In this special episode for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, host Dr. Lisa Beasley turns the microphone on herself to share her own breast cancer journey. She describes finding a lump in December 2019, speaking up when pandemic delays pushed back her mammogram, and going through a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, complications, and multiple reconstructive surgeries. She also reflects on the nurses and care team who supported her, including former students, and explains why awareness can’t be limited to October. Her message to listeners is to listen to your body, follow up on anything that doesn’t seem right, and advocate for yourself in the health care system.
