A Note for Moms: Breastfeeding & Childhood Cancer Prevention Research

Throughout the episode, I also share parts of our family’s story—how traditional Honduran remedies played a role, how my uncle has lived with liver cancer for years, and how faith shaped so many of our decisions.

If you or someone you love is facing a new diagnosis, I hope this gives you both comfort and practical next steps to explore with your care team.
