  • Great, informative

    Highly recommend, after listening to two episodes. I am working on becoming a two-time survivor of bc, and I can tell you there is a ton of scary, misleading, and not-very-helpful information out there. This podcast has information that’s relevant to people with different types of bc and at different stages of treatment. It’s also current, which is important in this fast-moving field of health care. I have so many questions, but after listening to this podcast, I feel like I now have some good a... more

  • Disappointed

    This women’s story was very moving and relatable. However, it said that it was going to discuss reconstruction. She had the Diep flap, which I’m leaning b toward, but trying to gather as much info as possible. Unless I missed something, it was never mentioned in the interview. So very disappointed!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Living Tissue Implants for Breast Reconstruction
Q: How does the 3D bioprinting fit into creating those vascular networks?
The 3D printing builds internal vascular-like structures inside the patient's own cells, enabling oxygen and nutrient delivery to sustain tissue after implantation, effectively creating a connected, perfusable network.
Living Tissue Implants for Breast Reconstruction
Q: For those of us who are not bioengineers, can you explain how human tissue gets created in the lab?
Tissue engineering combines living cells drawn from the patient or donor, a scaffold or hydrogel to provide attachment and structure, and an environment with the right nutrients, oxygen, and physical cues to guide growth and organization into functional tissue.
It’s Breast Cancer, Now What?
Q: How hard was it to compile all your medical records across different countries, given multiple healthcare systems and languages?
It was challenging to coordinate records when moving between systems; sometimes a simple letter from one oncologist was all that could be shared, and patients often had to advocate to maintain consistent care and treatment pacing, with decisions sometimes deviating from standard protocols due to variations in available tests and treatments.
Sharing Hope and Resources
Q: How did the Rose M. Turknett Cancer Network come to be?
It grew out of Barbara's own treatment journey and her observation that many patients lacked information and resources; she began researching and connecting people to local and national programs, ultimately forming the network to navigate life-saving resources for those in need.
Is Cannabis Why Breast Cancer Rates Are Up in Young People?
Q: What should young people consider when thinking about cannabis use during cancer treatment or otherwise?
Cannabis is widely used for symptom relief, but the data linking it to cancer risk are not definitive; given potential endocrine effects and evolving evidence, individuals should consider long-term health risks and discuss with healthcare providers before using cannabis during treatment or as a preventive measure.
