Infertility struggles are incredibly challenging, both mentally and physically. So, imagine dealing with these hurdles alongside a life-altering diagnosis. This is the position our guest today, Amy Switzer, was in a few years ago. Amy knew that she had to do IVF as it was difficult for her to get pregnant naturally. On her journey to conceive, after genetic testing, she was diagnosed with BRCA1, the breast cancer gene. In this episode, Amy shares some of this difficult journey with us and how the IVF with a BRCA diagnosis proved to be a silver lining. She also sheds more light on BRCA, such as who should get tested, her life with the diagnosis, and her plans for the future in light of it. Amy has used BRCA to empower herself and others to take control of their health and diagnoses.
