  • Good information but not all

    I really was excited about this podcast until I heard them recommending the HPV vaccine for everyone over 21. Do your research before you unanimously do something you hear on a podcast or by your traditional health practitioner that is just going with the flow of what is popular today

    I am 42 years old and was just diagnosed with breast cancer. I found this podcast and I am also a doctor, but in dentistry.

  • Informative

    This podcast overall has helped the most as I walk thru my cancer journey. I didn’t know about aesthetic flat closure before this podcast and it helped me ask for it when I went to see the surgeon. We are all different in our needs and our journey is personal. This podcast explains the different paths available.

  • Valuable resource

    I can’t think of a better person to teach us than a breast surgeon/specialist who is also a survivor. What a great resource for those of us whether diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer or metastatic (aka stage IV aka advanced), these are topics we deal with all the time! Great job @Dr.Halaharvi!! ❤️

Metastatic Breast Cancer: What It Means & What It Doesn’t- Part 3
Q: So, Dr. Dewani, from your perspective, what are the biggest advances we've seen in Metastatic Breast Cancer over the last decade?
Advances include genomic testing to tailor therapy, better receptor-status assessment at metastatic sites, targeted therapies like CDK4-6 inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, and integration with immunotherapy, all contributing to improved survival and quality of life. Clinical trials remain pivotal, offering access to next-generation treatments and informing standard care.
Metastatic Breast Cancer: What It Means & What It Doesn’t- Part 1
Q: Is there a fixed end date to treatment when someone has metastatic disease?
No. Unlike early-stage breast cancer, there isn't a predefined end date for metastatic disease. Treatment is often ongoing or maintenance-based to control the disease, aiming to balance quality and quantity of life rather than pursuing a definitive cure.
Metastatic Breast Cancer: What It Means & What It Doesn’t- Part 1
Q: Dr. Dewani, what exactly is metastatic breast cancer, and how does it differ from early-stage disease?
Metastatic breast cancer, or stage 4, means the cancer has spread beyond the breast to other organs such as the bones, liver, lungs, or brain. The approach differs because the disease burden and biology guide ongoing systemic treatment rather than aiming for a one-time cure; many patients live for years with ongoing management.

Q: How does one get involved in this program as a survivor?
Individuals can participate in the PAVING program through the Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, and it is now available online through their nonprofit.
Paving Your Path Through Breast Cancer And Beyond: A Practical Guide to Treatment and Beyond
Q: What inspired you to write this book or co-author this book?
The inspiration came from the need for a workbook that specifically addresses breast cancer survivorship within a 12-week lifestyle medicine program.
