Kate DiConzo

A healthcare worker finds out she has breast cancer at age 33. Kate’s treatment takes her through five months of chemotherapy and a bilateral mastectomy with lymph node removal, but she’s able to avoid radiation therapy thanks to a newly published research study that her radiation oncologist from New England Cancer Specialists shares with her. Kate opens up about coping with cancer through humor, the challenge of switching from caregiver to patient, and how she maintained a positive mindset while allowing herself to feel all emotions throughout her treatment.
