This study aims to understand the anxiety that people with Fanconi Anemia (FA), a rare inherited cancer syndrome, experience due to frequent cancer screenings. Many people with FA need regular doctor visits to screen for cancer, and this constant need can cause anxiety. This observational study will gather information during your routine visits to the NIH Clinical Center for the Fanconi Anemia Cancer Screening Study (FACSS). Researchers will use ethnographic field notes (detailed observations) to learn about your experiences and how you manage this anxiety. The goal is to improve understanding of these challenges within the FA community. You can join if you are an adult (18-100 years old) with FA and are already enrolled in the FACSS protocol. The study plans to include 20 participants.
