SHARSHERET event - November 20, 2024
Last night, I had the privilege of speaking to over 100 women at a powerful Sharsheret event in South Florida organized by Sara Trosty Walsh, LCSW. Whenever I speak, I aim to educate individuals about hereditary cancer in a way that makes them feel both comfortable and empowered to advocate for themselves with their healthcare. If someone is shy, I encourage them to bring a trusted, "pushy" friend with them to medical appointments. Sometimes individuals need a gentle reminder to honor themselves; that it's ok for them to ask hard questions, it's their right get a 2nd and/or 3rd opinion, and that it's absolutely ok for them to change doctors.
Sharsheret is a Hebrew word that means "chain". It symbolizes the connections that women, families, and communities form while facing breast and ovarian cancer.![]() |
