Jewels at Home loves to decorate and get creative, but Jewels Knows Genetics as well…
When I am not being Jewels at Home, playing around with paper and paint, I am a genetic counselor working with families that have increased cancer risk based on their family history.
I’ve been collecting and creating some of my own videos to help people learn about inherited risk factors for cancer.
Introduction to Hereditary Cancer
Hereditary cancer and why it is important
MD Anderson video in Spanish
Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer
Hereditary Colon Cancer
(From Mayo in Arizona)
Genetic Testing
Understanding positive, negative, and inconclusive genetic test results

Long-term Follow-up Program
