identifying an individual's risk for developing cancer as well as the management of many different cancers, including prostate cancer. It's important that we patients know the limits of a key federal privacy law that is supposed to protect us when we do have a genetic test.
In June, 2020, there was a new set of recommendations on the use of genetic testing published by the International Philadelphia Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference that strongly endorses the testing of all men with metastatic prostate cancer to aid with treatment decisions and to assess eligibility for clinical trials.
It is important that we understand that there are significant limits to the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) of 2008, which was written to protect against discrimination in employment and medical insurance for people with known genetic risk factors for diseases, including cancer.

Over the course of an hour, 22 needles went in and out of my body. Tissue was cut, torn and pulled from my body to be tested and examined, and then probably reexamined, to see if I had cancer. All while life goes on – neighborhood picnics, putting the twins to bed, visiting family – and all the while waiting to know if I have cancer or not.

I was 36, lying in bed one night, doing a random self-breast exam, and I felt it. I knew it wasn’t normal, that it shouldn’t have been there. But there were so many hoops that I had to go through before I could even get before a doctor to confirm that I wasn’t crazy and that my lump was in fact not normal.
