In the early 1960s, Dr. Dora Richardson synthesized a chemical compound that became one of the most important drugs to treat breast cancer: tamoxifen. Although her name is on the original patent, her contributions have been lost to history.In the first episode of this two-part podcast, Katie Couric introduces us to Dora's story, and we show how Lost Women of Science producer Marcy Thompson tracked down Dora's firsthand account of the history of the drug's development. This document, lost for decades, tells the story of how the compound was made and how Imperial Chemical Industries, where Richardson worked, almost terminated the project because the company was hoping to produce a contraceptive, not a cancer therapy.This Best Of episode first aired in October 2024 to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness month. It is now also available in a Spanish adaptation, narrated by Laura Gómez. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

This quick, hope-filled Saddle Up distills my full conversation with my surgeon, Dr. Elizabeth O'Leary, into practical steps you can take this week. Early detection saves lives. Courage + a simple plan = peace.What You'll LearnWhy early detection changes everythingThe 25-year-old high-risk assessment every woman should know aboutWhat to do if you have dense breasts (better imaging options)Lifestyle levers that actually move the needle (movement, stress, alcohol, steady nutrition)A simple prayer + mindset script to calm anxietyTime-Stamped Guide (approx.)00:00 — Why this episode matters (hope > fear)01:00 — Appointments to make + when to start02:00 — High-risk assessment at 25: what it is, who needs it03:30 — Dense breasts: mammogram + MRI/ultrasound strategy04:30 — Lifestyle that helps: movement, steady nutrition, stress, alcohol06:00 — Mindset + prayer to carry you throughThe Saddle Up Checklist (pick 1–3)Book your mammogram (start at 40; sooner if high-risk).Forward this to a 25–35 year-old you love and nudge a high-risk assessment.Dense breasts? Message your provider about alternating mammogram + MRI based on your risk.Choose one lever: add a 20-minute walk, swap one drink for sparkling water, or add protein + plants to lunch.Write & carry this prayer:“God, I'm placing my health in Your hands. Lead me to the right steps and the right people. Give me courage to act and peace to rest.”Key TakeawaysEarly > easy. Catch it early and treatment is often simpler—and curative.No family history? Still go. ~80% of women diagnosed have no family history.Personalize it. Dense breasts and/or higher risk may mean different imaging.Small habits help. Aim toward ~300 min/week of movement, include strength, keep nutrition steady, reduce alcohol, and prioritize sleep + stress care.Peace is possible. You don't need perfect—just the next faithful step.Favorite Quote“Courage isn't the absence of fear; it's acting with peace anyway.”About Our GuestDr. Elizabeth O'Leary is a breast surgeon and founder of Lady Slipper Breast Center with locations in St. Paul, St. Louis Park, and Edina. Trained at the University of Minnesota and Johns Hopkins, she's passionate about personalized, whole-person care—before, during, and after treatment.https://www.elizabetholearymd.comConnect with Lesalesakoski.comPodcast: Doing Life...

Breast Cancer Awareness for You AND Your Dog Host Laura Reeves is joined by Dr. Marty Greer for an important reminder about the risks of breast cancer in our dogs and how to prevent and treat it. October is Breast cancer awareness month: How does hearing the words “she's got breast cancer” affect you? Bring tears to your eyes? Start a knot forming in the pit of your stomach? Make you want a second opinion? Create anger at being cheated? The diagnosis: We all know and have been affected by someone with this dreaded diagnosis. Maybe it is you, maybe someone you love: a wife, sister, daughter, girlfriend, mother, another family member or co-worker. We know it is a life-changing experience - pain, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, fear of a shortened life expectancy. For many women, they are fortunate that advances in early detection and medical therapy has made breast cancer a story of survival instead of a death sentence. But this is not the path for all those diagnosed. Some are diagnosed too late or with a very aggressive form of the disease. Some cannot afford the medical care that allow for an improved prognosis. Some deny themselves the care they need. But for those who are blessed with great diagnostics and treatment that allow for stories of happy endings, they owe their successes to the incredible research that led to this improved prognosis and outcome. Part of the success story is thanks to the similarity of breast cancer in women with mammary tumors our dogs also are affected by. The dog has served as a research model for the disease in humans. Many advancements in human medicine are directly linked to the information discovered by research on the disease in dogs. Sadly, our dogs have not benefitted as much as humans have. In human medicine, there are two keys to survival: early detection and successful treatment. Self-breast examinations and mammograms have been credited with changing survival by early detection. Many organizations have put their resources into educating us about the importance of these two important detection tools. New diagnostic tools are on the horizon for humans. Of course, mammograms are not available for our dogs. They rely on us to detect their lumps and to seek appropriate therapy for treatment. Treatment: But, treatment is a very different story. Despite the similarities between this human and canine disorder, there are no widely accepted successful chemotherapy and radiation therapy programs available for dogs. Surgical excision is the only treatment option widely available at this time for dogs. Prevention: In contrast to humans, mammary tumors in dogs are nearly 100% preventable if owners would take one simple step – to spay their female dogs prior to age 2 or younger. We all know that spaying (ovariohysterectomy or ovariectomy) prevents heat cycles and pregnancy. What we have not always done as well as we should have as veterinarians is to educate our clients that spaying under the age of 2 prevents most mammary tumors. Spaying before the first heat cycle protects nearly all dogs. In the veterinary profession, we have also not educated our clients of the risks of spaying our female dogs. While it is true that spaying prevents pregnancy, mammary tumors, and pyometras, there is research that supports increased risk of other disorders thought to be related to removing the hormonal influence of the ovaries. There is an increased risk of urinary incontinence and associated urinary tract infections, osteosarcoma, lymphosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, mast cell tumors, and hypothyroidism. Each of these disorders has an associated health risk ranging from mild to severe affecting quality and length of life, as well as financial cost to the owner. Even when dogs with mammary tumors were included in the study, they still achieved greater longevity than their spayed female...

