Welcome to Not Today Cancer
Their mission is to inspire and empower those who have been affected by cancer. Darren's diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 and Jens breast cancer diagnosis in 2021 may seem like a crazy coincidence, but it's given them a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of living with cancer. Through their own experiences, they have emerged stronger and more determined to help others facing a similar journey.
As beacons of hope, they are committed to shining a light for those navigating the difficult path of cancer. They know firsthand the fear, uncertainty, and pain that come with a cancer diagnosis, and they want to guide others through this journey towards a place of strength and resilience. Their mission is to show that, despite the challenges, it's possible to Reset & Rise and emerge from this experience as better, more empowered individuals.

Debunking the Myths About Mammograms With Dr. Robyn Roth
Dr. Robyn Roth (AKA @theboobiedocs on Instagram) debunks myths about mammograms and emphasizes the importance of early detection. The discussion covers the impact of breast density on imaging and the need for additional tests. This conversation covers various topics related to breast cancer, including risk factors, genetic testing, high-risk clinics, family planning, lifestyle modifications, overdiagnosis, caregiving, finding purpose, the biopsy experience, researching doctors, and self-advocacy during exams.
The breast cancer risk calculator: https://ibis-risk-calculator.magview.com
Verify information on social media, especially when it comes to health-related topics. Mammograms play a crucial role in early breast cancer detection and can save lives. Breast density can affect the accuracy of mammograms, and additional imaging may be necessary. Mammograms involve a low dose of radiation that is comparable to other everyday exposures. Knowing your breast cancer risk is important for determining appropriate screening and prevention strategies. Family planning decisions may be influenced by genetic testing results and breast cancer risk. Lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, and minimizing stress, can help reduce breast cancer risk. Overdiagnosis and over treatment are important considerations in breast cancer management. Connect with Robyn here: https://www.instagram.com/theboobiedocs

Customer Reviews
Relatable
As a breast cancer survivor I can relate to Jen and her outlook so well! I also love hearing Darren’s perspective. This podcast is great for anyone who has been affected by cancer but also for anyone who needs to be inspired to change their perspective and look for the joy in life!
✨PRICELESS GIFT!✨
Not Today Cancer has been a lifeline for me recently. As an ultra healthy woman, being diagnosed with aggressive, Her2+ breast cancer + the BRCA2 gene, requiring chemo, dbl mastectomy, + ovaries removed, turned my world upside down!
After diagnosis I started binging the podcast daily, soaking in every detail like a sponge. Hearing other women's voices and experiences, plus specialist interviews was exactly what I needed to feel more empowered. I've listened to several of them multiple times!
I sent Jen a message to thank her for her helpful podcast and I was pleasantly surprised with a voice text that took the gift to the next level! I was able to ask her some questions and receive priceless, comforting responses as well as book recommendations. How amazing is that! Jen says she's put on this earth to help newly diagnosed women. This is obviously her god given passion!
Not only is the podcast pure gold for a newly diagnosed woman, it's also entertaining and uplifting! The banter between Jen and Darren is fun. Darren is truly inspiring himself as he is a role model for how to be a cancer thriver, as he handles a potentially devastating diagnosis in a uniquely optimistic way!
I can't recommend this podcast highly enough. There are multiple breast cancer podcasts out there, but this is my favorite because of the way they handle the heaviest of subjects with encouragement & hope. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Jen & Darren!
Also, get Jen's book. It's great too. Her facebook group is a place to connect with like minded women who share knowledge & support each other.
Ps: I know I sound super excited. It’s actually been the hardest 2 months of my life. I'm just so grateful for these wonderful resources and will continue to use and share them to help myself and others through this year of treatment and beyond. ❤️
Thank you for sharing the journey
Love the details and the information about trusting your intuition and making decisions for yourself and finding the right doctors that fit with you. I am a cancer survivor. I had high doses of external beam radiation, have long-term side effects, and currently have brain tumors that are being followed. Sharing what you went through what you were thinking what you were feeling and what was involved is so helpful for others who have not gone through the process or who are going through it currently love how you take care of your whole bodies with the importance of nutrition and water, intake and movement, and other things for healing… 💜 🦋
