Breast Cancer at 32: Tanner Roe’s Story of Strength

In this episode, I sit down with Tanner Roe, a 32-year-old flight attendant from San Diego whose life changed the moment she heard the words “you have breast cancer.” Diagnosed with Stage 1B breast cancer and currently in active treatment, Tanner has become a source of strength and honesty in a season most of us can’t imagine.Through humor, vulnerability, and a willingness to share the parts people don’t always talk about, Tanner has found her own way to navigate the fear, the heaviness, and the uncertainty, while giving herself full permission to feel every hard moment along the way.
