Today marks the 41st anniversary of a month created to bring awareness and save lives for millions of women around the world. October 1st is the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness month and to mark that day 13 years ago, Amy had a mammogram on live national television to remind women to make their own potentially life saving appointments. It was that scan that ultimately led to a stage 2 breast cancer at the age of 40. Today, the American Cancer Society wants women and men to know their risks, know the warning signs and help provide the information and resources available. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, but the earlier its detected, the better chance of surviving it.

For the best part of a decade, Cassandra Thorburn has been publicly known as one thing: Karl Stefanovic's ex-wife. The headline that ran when their 21-year marriage ended in 2016, and pretty much every headline since. But Cassandra was a journalist and a television producer long before any of that, working across Australia, New Zealand and the US, and in the years since her divorce she's quietly rebuilt herself over and over: a season of Dancing with the Stars, a children's book, a podcast on surviving separation, a stint as a dental nurse, aged care work through the pandemic. She is, by her own account, someone who has never really had a plan. She's just kept saying yes to the next thing. Then, at the start of this year, she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer, one so uncommon that fewer than two per cent of Australian cases look like hers. This time, she decided, she'd be the one telling the story. She's spent the months since documenting her treatment in unflinching detail on her social media platform and working with the Breast Cancer Network Australia to make sure other women don't miss what she nearly did.

What happens when the woman who has spent years treating breast cancer suddenly finds herself sitting on the other side of the diagnosis?In this deeply personal episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh sits down with Dr. Catherine “Sue” Hwang, a board-certified radiation oncologist specializing in breast cancer, who knows the cancer journey from both sides—as a physician and as a patient.After more than 15 years of caring for women with breast cancer, Dr. Hwang never expected to become a breast cancer patient herself. A routine mammogram revealed calcifications, followed by the discovery of multiple masses and an abnormal lymph node. Suddenly, the physician who understood the treatments, side effects, complications, and statistics was forced to experience the fear and uncertainty of being the patient herself.Dr. Hwang shares what she learned about the patient experience, breast cancer treatment, motherhood, vulnerability, hyper-independence, and accepting support. She talks honestly about how her community rallied around her, from bringing meals to helping with her children, and how the experience completely changed the way she thinks about community and caring for others.But one of the most important lessons came after treatment.Dr. Hwang explains why the end of chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation doesn't necessarily mean the end of the cancer journey. For many women, survivorship can bring an unexpected emotional and physical transition—a period where treatment ends, medical appointments become less frequent, everyone assumes you're okay, and you're left wondering, “What now?”That realization inspired Dr. Hwang to advocate for better breast cancer survivorship care and to help patients understand that struggling after treatment is not a failure. It's part of the journey.She also shares practical advice about mammograms, breast exams, knowing your body, recognizing potential breast cancer symptoms, and becoming your own healthcare advocate. Her message is especially powerful for women who have ever been told they're “too young” to worry about breast cancer or who feel uncomfortable pushing for additional answers.Dr. Hwang's story ultimately comes back to one powerful idea: you don't have to know how you're going to get through the entire journey. Sometimes, you simply have to take the next step.And then the next one.And eventually, you may look back and realize just how much you were capable of all along.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat it's really like when a breast cancer oncologist becomes a cancer patient herselfWhy the period after breast cancer treatment can sometimes be harder than treatment itselfHow to navigate the emotional and physical challenges of cancer survivorship and finding a new normalWhy accepting help and leaning on your community and support system can be a powerful form of strengthHow cancer can change your perspective on motherhood, identity, work, and what truly mattersThe importance of mammograms, knowing your body, and paying attention to changes or symptomsWhy women need to become their own healthcare advocates and seek answers when something doesn't feel rightHow to cope with the fear and uncertainty surrounding cancer recurrenceHow Dr. Hwang's experience as a patient changed the way she now cares for and communicates with breast cancer patientsWhy you don't have to know how you'll get through the entire journey—you can simply take the next step, one day at a timeIf you or someone you know needs support on their cancer journey, visit: http://adventhealthcancerinstitute.com This episode is sponsored by AdventHealth for Women.

Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/Many women first learn that they have dense breast tissue after receiving a mammogram report. But what does breast density actually mean, and could it change the type of screening a woman should discuss with her healthcare provider? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, ultrasound sonographer and SonoBreasts founder Jasmine Khorsandi discusses dense breasts, automated whole-breast ultrasound, early detection, and the gaps she believes exist in conventional breast screening.Jasmine explains how SonoCiné automated whole-breast ultrasound captures thousands of images that are compiled into a moving view for review. She compares the experience with handheld ultrasound and mammography and explains why she advocates greater awareness of supplemental imaging, particularly for women with dense breast tissue.Dr. Taz shares her own experience of finding a lump and moving through a mammogram, ultrasound, MRI, and biopsy over six months before learning that the finding was benign. She and Jasmine discuss the anxiety, confusion, and logistical challenges women can encounter while navigating breast imaging.Jasmine also shares stories from her practice, including a young woman whose persistent breast pain led her to seek additional evaluation. She explains why women should learn what is normal for their breasts, pay attention to physical changes, understand their personal risk factors, and ask more informed questions about screening.The conversation expands beyond imaging to explore stress, burnout, emotional health, feminine energy, intuition, and community. Jasmine describes the physical burnout that forced her to change how she operated her business, accept help, and make more room for rest, spiritual practices, and connection.In this episode:What dense breast tissue meansWhy breast density can affect mammogram sensitivityHow women can learn their breast-density categoryThe difference between mammography and breast ultrasoundHandheld versus automated whole-breast ultrasoundHow SonoCiné breast imaging worksWhen supplemental breast imaging may be consideredDr. Taz's experience with mammography, MRI, and biopsyWhy persistent breast pain or physical changes deserve attentionJasmine's observations from working with younger womenHow to advocate for yourself during the screening processWhat to look for during breast self-awareness checksHow to choose healthcare practitioners you trustThe possible connections between stress and physical healthWhy women become disconnected from their bodiesJasmine's experience with severe burnoutMoving from perfectionism and fear toward delegation and supportThe importance of community, rest, and emotional expressionHow women can begin reconnecting with their intuitionAbout Jasmine Khorsandi:Jasmine Khorsandi is an ultrasound sonographer and the founder of SonoBreasts, an ultrasound clinic in Los Angeles, California.She has worked in women's health and ultrasound imaging for more than a decade and specializes in SonoCiné automated whole-breast ultrasound.

For many survivors, finishing treatment is a major milestone, but it does not always mean life immediately goes back to “normal.”In this episode of Baptist HealthTalk, host Johanna Gomez, a breast cancer survivor, speaks with breast cancer survivors Andrea de Armas and Nancy Antoine, both treated at Baptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute, talk about diagnosis, treatment, survivorship and the emotional journey that continues long after active care ends.They discuss:• Being diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age • The importance of self advocacy and getting checked • The physical and emotional toll of chemotherapy • Fear of recurrence and scan anxiety • Fertility, hormone therapy and long term care • Body image, reconstruction and restorative tattooing • The importance of mental health and survivor community • How survivors can move from surviving to thrivingBreast cancer survivorship can bring new challenges, but it can also bring strength, purpose, community and hope.For more health and wellness information, visit BaptistHealth.net/News.Breast Cancer Survivor & Host:Johanna GomezAward-Winning Host & JournalistGuests:Andrea de ArmasBreast Cancer Survivor Nancy AntoineBreast Cancer SurvivorIf you found this episode helpful, you may also like:Young Women and Breast CancerDiagnosed with Breast Cancer: What's Next?Breast Cancer Survivorship: 10-Years Later
Order My New Book, The Tired Dad In this episode of The Tired Dad & Tired Mom Podcast, we reflected on what life has looked like after the release of my book and the emotions that come with putting something so personal into the world. We talked about parenting, public speaking, and how becoming parents changes the way we see time, grief, success, and even ourselves. We had a deep conversation about the fleeting nature of childhood, the sacrifices that come with raising a family, and why connection and presence matter more than material things. We also talked honestly about relationships, expectations, balancing ambition with family life, and trying to find genuine human connection in a world that can often feel transactional. Later in the episode, we shifted into a conversation about health, breast cancer awareness, misinformation online, lifestyle choices, supplements, and the importance of critical thinking when it comes to medical advice. We wrapped up by discussing reading, lifelong learning, emotional intelligence, and the values we hope to pass down to our children. As always, thank you for listening and continuing to grow with us.

