January 23, 2022143. My Friend Has Breast Cancer, What Can I Do To Help? With Candace Bloomstrand and Lauren Rampello
Love the podcast? Send us a text!
When you are diagnosed with breast cancer it is devastating. When you find out your friend has breast cancer, it can trigger PTSD, flashbacks of your own diagnosis, empathy for what your friend is about to endure, and a willingness to help, support, and be there for her.
We often get asks from friends, what can they do to support someone who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Similarly, those of us living with a diagnosis often talk about what not to say to someone with a recent diagnosis. Sometimes even the most helpful words of encouragement or best intentions can rub someone the wrong way. What better way to explore this conversation than to invite Candace Bloomstrand to interview her friend, Lauren Rampello what it was like to be diagnosed with breast cancer under 35, run a successful business, and explore how friends can offer support, knowing that the support you may request one day may look different a day, week, or month down the line.

Welcome to the conversation.

January 09, 2022142. Diagnosed Under 35 and Running a Business. Who Has Time For Cancer? With Candace Bloomstrand and Lauren Rampello
Love the podcast? Send us a text!
When you’re busy running a thriving business, living a healthy life-style, and too young for routine mammograms - because you are not considered high risk, why would you ever think you would be diagnosed with breast cancer?

After a series of people telling her that she was too young for breast cancer, Lauren ended up being diagnosed under the age of 35. Today Lauren shares her story about how she was able to navigate an aggressive treatment regimen, relied on friends, family and colleagues to maintain her business, and all of this with the COVID-19 pandemic as the backdrop.

Welcome to the conversation.

January 09, 2022141. Realities of Knowing Your Genetic Results Came Back Positive. Mother Perspectives
Love the podcast? Send us a text!
Today on Breast Cancer Conversations, we continue the conversation of germline breast cancer mutations and the weighted complexities of passing on genes that may lead to developing breast cancer, or other types of cancer. We are joined by:
Dr. Mártir-Negrón: a medical geneticist at Miami Cancer Institute, a world class cancer center part of Baptist Health South Florida. Dr. Mártir-Negrón, is trained in internal medicine, genetic diagnosis and the treatment of patients with hereditary disorders. Dr. Mártir-Negrón, is board certified in medical genetics and internal medicine. Her clinical interests include genetic cancer risk assessment, breast cancer, colon cancer and ovarian cancer. We are also joined today with a panel of women, moms, and daughters, who have all been affected by either breast cancer or a germline genetic mutation, which increases one's risk for developing cancer.
Abigail Johnston: who is living with metastatic stage iv breast cancer and carries the ATM gene Abigail’s mother, Beverly Schroeder who was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer only to discover later on that she too carries the ATM gene.
Trish Chambers Balas three-time breast cancer survivor joins us with her daughter Maddie Balas.
We also have Stephanie McLeod Estevez. After losing her mom to metastatic breast cancer, Stephanie decided not to rush into getting genetic testing. She focused on grieving the loss of her mother and starting her own family. It wasn't till after she became a mom and was diagnosed with breast cancer herself, that she discovered that she carries the BRCA2 genetic mutation.
We don't have any control of our genes. Let me just start it with that. Our genes are the things that are in our DNA, it is something that we have no control over. This is not about blame. This is not about looking at somebody and saying it's your fault. It's about how do you deal with a genetic mutation that runs in a family. Welcome to the conversation.
