Pinktober is here! Do you love it or do you hate it? What is is it all about?
Karlee and Angie discuss their thoughts on breast cancer awareness month and gear up for Lung Cancer Awareness month in November. They break it down by talking about funding, education support and how effective these months can or can't be...If it saves 1 life the real work is being done!
Pink is everywhere, but why is Secondary Breast Cancer underfunded? What does secondaries/mets/metastatic (MBC) mean? Angie and Karlee are not doctors, but they are in the know to some extent. The discussion then leads to advocating as a patient and that in itself is a separate podcast. The ladies discuss Angie being in hospital now when COVID19 is on the rise. What is the difference? Is the treatment not as good? Is it better?
The conversation ends with keeping things as normal as possible in treatment and beyond. Halloween is coming up and how fair is it on the kids to do something differently? The ladies discuss control and what we can and can not control. You are your own advocate. You matter. We all do. Remember that!
