Breast Cancer Survivors Discuss Reconstruction Options

An important episode for anyone facing down a mastectomy—or anyone with a loved one who is: Sarah talks with three long-term breast cancer survivors (including her co-host Katie) about their diagnoses, treatment, and breast reconstruction choices. Lots of lovely candor, bravery, lived wisdom, and a few tears. Highlights: -Katie’s analogy of getting on a treatment plan to following a training program; -Cary detailing why remaining flat-chested was the right choice for her; -how fake it ‘til you make it was Kara’s M.O. during treatment; -Kara sharing her reaction to getting her implants removed due to a recall; and, -all three survivors honestly describing what reconstructed breasts can look like. In the intro, Katie tells the tale of running the Chicago Half Marathon last weekend. Here’s the Strong and Support Pretty Package Sarah mentions at the end of the episode.
