I sit down with Dianne Hammer, who shares her Lynch Syndrome story for the first time on a podcast.  Recently diagnosed, Diane is still a previvor, although she found pre-cancer when she had her hysterectomy.  She's also unsure which side of her family she inherited her mutation.  An avid writer and reader, Diane was also sexually assaulted while working at a bookstore at knifepoint.  Although able to fight him off, the person had assaulted others, and eventually caught and put away.  Diane became a changed person after the experience, similar but not the same as cancer, a car accident, etc.  As a researcher, Diane found no resources for middle aged sexual assault, so she built her own platform.  Sexual assault is not about age, sex, desirability.  It's about power and control.  I was caught off guard about the dramatic number of sexual assaults that occur, taking into account the ones that aren't even reported.  I'm guessing there are people out there who could benefit from Diane's experience and the community she is creating.