This episode is sponsored by Welbeck - providing beyond better healthcare October, as I'm sure many of you are already aware, is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's the most common cancer in women worldwide. About 1 in 7 women born after 1960 will be diagnosed in their lifetime.

So, it's worth the five minute squish!  Ladies and gents  check your boobs. And if you're not sure how, we have an expert to walk you through that later in the episode.

October is awareness month for Breast Cancer and ADHD. Ok yes the blush pink Sunday Basket® color is back in stock (while supplies last). BUT, I want to suggest that you use this Sunday Basket® as a way to remind you of people in your community that have lost someone to breast cancer, are facing a breast cancer diagnosis, are supporting someone in their breast cancer journey, or who have survived breast cancer! It is so important that we continue to take care of ourselves too. Let this Sunday Basket® remind you of your health goals and routine doctor visits to prevent or get early detection of disease. I also want to inspire community and support for the breast cancer awareness community. Be aware of someone who could use your support. And speaking of support, the Sunday Basket® supports those who have ADHD. ADHD is so cool because of the ability to think differently but it really becomes a struggle in organization. We have all these modifications for kids in school but where is it in the real world once they've graduated? As someone with ADHD, you learn “work arounds” so survive school due to compromised executive functioning skills. And so then in the real world, let the Sunday Basket® be your work around to actually succeeding in organization. In my book, written in 2016, “How ADHD affects Home Organization”, I explain exactly how to do this. And that is why from 10/1-10/5 this book is completely free on Kindle. And if you have enjoyed and learned from this book before will you do me a small favor? Would you re-download it and leave a review? Pretty please? I love helping and supporting my community!  EPISODE RESOURCES: Sunday Basket® How ADHD affects Home Organization Kindle: How ADHD affects Home Organization Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter Did you enjoy this episode?

Before the Pink Ribbon, talking about breast cancer was taboo. In this episode, we uncover the shocking and inspiring history of breast cancer awareness and the three women who defied a dismissive medical establishment to save millions of lives. Author Judith L. Pearson joins us to discuss her groundbreaking book, "Radical Sisters," revealing how Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder launched a revolution from their hospital beds and boardrooms. How did a child star, a determined journalist, and a cosmetics mogul tear down the wall of silence and change medicine forever?This deep dive into the evolution of breast cancer advocacy explores the dark ages of treatment and the courageous fight for patient rights. Judith L. Pearson details the brutal radical mastectomy history, specifically the disfiguring Halstead radical mastectomy, a procedure that persisted long after it was proven ineffective. We revisit the pivotal moment of Shirley Temple Black breast cancer advocacy when the beloved star held an unprecedented 1972 press conference from her hospital room, urging women not to be afraid and to perform self-exams. The episode then follows the tenacious activist Rose Kushner and the one-step procedure, a barbaric practice where women went in for a biopsy and woke up with their breasts removed without their consent. Kushner's relentless research and in-your-face advocacy, including a daring appearance on the Donahue show, forced the medical community to confront its paternalism. Finally, we explore the origins of the Evelyn Lauder Pink Ribbon Campaign and her "department store" concept for cancer care at Memorial Sloan Kettering, which was born from the frustrating and fragmented patient experience. This interview sheds light on the complete history of breast cancer awareness, from comparing the fight for funding to the AIDS movement to the discovery of the BRCA gene mutation, revealing a story of courage, tragedy, and ultimate triumph.About Our Guest:Judith L. Pearson is an author and historical biographer specializing in uncovering the stories of overlooked heroes. In her book, "Radical Sisters: The Women Who Pushed for and Paved the Way to Breast Cancer Awareness," she reveals the untold story of the three women whose personal battles and public advocacy transformed medicine and created the modern breast cancer movement.Timestamps / Chapters:(00:00) The Three Women Who Transformed Breast Cancer Awareness(03:31) Shirley Temple Black's Groundbreaking 1972 Announcement(06:05) Rose Kushner's Daring Appearance on the Donahue Show(09:07) The Near-Death Experiences That Shaped the "Radical Sisters"(14:38) How Shirley Temple's Press Conference Changed Everything(19:22) The Brutal History of the Halstead Radical Mastectomy(24:19) Rose Kushner's Fight Against the "One-Step Procedure"(29:56) Evelyn Lauder's Philanthropic Vision Before and After Her Diagnosis(32:28) Learning from the AIDS Movement to Fight for Funding(36:04) Evelyn Lauder's "Department Store" Concept for Cancer Care(40:10) The True Origin Story of the Pink Ribbon Campaign

