Genomic Life “Was My Calm in the Storm”

Just a few months after becoming a Genomic Life member through a policy offered by her employer, Kim went in for a routine colonoscopy—and discovered she had colon cancer. “I don’t have cancer in my family, so it was a shock,” she says. “I was so grateful I had Genomic Life.”

Kim connected with Erica, her experienced and knowledgeable cancer navigator. “Erica was there for me,” Kim says. “She answered all my questions, made sure I had the testing I needed, and made me feel very assured. Being able to talk to someone who can answer your questions right up front—what to worry about and what not to worry about—I don’t know what I would have done without that.”

“When I first reached out, I had no idea Erica would be that person, but she really was,” Kim continues. “She was my calm in the storm.”
