<strong>Women</strong> <strong>In</strong> <strong>Search</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />
Since the discovery <strong>of</strong> the breast and<br />
ovarian cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1<br />
and BRCA2, our understanding <strong>of</strong> cancer<br />
predisposition has grown significantly.<br />
<strong>Women</strong> with a family history <strong>of</strong> breast or<br />
ovarian cancer can now make better decisions<br />
about cancer screening and prevention by<br />
gaining knowledge <strong>of</strong> their genetic status.<br />
The <strong>WISH</strong> program is a monthly education<br />
and support group for women who have<br />
learned through genetic testing that they carry<br />
a BRCA mutation. Participation helps women<br />
develop an informed and personal response to<br />
the difficult decisions that they may face.<br />
The <strong>WISH</strong> program is a collaborative effort<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Mount Sinai Breast <strong>Health</strong> Resource<br />
Program and the Cancer Genetic Counseling<br />
Program in the Department <strong>of</strong> Human<br />
Each <strong>WISH</strong> meeting is led by clinical social<br />
workers and a cancer genetic counselor.<br />
<strong>Health</strong>care pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and other guest<br />
speakers are invited to <strong>of</strong>fer their expertise on<br />
topics <strong>of</strong> interest to group members.<br />
Participants will explore and share experiences<br />
about the following issues:<br />
• high risk surveillance strategies<br />
• risk-reducing surgery<br />
• chemoprevention<br />
• anxiety and stress management<br />
• sexuality and reproduction<br />
• family and relationship implications<br />
• living with uncertainty<br />
All discussions and personal information will<br />
be kept confidential.<br />
<strong>WISH</strong> is <strong>of</strong>fered at no cost to participants.<br />
