LFS Association Brazilian Chapter Chair, Yasmin Shaaban

On May 2nd 2017, Yasmin Shaaban, our newly appointed chairperson for the LFS Association’s Brazilian chapter, shared her impressions of the LFS Association’s visit to the 5th annual Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) meeting held at the A.C. Camargo Cancer Center in Sao Paulo. It was here where LFS Association President Jenn Perry introduced Ms. Shaaban to the LFS community as a local resource, connecting them with others around the world that are living with, and fighting against, LFS. For the representatives of the LFS Association, the visit was truly remarkable! We thank Drs. Maria Isabel Achatz, Alexandre da Costa, and Maria Nirvana, along with all the wonderful families who are living with LFS – their dedication, strength and warmth are truly inspirational! Together, we really are LFS stronger!
