Greetings Humor Consumers!

In this powerful yet hilariously honest episode, Tracy and Cathrine dive into cancer screenings and early detection—a topic most people avoid, ignore, or delay. Tracy opens with her personal breast cancer survival story involving an oncologist, radiation, and a possible perk: a higher, tighter boob. 😂

From there, the conversation gets real about why cancer screenings matter and how early detection saves lives.

Whether you’re overdue for a mammogram, avoiding a colonoscopy out of dread, or you don’t even know what screenings you need at your age—this episode is your friendly (faith-filled) wake-up call. 💗🎀
