23 SET 2024 · On today’s episode, we have two special guests, Kristina Guerrero, journalist, TV host, lifestyle expert and author along with three-time Emmy award-winning journalist, TV host, author and speaker, Gaby Natale. Both are Latinas in the public eye who were diagnosed at young ages with breast cancer. We’ll talk with them about navigating their breast cancer diagnosis as a Latina, how it changed them as storytellers and what they want to share with the Latino community having gone through this experience.
16 SET 2024 · Tumor profiling or genomic testing can give us information about the genes in a person’s cancer cells and can help guide doctors to the best possible treatment plan by predicting the risk of recurrence, or when breast cancer returns after initial treatment. If a low risk of recurrence is shown, people with breast cancer and their doctors can choose to pursue a less aggressive treatment plan with confidence. Here today to empower us with information about the power of genomics and to give further insight into how it can positively affect treatment decisions is Medical Oncologist, specializing in Breast Cancer and Cancer Genomics, and Chief Medical Officer at Agendia, Dr. William Audeh.
9 SET 2024 · This is Real Talk, a podcast conversation where we’re digging deep into breast cancer and the realities patients and survivors face every day. We’re talking openly and honestly about just how difficult breast cancer can be, from being diagnosed to selecting the right treatment plan, to living day to day with metastatic breast cancer, and life after treatment ends. In today’s episode, we’re talking about advice. Naturally, we want to help and support our friends and family when difficult situations arise, but sometimes our advice can have the opposite effect of what we intended. Without knowing, we can create doubt or confusion by telling someone going through breast cancer what WE would do if WE were diagnosed. Valerie Engel is French-American and was treated for breast cancer in the United States. She heard from some in France that surgery wasn’t safe, and she wasn’t making the right choice. Valerie felt she had made the right decision with the input and guidance from her care team, but the opinions of others didn’t make an already difficult time any easier for her. Dr. Miggins is a medical provider who works with her patients every day to make the best decisions for their treatment. She wants her patients to feel confident in the choice they make, knowing the options they have based on their personal breast cancer diagnosis.
2 SET 2024 · Women with a very high risk of breast cancer due to genetic mutations, such as BRCA, may consider risk-reducing bilateral mastectomies to lower their risk of breast cancer. While these prophylactic mastectomies do not completely protect a woman from breast cancer, they lower the risk in women at high risk by at least 90%. When today’s guest learned that she was a carrier of the BRCA1 mutation at only age 31, she began preparing for her surgery and found both an escape and a sense of confidence through romance novels where women were embracing self-confidence, self-love and their bodies. Reading romance novels carried her through her recovery and this year, she published her own romance novel, Four Weekends and a Funeral, with a lead character who has also just undergone a double mastectomy. Ellie Palmer is here today to share her story and how a genre of books helped not only bring her joy, but also gave her a language to help discuss her body and what she feared losing.
26 AGO 2024 · 1 in 5 women who have had breast cancer surgery and treatment are at risk for developing a potentially detrimental side effect of breast cancer – breast cancer-related lymphedema – a condition in which lymphatic fluid gets trapped in lymph vessels and causes chronic arm swelling leading to reduced quality of life for many. We are joined today by Tina Tsan, a certified lymphedema therapist and the Founder of Harmony Lymphatics. Tina is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to her patients and is excited to be here today to share her wealth of knowledge and expertise about managing lymphedema during and after breast cancer treatment.
19 AGO 2024 · Most people diagnosed with breast cancer will never have a breast cancer recurrence. However, everyone who’s had breast cancer is at risk of recurrence. Today’s guest is Nikki Panico, the Executive Director of Susan G. Komen Wisconsin. Nikki is unfortunately no stranger to breast cancer. Her mother and aunt both died from the disease 14 years ago, the same year that Nikki was diagnosed for the first time. Now, she is dealing with a second diagnosis, despite undergoing a double mastectomy and 5 years of hormone treatment and having no evidence of disease for over a decade. Nikki is here today to share the physical symptom that led her back to her doctor and how she is feeling amidst this new fight.
12 AGO 2024 · This is Real Talk, a podcast conversation where we’re digging deep into breast cancer and the realities patients and survivors face every day. We’re talking openly and honestly about just how difficult breast cancer can be, from being diagnosed to selecting the right treatment plan, to living day to day with metastatic breast cancer, and life after treatment ends. In today’s episode, we’re talking about mastectomies and how they aren’t boob jobs. Asha Miller was diagnosed with Stage 3 HER2-negative breast cancer at age 33. She was in great physical shape and never suspected the lump she found in her armpit. She underwent chemotherapy and surgery for a double mastectomy, followed by radiation that left severe burns on her skin. She thought she was finally finished with her treatment but a recall on her breast implants sent her back to the hospital for another surgery. Dr. Stephanie McCoy is a passionate advocate for health equity and a qualitative research professional at Susan G. Komen. With her extensive experience in public health, Stephanie works to ensure the work Komen does across various Mission programs is responsive to the communities we serve toward breast health equity for all.
5 AGO 2024 · Chemotherapy or “Chemo” is often associated with cancer treatment and hair loss, but what do you know about it? The term preventative chemotherapy has been mentioned in the media recently in relation to Princess Kate’s cancer journey, leaving many people wondering exactly what that means. We are joined today by Komen Scientific Advisory Board member Dr. Lisa Carey, who will help us understand the evolving role of chemotherapy, preventative chemotherapy, and more in the treatment of breast cancer.
29 LUG 2024 · Today’s guest is a mom of three young girls, a firefighter and a contestant from season 36 of “The Amazing Race”, who first found out that she had lumps in her breast from a pre-taping required physical for the show. After competing on “The Amazing Race” and returning home, 36-year-old Bizzy Smith had a long road of self-advocacy ahead of her before finally receiving the breast MRI that diagnosed her breast cancer. Bizzy is here today to help raise breast cancer awareness for younger women and to keep it real with topics like talking to her daughters about the changes in her body, still wanting to feel sexy, and how she’s been able to stay connected to her husband. Her positive spin on life has made all the difference and we are thrilled to have her here today to share her story.
22 LUG 2024 · How do you navigate breast cancer when you know the health care system is stacked against you? And, how, as a health care provider, can you best support marginalized people going through the experience of breast cancer? Let’s find out. In this episode, Jasmine Samuel, a TNBC survivor and Black nurse shares how her experience of suboptimal care in Jackson, Miss., encouraged her to actively seek out a better care experience from MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. We’ll also hear from Komen Scholar Dr. Mariana Chavez MacGregor, a breast medical oncologist and professor at the Breast Medical Oncology Department of MD Anderson Cancer Center who will discuss how she provides compassionate care and focuses research on improving outcomes for underserved patients.
