October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Over the last 20 years, early detection and research have played critical roles in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of breast caner. In this episode, I talk to Dr. Lisa Porter, Professor of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Windsor and ED or WE-SPARK Health Institute and Peggy Polewski, Breast Cancer Survivor and Advocate. 

Dr. Porter shares how important research has been for breast cancer treatment. A lot of exciting things happening right here at the University of Windsor. And Peggy shares openly and honestly about what a breast cancer diagnosis looks and feels like. A positive mind-set and humour are essential!
