BRCA-ING IT DOWN WITH MY COUSINS 👯♀️
Episode description
Kicking off 2023 by speaking to my cooler, older cousins, Melanie & Michelle, who I spent my entire life idolizing. 🤩 We discuss how their breast cancer & subsequent BRCA diagnosis in their 30s inspired me to become a breast radiologist, & the obstacles they faced as young women battling breast cancer 15+ years ago. We discuss medical gaslighting, their advice to young women, the Angelina Jolie effect, & what it’s like going through genetic testing as a parent.
The episode wouldn’t be complete without sharing a spot-on horoscope reading from our beloved Mema Leatrice from over 30 years ago. ✨
We hope you love this conversation as much as we do! 👯♀️
