    Breast Cancer at 34: From Diagnosis to Building a Community

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of InShock, Teresa Baglietto sits down with Laura Carfang, a breast cancer survivor whose life changed in an instant at just 34 years old. What started as a subtle physical change led to a diagnosis that forced her to confront fear, uncertainty, and the reality of navigating a life-threatening illness. Laura shares her raw and honest journey from advocating for herself to get answers, through chemotherapy, surgery, and recovery. But what makes her story so powerful is what came next. Instead of returning to life as it was, she turned her experience into purpose by creating SurvivingBreastCancer.org—a platform that now supports and connects people going through one of the hardest moments of their lives. This conversation goes beyond the diagnosis. It’s about resilience, trusting your intuition, finding strength in the unknown, and how life’s most difficult moments can shift your perspective in ways you never expected. If you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis, this episode is a reminder—you’re not alone, and there is hope on the other side.  Guest Contact Info: Laura Carfang - CEO SurvivingBreastCancer.org Website: https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/ Podcast: Breast Cancer Conversations Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/survivingbreastcancerorg Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@SurvivingBreastCancer Thank you for tuning in!
