The Tamsen Show

The #1 Breast Cancer Doctor on the Truth About Mammograms, Hormones & Dense Breasts


Listen Later

This is the episode to send to every woman you love.


Tamsen sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Comen, a leading breast oncologist, Harvard Medical School graduate, and author of the bestseller ‘All in Her Head’, for a myth-busting conversation about breast cancer, early detection, and why advocating for yourself could save your life.

Dr. Comen shares how far we've come in treatment and breast reconstruction, the emotional toll of diagnosis, and why a breast cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence today. Tamsen opens up about losing her own mother to breast cancer, and how that grief has shaped her own choices.


This episode is packed with information that could change — or save — a life, breaking down exactly when to start getting mammograms, what dense breasts mean (and what to do about them), and the truth about alcohol, hormones, and the rising rates of cancer in younger women.

You’ll learn: 

  • The latest guidelines for screenings 
  • The difference between local and systemic disease   
  • What metastatic breast cancer really means
  • The real link between alcohol and breast cancer
  • How and when to check your own breasts
  • Why you should not be apologetic to Doctors
  • Breast cancer myths debunked from deodorant to bras
