Breast Cancer Conversations

Love the podcast? Send us a text!

Jessica was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32. She was focused on her career, living on her own, and totally unprepared for what was ahead. Like so many of us faced with rapid fire decisions, we don't necessarily have time to research and learn about what options are available. Today we take a deep dive into the topic of fertility and breast cancer. Jessica and Laura share experiences of freezing their eggs, or not, and what you can expect with fertility preservation.

⟡ “But so many people go through really a lot of devastating loss and disconnection there at the end, that doesn't have it doesn't have to be that way.” [7:50] 

⟡ “And ask them, like the number one question is what matters most to you? What matters and we make all kinds of assumption about what matter to people on any given day, and especially at the at the end of their life. And sometimes those are true, and sometimes they line up, and oftentimes they don't.” [13:30]

Over the last few weeks we’ve been exploring topics on grief and loss. In this episode we speak with Deb Hart. 

Deb Hart lost her son at the young age of 22. She shares her powerfully touching story with us on how grief has led her to joy. Deb is the founder of Pink Sistas, a non-profit organization that specializes in retreats for those diagnosed with breast cancer. She has a boat on the Columbia river in Oregon. There is no better way to find joy than by letting the waves of grief wash over you while on the water.

♡ QUOTES WE LOVE

⟡ “There is scientific evidence that increasingly supports the view that alterations in diet have strong effects on health throughout our life. The diets that are high in fruits, veggies, legumes, fiber, and certain spices have been shown to suppress that chronic inflammation and prevent the development of chronic diseases.” 

⟡ “The average omnivore in the US gets more than 1.5 times the optimal amount of protein, most of it from animal sources. So when you think about cutting out meat and you're worried about your protein, it's definitely not a problem. If you're eating meat, you're probably getting a lot more protein than you really need. And that excess protein does not make us stronger or leaner. The excess protein is stored as fat or it's turned into waste. Animal protein is a major cause of weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, inflammation, and cancer.”

There’s no other word to describe the feeling when you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer. On any given day, you might rotate between feelings of disbelief, anger, and grief. You may even feel like you’ve lost control over your own life.

While your diagnosis might raise any number of negative feelings, here's the good news: you don’t have to feel lost or confused. In Cancer: The Journey from Diagnosis to Empowerment, Dr. Paul Anderson clearly outlines what you can expect throughout your cancer journey. More importantly, he demonstrates how to cultivate a mental outlook that will help you reach your best outcome. When it comes to healing, mind does matter.

Drawing on decades of experience, Dr. Anderson offers practical advice to demystify the healing process, empower patients, and teach loved ones how to provide effective support.

In this episode, Leslie Yerger, the author of Probably Benign and founder of My Density Matters, discusses statistics regarding detection of breast cancer, the different categories of breast density, and the various modalities of finding breast cancer within these categories. Yerger also discusses lobular breast cancer and how it is difficult to diagnose as those lumps are often hard to find. She lastly highlights how individuals must take control of their breast cancer diagnosis and urges individuals to figure out whether they have dense breasts.

♡ QUOTES WE LOVE

⟡ ”How often have we heard that, that somebody experiences something and then says, wait a minute, I don't want anybody else to experience this. And I think that's really exemplifies what Leslie is doing.  She had an experience, she figured out why she had that experience, and now she's trying to make sure that other people don't have that same experience.“ 

⟡ “You’ve got to be the boss, you have to be the boss of your own breast cancer screening. You have to ask whether you have dense breasts or not, if you don't know already, you have to learn the options around you. So we have to be strong. We have to know what we want. And we have to keep going, asking until we get what we want. Don't give up.”

♡ QUOTES WE LOVE

⟡”Are you going to call me a subject or a patient? Do I look like a subject? No, I don't look like a subject. I look like a patient. Don't call me a subject. But then that's another thing, a racial, cultural difference, you know, or experimental drug. 

⟡ ‘’The way information is communicated to patients and something I really feel passionate about just, I bringing that to light for a few reasons. If you're in that situation, and you're considering a trial, and you have no idea what they're talking about, just realize you're not alone, as most patients don't have any idea.”
