PINK365: Dr. Anne Peled on Rethinking Breast Cancer Surgery

#PINK365: Dr. Anne Peled on Rethinking Breast Cancer Surgery out NOW!!!!!Today on Pink 365, Miranda sits down with breast cancer and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Anne Peled to talk about how breast cancer surgery has evolved — and what that evolution actually means for patients.They unpack advice on how women can make surgical decisions in the middle of fear and uncertainty, the real differences between reconstruction options, and why preserving nipples, nerves, and sensation can significantly impact long-term quality of life. Dr. Peled describes her current surgical practices, why she recommends movement to her patients to aid recovery, and what outcomes patients should be thinking about not just six weeks after surgery — but six years later.As a two-time breast cancer survivor herself, Dr. Peled brings a perspective that bridges clinical expertise and lived experience. Her time on both sides of the consultation room has shaped how she talks about risk, guides decision-making, and defines what a “good outcome” truly means. It’s a conversation grounded in both science and empathy — and in understanding that treatment is about more than removing disease; it’s about preserving the life someone returns to afterward.This episode is supported by MBC Cure and Cancer Culture — two organizations working to change the way we approach breast cancer from both the research and patient-experience sides. MBC Cure is focused on advancing metastatic breast cancer research with urgency and intention, while Cancer Culture is building community and modernizing the conversation around what living with cancer actually looks like. Their work reflects what we talk about here on Pink 365: informed decisions, honest dialogue, and care that considers the whole person.
