The Tamsen Show
The #1 Breast Cancer Doctor on the Truth About Mammograms, Hormones & Dense Breasts
16 Apr 2025
This is the episode to send to every woman you love. Tamsen sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Comen, a leading breast oncologist, Harvard Medical School graduate, and author of the bestseller ‘All in Her Head’, for a myth-busting conversation about breast cancer, early detection, and why advocating for yourself could save your life. Dr. Comen shares how far we've come in treatment and breast reconstruction, the emotional toll of diagnosis, and why a breast cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence today. Tamsen opens up about losing her own mother to breast cancer, and how that grief has shaped her own choices. This episode is packed with information that could change — or save — a life, breaking down exactly when to start getting mammograms, what dense breasts mean (and what to do about them), and the truth about alcohol, hormones, and the rising rates of cancer in younger women. You’ll learn: The latest guidelines for screenings The difference between local and systemic disease What metastatic breast cancer really means The real link between alcohol and breast cancer How and when to check your own breasts Why you should not be apologetic to Doctors Breast cancer myths debunked from deodorant to bras Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool: https://bcrisktool.cancer.gov/ Watch the Full Episode Here: https://www.youtube.com/@TamsenFadalTV Get my new book, How To Menopause, Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life and Feel Even Better Than Before 💖 http://www.howtomenopause.com Follow The Tamsen Show: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetamsenshow/ Follow Tamsen Fadal: Website: https://www.tamsenfadal.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tamsenfadal Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tamsenfadal Today's episode is sponsored by Field of Greens!

This is a really emotional conversation for me. Breast cancer is something that has deeply shaped my life. I lost my mom from breast cancer when she was just 51 years old. I watched her go through six years of treatment, from a double mastectomy to seeing that cancer spread. In 2021, I had a scare of my own. They found something during a mammogram.
I remember just sitting there in that pink gown waiting for the answer. And it was probably the most vulnerable and scared I've ever felt.
So that fear of breast cancer is something that I know so many of you are carrying around.
Our guest is Dr. Elizabeth Komen, a leading oncologist specializing in breast cancer and author of the best-selling book, All in Her Head.
Die Wissenschaft, die wir machen, muss Menschen treffen, wo sie sind. Was fühlen und erleben Frauen in ihren Tag-zu-Tag-Leben? Können wir das hören und bessere Tests designen? Ich habe noch so viele Fragen. Ich möchte mehr über dense Brüste wissen, weil ich sie habe. Dense Brüste sind nicht etwas, was man sehen oder fühlen kann. Es ist etwas, was man von einem Mammogramm erfahren kann.
