Episode 9 – From Patient to Advocate: A Marketing Pro’s Personal Mission to Accelerate Patient Access to Genetic Testing

In This Episode

After her mother’s battle with breast cancer, Caroline became vigilant about early detection.  But when her own diagnosis came, the real surprise wasn’t just the cancer, it was the genetic revelation that followed.  A PMS2 mutation unlocked a hidden risk for multiple cancers, forcing Caroline to make life-altering decisions not just for herself, but for her entire family.

Breast cancer survivor and advocate Caroline Yost thought genetic testing would be standard after her diagnosis. But when she learned most oncologists still don’t offer hereditary cancer testing to patients—despite its power to save lives—she turned frustration into action.

Now a fierce advocate, Caroline reveals how she turned fear into action, pushing for genetic testing to become standard care—and why so many doctors still overlook it. Her story is a wake-up call: knowledge isn’t just power—it’s survival.

Tune in to hear how she fought back.
