From Diagnosis to Advocacy: How One Breast Cancer Survivor Is Paying It Forward

from Spill with Me Jenny D..... Real People, Real Stories, Heartfelt Conversations with Jenny D. · host jenniferdilucia /JCD Ventures LLC

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and here on the Jenny D. show, we're dedicated to providing education, raising awareness, and sharing inspiring stories.   In this episode, I'm joined by Tess Hrezo, a breast cancer survivor and St. Clair Health team member. Her story is a powerful testament to resilience and hope, as she was preparing for her wedding while undergoing chemotherapy treatment.   Tess shares how cold cap therapy helped preserve her hair, eased the mental impact of treatment, and inspired her to advocate for a similar therapy to be made available at St. Clair to give future patients more options and support.    If you or a loved one has questions about breast cancer care, the experts at the St. Clair Hospital Cancer Center Affiliated with UPMC Hillman Cancer Center are here to help every step of the way.
