    Episode 306: Balancing Fear of Recurrence vs. Treatment Side Effects in Survivorship

    On today’s episode, we are discussing a topic that affects most women with hormone receptor-positive, early-stage breast cancer after they finish their initial treatment and begin navigating survivorship. To lower the risk of recurrence, most women begin taking anti-estrogen therapy, also called hormone therapy or endocrine therapy, but these treatments do not come without the risk of side effects. When side effects become severe, survivors may be faced with the task of weighing the benefits of hormone therapy against the associated side effects. This can be challenging and may even lead them to wonder how much longer they need to continue on the medication. Joining us today to discuss how patients and providers can balance fear of recurrence against potential side effects of treatment and how genomic testing can help guide treatment decisions is a Nurse Practitioner at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Adriana Olivo. This podcast is sponsored by Biotheranostics Inc., a Hologic Company. The Breast Cancer Index test is the only test recognized by the NCCN guidelines and the ASCO Clinical Practice Guideline to predict which patients are likely to benefit from extension of adjuvant anti-estrogen therapy beyond 5 years.

    Episode 305: How Political Determinants of Health Impact Us All

    People often talk about social determinants of health - the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live and age - and how they affect a person’s health, well-being and quality of life. However, there are political determinants of health that impact our health and longevity as well. Rebecca Birch, director of state policy and advocacy at Susan G. Komen, is here today to help us understand how political determinants of health ultimately determine and affect social determinants of health and how we can all get involved to create a healthier tomorrow.

    Episode 301: Real Talk: Breast Cancer Changed our Lives

    This is Real Talk, a podcast conversation where we’re digging deep into breast cancer and the realities patients and survivors face every day. We’re talking openly and honestly about just how difficult breast cancer can be, from being diagnosed to selecting the right treatment plan, to living day to day with metastatic breast cancer, and life after treatment ends. Today, we’re getting to know the Titus family – Leo, Rosalie, Allison, Laura and Kelley. Leo lost his wife Jennifer to metastatic breast cancer in 2003. She was just 34 at the time and she and Leo had three young daughters – Allison, Laura and Kelley. Kelley was just 8 months old when her mother died. The Titus family has committed themselves to doing everything they can to save lives from breast cancer in the hopes that nobody would ever have to go through what they went through, losing a wife and mother. To date, the family has raised more than $350,000 for Susan G. Komen and participated in Washington, DC-area races, walks and other fundraisers. This year, everyone is all in – doing their part to raise as much as they can for the cause.

    Episode 299: How to Cope When Hearing About a Breast Cancer Diagnosis

    We know that 1 in 8 women will be being diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. which means that most people know someone that either has been or is currently touched by breast cancer. On top of that, there have been an increasing number of celebrities in the media speaking about their breast cancer diagnoses, which can sometimes make it feel like people are being diagnosed constantly. When family members, friends, loved ones, coworkers, friends of friends – anyone around us is diagnosed – it can bring up feelings of fear and concern for our own health. Today we’ve been blessed with the perfect person on the show. Licensed professional oncology counselor and breast cancer survivor Dr. Chalice Rhodes is here to empower us to take charge of our health, to give us tools to cope with these feelings and not let anxiety stop us in our tracks and to let us know that we are capable of handling whatever comes our way!
