  • 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

  • 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!! ❤️