In this week's episode of the We Didn't Plan For This series, Nora and Adrienne explore how sometimes life doesn't slowly change — sometimes it changes in an instant.Nora has done everything right. She took care of her health, exercised, ate well, and paid attention to her body — and she still got breast cancer.She shares the reality of diagnosis, biopsies, MRIs, and preparing for a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, along with the uncomfortable and often humiliating parts of female healthcare, and how breath work became the one thing she could control when everything else felt uncertain.From her time in the Air Force and deployment during Iraqi Freedom to the impact of burn pits, Nora reflects on how strength changes over time and what resilience actually means. She shares how breath, mindset, and her community are helping her get through one of the hardest seasons of her life.This episode is about awareness, about using hard things as fuel to help others, and about learning to control the things you can control — especially your breath.If you're listening to this in your car, take a moment before you get out, pause, and take one breath.Send us Fan MailWanna be on the show?

Did you know that consuming alcohol, even casually, is classified in the same cancer risk category as tobacco and asbestos? Today's conversation is all about the alcohol-cancer connection, the sober curious movement, and how we can make informed choices about our health.On Salad With a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck welcomes Cecily Mak, a former Silicon Valley attorney, breast cancer survivor, and author of Undimmed, for a conversation that is equal parts eye-opening science and deeply personal storytelling. Cecily shares how losing her mother to esophageal cancer and later facing her own breast cancer diagnosis led her to uncover this critical, under-discussed connection between alcohol and cancer risk, and what all of us can do with that information today.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ The five distinct biological mechanisms that directly link alcohol and cancer.✅ How the alcohol industry has followed a playbook similar to Big Tobacco, suppressing updates to alcohol labeling laws and lobbying against stronger public health disclosures for decades.✅ What the sober curious movement looks like beyond the AA model and how alcohol moderation rather than full abstinence can still make a meaningful, measurable difference in your long-term health.✅ How Cecily Mak's Eight Awarenesses framework helps individuals break free from unwanted habits by building agency, self-compassion, and intentional choice rather than relying on willpower or labels.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 The truth about alcohol and cancer risk, why metabolizing alcohol releases a DNA-damaging carcinogen04:34 Cecily's mother's cancer diagnosis and how years of alcohol dependency shaped her path forward06:31 A 30-day experiment of an alcohol-free lifestyle reveals transformative benefits on sleep and relationships08:29 Cecily's breast cancer diagnosis and the discovery linking her drinking history to breast cancer risk factors12:40 Removing the dimmers and dependence on alcohol, and Cecily shares her journey of writing Undimmed: The Eight Awarenesses for Freedom from Unwanted Habits17:55 Alcohol classified as a group one carcinogen and how it ranks alongside tobacco, asbestos, and UV radiation20:14 A discussion on the fight to update the outdated alcohol labeling laws25:54 The five biological pathways: acetaldehyde, elevated estrogen, oxidative stress, impaired DNA repair, and increased permeability32:55 Choosing clarity and alcohol-free living as the foundation for personal agency40:26 Releasing judgment and cultivating self-compassion as tools for sustainable habit change45:39 Cecily's one most important takeaway: learning to listen to ourselves as the most powerful tool in breaking unwanted habitsKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Although initial clinical trials of tamoxifen as a treatment of breast cancer were positive, Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) did not believe this market would be commercially viable. The company had hoped for a contraceptive pill – tamoxifen didn't work for that – not a cancer treatment. In 1972 the higher-ups at ICI decided to cancel the research.But Dora Richardson, the chemist who had originally synthesized the compound, and her boss, Arthur Walpole, were convinced they were on to something important, something that could save lives. They continued the research in secret. Tamoxifen was eventually launched in 1973 and went on to become a global success, saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Dora Richardson's role in its development, however, was overshadowed by her a male colleague and all but forgotten.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

Being cancer-free doesn't always mean we've healed. After 14 years of managing cancer, I've learned that healing is about more than scans and lab results—it's about reclaiming joy, peace, and meaning in the present moment. In this episode, I share stories of women who stopped waiting for permission to live and how research shows that hope, gratitude, and laughter can support real healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

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.

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...

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!
