Ep. 17: LCIS and Breast Cancer: You're a Previvor Now, with Donna Bragg
Welcome to episode 17 of Mind Bloom. And welcome to October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
In this episode, your host, Marina Gee will walk you through the month's outline: there will be two episodes a week this month, one every Tuesday and a bonus episode every Thursday of October. The reason for this is to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month and bring this disease to the forefront in terms of scientific research and the public sphere. Did you know that early detection is key? Are you aware of breast cancer symptoms? Would you like to bust some of the myths surrounding its causes? So stay with Mind Bloom to learn more, as we meet with breast surgeons, metastatic breast cancer patients, women in their late-20s in remission, reconstruction options, and breast cancer it its multiple shapes and forms (ductal, lobular, triple negative E-receptor, secondary, etc.).
In this episode, Marina Gee speaks with Donna Bragg, an Arkansas-based marketing executive, with more than twenty years under her belt as a newscast anchor and a medical reporter. Donna Bragg was diagnosed with LCIS (Lobular Carcinoma in Situ) two years ago and has since chosen the route of preventative double mastectomy, to decrease the changes of developing breast cancer down to 2-5% in her lifetime.
Donna has recently founded Sharing with My Breasties, an online platform where she gives voice to her own personal experience as a previvor and as someone who went through one of the toughest decisions in the life of any womxn: to undergo a double mastectomy.
