FORCE: Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered

This week is National Hereditary Cancer Week.

Here's a question worth asking at your next family gathering: who in our family has had cancer, what kind, and how old were they? Write the answers down and bring them to your doctor. A simple family history can be the clue that leads to genetic counseling and testing.

A new observational study of 1,718 people with found that those who walked more had 22% lower odds of severe fatigue at 6 months and 26% lower odds at 12 months, plus better quality of life.

The study looked at patients, but the takeaway is one we can all use: regular movement is good for your body and mind, and you don't need a diagnosis to start. Small, steady habits count.

For families with , this is a reminder that life after a diagnosis is about more than treatment. But the best outcomes start with knowing your risk early. Lynch syndrome raises the risk of colorectal and other cancers, and testing tells you whether you need earlier, more frequent screening.
