Ep74: Take Care of Your Boobies: The Past 8 Months of Breast Scaries

I recorded this episode the day I got a breast biopsy.  I'm a pretty private person, but sharing what this experience was like from first lump and concerning symptoms to biopsy results is important *spoiler alert: results came back all clear!  What were my first symptoms? What is it like to get a mammogram? How did I manage my fear and worry about big scary possibilities? What does it mean to have dense breasts? Why did I do further testing even though my mammogram didn't show anything? What is a breast ultrasound? What is a breast MRI like? How was the experience of getting a breast biopsy? In this episode, I tell you what the timeline and steps were to final results, how to deal with worry while waiting for testing (and the sleepless nights that inevitably show up), and explore why we don't share our hard things (or at least why I have a hard time with this). I also have a little rant about healthcare system issues in the US and what to do when you're worried about paying for testing and treatment.  If you find this episode helpful, please share with a friend, leave a rating and review on whatever platform you listen.   -- Find me on Instagram Book me to speak at your corporate or private event Send me an email at [email protected]
