<p>On today’s episode, I am speaking with Jennifer Finkelstein. Jennifer was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2005, at the age of 32, weeks before her wedding. She found herself unable to connect with anyone who had shared a similar diagnosis at such a young age. As a result, she created 5 Under 40, a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to providing support to women under 40 facing breast cancer or those with a BRCA mutation through funding medical, beauty, wellness and education services. Jennifer shares how her experiences led to the creation of this organization and talks about the incredible work they are doing now. </p>

A diagnosis of cancer is life changing. We spend so much time discussing treatment plans and physical side effects of treatment but we don't always have the opportunity to truly discuss how a cancer diagnosis affects a woman emotionally -- her feelings, worries, and fears. However, these conversations need to take place. In this podcast, we will have these difficult conversations. I will be speaking with women who are all at various stages of cancer treatment. We will talk about anything and everything related to the cancer experience. Many women feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable at in-person support groups or may not have anyone to discuss their experiences with. My hope is that this podcast will provide support, encouragement, inspiration, hope, courage, and most importantly, strength to women as they navigate through their own cancer journey.

Cancer brings normal life to a halt. It creates an INTERLUDE. Let’s talk about it.
