    Episode 371: Real Talk: Having Hope and Faith During Treatment

    Treatment is a significant part of overcoming breast cancer, but what about the mental, physical and emotional challenges this disease presents? Sarah Cipolla and Tawana Davis both relied on their faith to get through breast cancer. Through it all – the ups and downs and good times and setbacks – they had hope for better days and trusted in their faith. Hope and faith are powerful forces during challenging times. Susan G. Komen leads Worship in Pink, a nationwide program that brings breast health education to faith communities. Through this effort, Komen can reach people who don’t participate in breast health care and people who rely on their faith to overcome life’s challenges. Thanks to Merck and Novartis for supporting the Worship in Pink Program

    Episode 367: Real Talk: Reframing Bad Days

    Lakysha was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018. Her cancer was caught early but test results showed there was a high chance of recurrence. She required surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and a hormone blocker for five years. She also had a hysterectomy to minimize her risk of other cancers. Life is a journey for her, filled with ups and downs, new challenges and triumphs. And Vonya is the friend we all need. She’s the friend who helps you reframe your bad days and encourages you to focus on something that brings you joy.

    Episode 366: Facing Breast Cancer with Positivity

    There is no way around it, breast cancer is hard. But as our guest today will tell you, trying to remain upbeat throughout treatment can have a positive impact on your life. Amy Elizabeth Chalmers Hicks brings a unique perspective. She was adopted so she doesn’t know her biological family’s health history, leaving her to navigate two cancer diagnoses without the insights many rely on to understand risk. However, despite these unknowns, when she found a lump, she stayed at ease, started treatment right away, surrounded herself with people who were loving and supportive and made a deep commitment to keeping a positive attitude. She is here today to share her inspiring story with us.

    Episode 365: The Guy with Stage 4 Breast Cancer

    Men often don’t think of themselves as having breasts. For men, it’s their chest or their “pecs.” So it may come as a surprise to learn men are at risk of breast cancer. The fact is men have breast tissue and can get breast cancer. In the U.S., less than 1% of all cases occur in men, but it does happen. Today we are joined by Jake Messier, a man living with metastatic breast cancer, after being misdiagnosed twice and finally learning in August 2024 that it had advanced. Jake openly shares his story across active social media platforms and is dedicated to spreading awareness of male breast cancer, as well as the distinct mental and physical health struggles that go largely unaddressed when a man is navigating what is typically seen as a woman’s disease.
