E24. From Doctor to Patient: A Rheumatologist’s Journey Through Stage 4 Breast Cancer

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Isabelle Amigues, a rheumatologist whose world was turned upside down after being diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. Instead of just fighting the illness, she asked herself a profound question: “What is this here to teach me?” Dr. Amigues shares how her experience transformed the way she views illness—not only for herself but for her patients. We discuss the mind-body connection in chronic disease, the emotional and psychological aspects of healing, and how she now approaches autoimmune and rheumatologic conditions with a whole-body perspective. This episode is for anyone navigating chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, or simply looking for inspiration and hope in their health journey.
