Bad Right Breast is the podcast that will talk through the dirty truths about personal experiences of people living with the horrible disease that is cancer. Not just that of people diagnosed with breast cancer, but other cancers. And not just people diagnosed with cancers, but their caregivers, their family members, even their children. Please join us as we talk through issues that you don’t necessarily hear on the news or in the doctor’s office, but are things that anyone who has dealt with cancer lives through each and every day – and by that, I mean, every single person you know and don’t know. Because cancer, well it knows no prejudice and affects everyone. Please join us for Bad Right Breast.

    Before Allyson found her cancer, she was actually getting regular mammograms for four years. However her cancer was found because she felt a pain in her breast, right where her underwire bra fit, and knew that it wasn’t right. Her doctor swore it was nothing, most likely due to the fact that she was getting those regular mammograms. But she was diagnosed with DCIS. She was that RARE form of DCIS. While DCIS is now found far more frequently because of mammograms, hers wasn’t found by mammogram, but found by that pain. Correction – it was found by her listening to her body, and trusting her instincts. Check out Allyson's article on Medium .
