Episode 312: Family Matters

Understanding your family health history can help you take better care of your health by helping to figure out your risk and take action as needed. Joining us on the show today is Jerry Carnes, a former television journalist who spent 35 years with 11Alive in Atlanta. He has an extensive family history of cancer in his family, has lost multiple family members to both breast and prostate cancers and is a prostate cancer survivor himself. Jerry is here to share his story and to spread education on the importance of knowing your family history and taking charge of your health by getting regular screenings and promoting early detection. His hope is that by that sharing his family’s experience, he can help to prevent other families from going through a similar situation.
