Episode 70

In this episode, Heather Z, a patient advocate with two rare brain tumors and a hereditary cancer syndrome called Cowden Syndrome, shares her journey from first symptoms to genetic testing and eventually diagnoses and surgeries. Heather has a PTEN mutation which officially diagnoses Cowden Syndrome and she offers insight on what she has learned through these challenges including how to help others with hereditary cancer syndromes and rare diseases.
Hereditary cancer syndromes evaluate one’s risk to develop certain cancers depending on what mutation they have. For Cowden Syndrome, this includes cancer of the breast, thyroid and endometrium (lining of the uterus). Most people with Cowden Syndrome develop hamartomas which are noncancerous growths found on the skin, mucous membranes (such as the lining of the mouth and nose) and intestines.
