In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re dropping a powerful new episode of the Humanitarian Heartbeat Podcast:
EPISODE 57 | Too Young? Beyond the Mammogram
Featuring Jeannine Canino Bieda
At just 32, Jeannine discovered she had dense breast tissue (DBT)—a fact that made mammograms alone unreliable. She fought for additional screenings, even when told she was “too young.”
At 36, that persistence saved her life. An ultrasound—not a mammogram—revealed her breast cancer. No family history. Years of “clear” mammograms.
Now, Jeannine is a fearless advocate, sharing the truth: Mammograms save lives, BUT they don’t catch everything—especially in dense breast tissue. An ultrasound saved HER life! Everyone deserves the RIGHT information to make informed choices. Cancer doesn’t discriminate by age, background, or history.
Jeannine is on a mission to ensure women and men know the facts—so they can take action for their own health.

Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
Because breast cancer doesn’t just happen in October. Let’s move beyond awareness into ACTION—with the right information.
