from Cancer Actually F**king Sucks · host CAFS

This week's guest will have you laughing the entire time! Lauren Tarpley is a current HER2+ Breast Cancer patient and at the time of recording with her, she had just finished chemo and was waiting to start immunotherapy and have a double mastectomy. We talk about how there are so many different types of breast cancer and endless choices to make with the disease, the "Previvor Movement," how cancer running in her family influenced her decisions, racial disparities in the American healthcare system and so much more.  Lauren is hilarious and honest, and really opens up about cancer taking everything from you and losing complete control of your health and life. She is also a fellow podcast host @lifewithlittleones.podcast and you can follow her journey on Instagram @typeaguidetocancer!  Follow us and keep up with our guests on Instagram and Facebook @canceractuallysuckspodcast
