BRCA & Beyond | A Hereditary Cancer Podcast

If you're a hereditary cancer previvor, in treatment, or a cancer survivor, this podcast is for you.

BRCA & Beyond is a hereditary cancer podcast for previvors, survivors, and mutation carriers navigating a genetic mutation, including BRCA1, BRCA2, Lynch syndrome, PALB2, CHEK2, ATM, TP53, CDH1, PTEN, RAD51C, RAD51D, STK11, and beyond.

Whether you're weighing genetic testing, navigating a family history of cancer, considering preventive surgery, in active treatment, living in survivorship, or supporting a loved one through a hereditary cancer diagnosis, you'll find real conversations here.

Hosted by Marisa Stachelski, a stage 1 colon cancer survivor and BRCA2 previvor, each episode covers what genetic counseling and clinical care often leave out... identity, body image, intimacy, fertility, career, family planning, and survivor's guilt.

You'll hear from previvors, survivors, mutation carriers, caregivers, genetic counselors, and oncology experts on the realities of hereditary cancer risk, prophylactic surgery, surveillance, hereditary cancer screening, and life after a mutation diagnosis.

Topics include hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, inherited cancer risk, genetic testing, and living with a hereditary cancer syndrome.

Because a positive genetic test result changes more than your medical chart. New episodes every week for the hereditary cancer community.

BRCA & Beyond is written, recorded, and run independently by Marisa, a colon cancer survivor and BRCA2 previvor. If this podcast has helped you, you can support the mission here:
