Genetic testing is a powerful preventive tool for ovarian cancer, especially since there's no way to screen for this disease like we can with breast or cervical cancer. Golda's journey into prevention started with the results of a genetic test, which showed a gene mutation called RAD51C. But with that knowledge comes difficult decisions. She tells that story.

And, Jason Rosenthal tells the story of his wife, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, and the work of the AKR Foundation.