When Marilyn B. Fuller-Smith was diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer, her doctor’s insistence on a same-day mammogram saved her life. “From that moment until today, everything about my breast cancer journey has been a blessing, just an absolute blessing,” Fuller-Smith said. “I am the model of finding breast cancer early. Detection is the most important part. Find it early, don’t go without those mammograms.” Her diagnosis not only changed her life but also connected her to fellow survivors Jayne Blake and Donna Slusser. Together, the women have walked thousands of miles in breast cancer awareness events and built a sisterhood rooted in resilience, joy, and advocacy.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stress isn't just “in your head”—it changes your biology. It depletes nutrients like magnesium, vitamin C, B vitamins, and zinc, and keeps your body in survival mode. Supplements can help, but they won't heal you if the root cause—stress—remains. In this episode, I talk about why stress management is as critical as nutrition, how CBT and EMDR support your healing, and why lab testing matters before wasting money on supplements.   References from this episode: Juster R-P, McEwen BS, Lupien SJ.

DISCLAIMER: This episode contains emotionally sensitive content around breast cancer. Listener discretion advised. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime—but behind every statistic is a deeply personal story. In this raw and powerful episode of The Empower Hour, we're doing things a little differently. Instead of the usual intro, we're handing the mic directly to our guests: Amy Brace and Jacquelyn Vranicar, co-creators of the upcoming One in Eight documentary and founder of VraniCURE.org. This episode explores the inspiration behind a project that's more than just a film—it's a movement of healing, honoring, and amplifying the voices of previvors, survivors, and thrivers. From the heartbreak and hope in each story to the bold vision of creating a safe space for storytelling, Amy and Jackie take us behind the scenes of a taping event unlike any other. We talk about: The emotional impact of the documentary Why pampering and storytelling go hand-in-hand Common misconceptions about breast cancer and metastatic diagnoses The difference between “previvor,” “survivor,” and “thriver”—and why language matters What Amy and Jackie hope this film changes for future generations

If you've ever found yourself hurt, frustrated, or emotionally drained because someone didn't do what you thought they should—especially after you asked—this episode is for you. In this conversation, I'm talking about a powerful concept I use with my clients all the time, called “the manual.” It's the invisible rulebook we write in our minds about how other people should behave and what their actions (or lack of action) mean about us. But here's the catch: no one else has a copy of that manual. And when people don't follow our unspoken rules, we end up making it mean something painful—like “they don't care,” or “they don't love me.” That pain builds up, and it affects our emotional and physical health, especially when we're healing after something as life-changing as breast cancer. So in this episode, I'm sharing how to spot when you're living by a manual, how to burn it, and how to replace it with something far more powerful: clear, loving boundaries that support your peace and your healing.

Topics Covered: The real difference between simple and complex carbohydrates How to eat carbs while maintaining stable blood sugar Nutrient density and bioavailability of animal vs. plant foods What qualifies as a clean animal food and why it matters The “health halo effect” of organic and plant-based labels Tips for tuning out food fear and tuning into what works for your body   Resources & References: Work with Laura Study: Glycemic load and cancer risk – Nutrition Journal Study: Dietary fiber intake and breast cancer – Annals of Oncology Study: Macronutrient combinations and glycemic response – Diabetes Care Study: Organic labeling and perception – Food Quality and Preference Study: Health halo of plant-based labels – Appetite (2018) Study: Plant-based health halo and risk perception – Appetite (2019)   Loved this episode?

This episode is such an exciting one, and honestly, it might just change the way you think about what you eat—especially if you've ever felt confused or overwhelmed about what's “safe” or supportive after a breast cancer diagnosis. I'm talking about two powerful cellular processes that are important for us to understand: autophagy and angiogenesis. These are what researchers call hallmarks of cancer—but they're also incredible opportunities for healing. And the best part? You don't need to fast for days or eat perfectly to support them. You just need to make some smart, loving food and lifestyle choices—and I'll walk you through what those are. We'll talk about how to support your body's natural clean-up system (autophagy) and how to regulate the way your body builds blood vessels (angiogenesis)—all through everyday foods, simple habits, and ditching the all-or-nothing mindset.
