If cancer has touched your life in some way, whether it be your own personal battle, or that of a loved one, you know that the road of cancer is a long one. If you are in this club that none of us asked to join, you probably know that people love to call fighting cancer a ‘journey’...but as a member of this club, you also know the real truth...that this so-called ‘journey’ of cancer really doesn’t end. Our lives are forever changed in many ways...some negative, but dare I say it, some positive, too. Join me as we talk about REAL topics around living with a cancer diagnosis as a young adult.

Living with a BRCA Mutation, Navigating a Diagnosis during Pregnancy, and Finding New Purpose After Cancer
“What I once saw as human frailty, I now simply saw as me: a woman who had been through a lot and was tentatively rejoining the land of the living. A messenger was sent to teach me I needn’t be embarrassed by the messiness of survival. And it didn’t make me weak to expose my vulnerability to the world. It made me human.” - Jenny Leon
Jenny Leon is our guest on the podcast today! She is a young mom of two, a breast cancer survivor, and learned of her BRCA mutation after being diagnosed at the age of 33. Today you will hear her speak about her experience with cancer, how navigating a genetic mutation has shaped her experience, and about how she has used writing to share her story and help others who are faced with a similar path.
