Komen LA County 7th Annual Metastatic Breast Cancer Conference

Late Night Health’s Mark Alyn recently chatted with Sharon Spencer Schlesinger, Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County Metastatic Breast Cancer Committee Founder and Chair. Sharon was diagnosed with both breast and cervical cancer over 28 years ago, in the dark ages, before the internet, social media, and the entry of Susan G. Komen on the national stage. Her cancer was caught at an early stage, and she was lucky enough not to experience a recurrence or a more advanced stage, even though the fear remained long after everyone else decided she was cancer free. That’s the funny thing about any kind of cancer, she says, you are never ‘free’ again. Currently she focuses on creating support and awareness for the issues associated with metastaic breast cancer. Her best friends are all metastatic now, her mission: to empower them with the knowledge they need to live a full, creative and rewarding life as cancer ‘free’ as she has gratefully lived.Her fingerprints are evident on Susan G. Komen’s Los Angeles County 7th Annual Metastatic Breast Cancer Conference, “Creating Understanding One Community After Another,” For the first time ever, it will be live streamed in six languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.
