This week, we sit down with Erica Kirschner and Jenn Perry to discuss Li-Fraumeni Syndrome and the Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Association.
Erica is a former educator who has been undergoing treatment for metastatic breast cancer for the past eleven years. After being diagnosed at 27, she was referred for genetic testing and found to have Li-Fraumeni Syndrome. LFS is a hereditary TP53 variant that predisposes children and adults to a wide array of cancers. She currently works with the nonprofit Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Association as a patient advocate.
Jenn is a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni syndrome. She is the President of the Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Association. Through the association, Jenn knew she had finally found an avenue to make a difference and effect change in an area that has affected not only many members of her family but many families around the world. She envisions a world someday where her children, grandchildren, and future family won’t have to live in fear of the disease we know as cancer.
