The user can then access all the content contained in their GMSA library.

Lisa is 37 years old. She has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. The diagnosis came as a surprise: as Lisa tells her doctor, she has always led a healthy lifestyle, she exercises frequently (even running marathons!), usually tries to eat a balanced diet, she rarely drinks alcohol and has never smoked. She’s not aware of any family history of cancer and her mother has always been healthy. After talking to her extended family and doing some digging, she finds out that her paternal aunt, who lives in another country, also had breast cancer in her 50s.
