“Breaking Stigmas Within the Hispanic Community” with Gilma Pereda and Claudia Perez-Favela

In this special episode of the Cervivor Podcast, we sit down with cervical cancer survivors Gilma Pereda and Claudia Perez-Favela to explore their personal journeys within the Hispanic community. They share their experiences with cultural stigmas, misconceptions about cervical cancer, and the impact of their cultural heritage on their healing processes. Gilma and Claudia discuss the challenges of navigating cervical cancer care with language barriers, and the need for better representation and support within Hispanic communities. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, their stories offer invaluable insights and encouragement for those facing similar journeys or supporting loved ones through cervical cancer.
