I did not put breast cancer screening (aside from a routine mammogram) on my 2023 to-do list. I found out what happens when your mammogram is abnormal. In this episode, I share my experience as a patient. This journey started in February and continued into May. I saw mostly techs and providers, but not many nurses, in the process. There were several calls with schedulers and those who obtained insurance authorization. I had multiple appointments and procedures. Despite being a nurse (oncology nurse) and being well-cared for, there was a lot I did not know in this more in-depth diagnostic process.

Breast Cancer Life is a podcast where I share my breast cancer experience in the hope that you can use this information to help you, as the patient or friend or family member of someone living breast cancer life. Nothing could have prepared me for this lived experience - not a friend with cancer or a nurse or doctor. That's why I'm sharing my experience with you. I am Natalie, your host. Join me as I share my journey.
