    Breast cancer is not a “gender” cancer. Biological men have breast, and can also get breast cancer. The host is too gratuitous at times. Facts, over fiction, please.

  • 18 year survivor and thriver

    This podcast has outstanding content and interviewees. It covers so many aspects of the breast cancer experience. I am an 18 year survivor living with metastatic breast cancer. I am alive today thanks to Komen research. This has been a great source of information and community.

Episode 382: Faith. Survival. Purpose. The Journey from Survivor to Advocate
Q: Yvonne, let's talk about your story. You found a lump yourself. Can you take us back to that moment? What went through your mind?
She describes noticing a lump under her arm during a self-breast exam, recognizing something different, and seeking immediate medical evaluation. After tests, she received a breast cancer diagnosis and leaned on family and church communities for support through treatment.
Episode 380: Komen’s Leading Efforts to Make Breast Imaging Accessible
Q: And so you work to champion legislation every day to ensure that people have access to high quality care. Can you explain Komen's approach to addressing barriers that exist and how advocacy is important to make care accessible and affordable for people affected by breast cancer?
We create priority-focused work every two years, targeting accelerated research and affordable, high-quality care for all, with a focus on removing out-of-pocket costs for diagnostic and supplemental imaging so high-risk populations can access necessary imaging without financial barriers.
Episode 377: Support, Not Substitution: AI’s Role in Breast Cancer Care
Q: What about accessibility and global reach?

Ask Ellen incorporates an authentic, human-centered voice and emotional nuance derived from the creator's story, ensuring responses reflect lived experience and are aligned with medical guidance while maintaining empathy.

Q: What is the AI breast companion and what can it do?
It's a non-medical, empathetic digital companion built from a patient's lived experience, designed to provide supportive coaching, share resources, and encourage users to involve their care team, rather than diagnose or replace clinicians.
