On today’s episode, I am speaking with Erin Perkins. Erin was diagnosed with Stage IIB triple negative breast cancer one week before her 35th birthday in 2021. She currently serves as President for the working board of directors at The Young Breast Cancer Project. Her life’s mission is holding space for people, advocating for vulnerable groups, and sharing her core belief that we are all connected and valuable. She is the author of the book, “Young Breast Cancer: Your Story and Mine,” a supportive, resource-rich guide for those navigating breast cancer under 45, combining memoir with actionable insights. Erin is a repeat guest on the Interlude Podcast and today, she shares what the last few years have been like, her survivorship experience, the advocacy work she is doing and more.
