👏So important! Endometrial biopsies can be painful so doing them together while sedated alleviates that, plus 1 less appointment is also a win. Thanks UCSF🙌

Did you know skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide? Winter warriors, don’t forget your sunscreen! ❄️ Snow reflects 80% of UV rays, and higher altitudes make sun damage even worse. Sunscreen can cut melanoma risk by 50%!

🧬 Today, March 22, is #LynchSyndromeAwarenessDay! Did you know that Lynch Syndrome is the most common hereditary cancer syndrome and raises the risk of colorectal & endometrial cancers? Sadly, most people (95%) are unaware until after cancer diagnosis. #LynchSyndrome

On #LynchSyndromeAwarenessDay, we honor Jacqueline’s memory. At 23, she lost her life because we didn’t know Lynch Syndrome ran in our family. Her kindness and mission to impact others live on. 💚 Share the knowledge about Lynch Syndrome to help save lives.

Lynch Syndrome is surprisingly common but mostly unknown! Only 2 out of every 100 people with it are diagnosed. We MUST change this statistic! 💜 Around 1.2 million people in the US are living with Lynch Syndrome, but many don’t know they have it until after cancer strikes.

As National Hereditary Cancer Week comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the amazing research that has happened in Lynch Syndrome since the Jacqueline Rush Foundation started. Since 2015 when the Foundation was founded, our motto has always been to “Live in Your Genes.”
