Episode 2 - Our Diagnosis Stories

Welcome back to The Boobie Breakdown! In Episode 2, we’re taking it back to where our breast cancer stories began: finding the lump, getting the scans, hearing the words “you have cancer,” and navigating the overwhelming weeks that followed. We’re Bre + Emily, two triple negative breast cancer survivors who were both diagnosed with Stage 2B breast cancer at different points in our lives. In this episode, we’re sharing our diagnosis stories and the moments we knew something wasn’t right. We’re also talking about what we call “Hell Week,” the time between finding out you have cancer and actually having a treatment plan in place. It’s filled with appointments, scans, biopsies, phone calls, waiting, uncertainty, anxiety, and SO many unknowns. We break down what that time looked like for each of us, how quickly life changed, the importance of advocating for yourself, and some of the things that helped us navigate those first overwhelming weeks. If you’re currently waiting for answers, newly diagnosed, or supporting someone who is, we hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone. And one reminder we’ll probably say more than once around here: know your body, pay attention when something feels different, and advocate for yourself. 💗 🎙️ Subscribe to The Boobie Breakdown so you don’t miss what’s coming next. 🔗 IMPORTANT LINKS 🎀 Follow The Boobie Breakdown on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theboobiebreakdown/ 💗 Read the Brave Beautiful Boobies Blog: https://www.bravebeautifulboobies.com/ 📚 Breast Cancer Resources: https://www.bravebeautifulboobies.com/blog/breast-cancer-resources ✨ Shop Inspiring Merch: https://www.bravebeautifulboobies.com/shop FOLLOW BRE + EMILY Bre on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brejoy_4 Em on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@simply_thebreast
