Informative

This podcast overall has helped the most as I walk thru my cancer journey. I didn’t know about aesthetic flat closure before this podcast and it helped me ask for it when I went to see the surgeon. We are all different in our needs and our journey is personal. This podcast explains the different paths available.

So much valuable information

Wether trying to educate yourself as a patient or care provider the amount of information in this podcast is invaluable. Highly recommend listening.

Valuable resource

I can’t think of a better person to teach us than a breast surgeon/specialist who is also a survivor. What a great resource for those of us whether diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer or metastatic (aka stage IV aka advanced), these are topics we deal with all the time! Great job @Dr.Halaharvi!! ❤️

Living - Cancer free

I’m so grateful to have found this podcast. I am 6 mos cancer free and staying cancer free body and mind is so crucial, yet challenging. I have creeping moments when I think of reoccurrence - it has definitely given me inspiration to strive to better care for myself and live the life I desire. I am excited to listen more.

Thank you, Alison 👏🏻

I really enjoyed listening to Alison share her own breast cancer experience. There are so many parallels to my own story (Diagnosed stage 3 triple positive in 2018 at 31 yo while breastfeeding my 8 month old daughter). The part she shared about learning to have better boundaries after going through it really resonated with me. Also thank you for sharing the most recent research around soy and hot flashes. I take Vitamin E for hot flashes and that helps a lot. Great episode, ladies! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great educational and inspiring podcast

I’m 42 and was recently diagnosed with DCIS. This podcast was so helpful to me to listen to from the start of my diagnosis because it helped me better understand some of the details that doctors sometimes breeze by in busy appointments. I felt much better prepared going into my first surgeon appointment knowing some of my options and good questions to ask. Dr. Halaharvi and Monica are excellent hosts and they have fantastic guests. Keep up the great work!!

37 year old Breast cancer survivor

This podcast has helped me get through this very scary time for me post double mastectomy as a result of DCIS. Learning that the things that I feel are being felt by other survivors.

Just what I needed as newly diagnosed

I learned so much from these podcasts and often go back to listen to certain ones again and again. I really do feel so much more informed and EMPOWERED when meeting with healthcare providers and making small changes in my own lifestyle to reduce the chance of recurrence.

Great content

Great content! Real and reliable. I do wish the sound quality was better (better microphones for guests, mastering with some compression).

So thankful

Thank you so much for launching this podcast. I’m newly diagnosed with breast cancer and I didn’t know any of this. I’m sharing with all of the women in my life, especially my daughters.

Topics

Awesome podcast....I loved hearing more about risk factors. Other topics of interest for me are birth control pills and infertility treatment risk factors as well as more info on Phyllodes tumors! Thank you for doing this! As a recent mastectomy pt and nurse this is so needed!

My heart feels happy!

Everyone has a story. Thank you both for sharing yours with me/us. Monica’s ability to actively listen is a true gift and Dr. Halaharvi’s voice is still comforting to me (as I was also a patient of hers). I can’t wait to continue to follow this podcast!
