Shanise Pearce, Credibility Health Equity Advocate, Founder at The Advocate’s Table shared a post on LinkedIn:
“When I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer in 2023, my life changed in an instant.
What followed was chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, multiple surgeries, and navigating the emotional and physical realities of survivorship. Along the way, I also learned that I carry BRCA2 and PMS2 gene mutations associated with Lynch Syndrome, which means my journey with cancer awareness and prevention will continue for the rest of my life.
What I quickly realized is that too many people are navigating cancer, genetic risk, and the healthcare system feeling overwhelmed and alone.
That realization is what led me to create The Advocate’s Table.
Today, I’m excited to share that I have launched The Advocate’s Table Community, a new online space where survivors, caregivers, patient advocates, healthcare professionals, and individuals navigating hereditary cancer risk can come together to learn, support one another, and empower patients to use their voices.
Inside this community we will talk openly about:
- Survivorship and healing.
- Genetics and hereditary cancer risk.
- Mental health and emotional wellness.
- Adolescents and young adults navigating genetic mutations.
- Patient advocacy and healthcare navigation.
- Building empowered relationships with our medical teams.
- Health equity and policy change.
My hope is that this becomes a place where people feel supported, informed, and empowered.
If this resonates with you or someone you know, I would love to welcome you. Pull up a seat at The Advocate’s Table.
Join the community.”
