She checks herself regularly, hoping it stays gone.Emotionally drained, she cuts all her hair off herself and thinks through her reasoning for wanting a double mastectomy when the time comes.After her mom's death and some family issues, Dr. Tita Gray found a lump in her breast, leading to a biopsy that confirmed breast cancer. In season 3 of Breast Cancer Stories, Tita shares her journey through a triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis, aggressive chemo and immunotherapy, and choosing to go flat after a double mastectomy.Consider becoming a paid subscriber to our newsletter (it’s $4/month)Reach out to [email protected] if you want talk about sponsoring this season, which will include ALL episodes (this is called run-of-show in podcast ads lingo)Make a one time donation in any amount via PayPal This podcast is about what happens when you have breast cancer, told in real time.Host and Executive Producer: Eva SheieCo-Host: Kristen VenglerEditor and Audio Engineer: Daniel CroeserTheme Music: Them Highs and Lows, Bird of FigmentProduction Assistant: Mary Ellen ClarksonCover Art Designer: Shawn HiattAssistant Producer: Hannah BurkhartBreast Cancer Stories is a production of The Axis.PROUDLY MADE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS
