S3 Part B Bonus - Voice Memos - Stories of Young Mothers Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

Too Young For This Shit | AYA Breast Cancer Podcast

Join us for an intimate conversation featuring four remarkable women—Aliza, Ashleigh, Jamie, and Nari (BIPOC)—as they candidly share their journeys through diagnoses, offering an up-close exploration of how they navigated the paths of motherhood and cancer. This special 'Part B' bonus series invites you to witness their unfiltered experiences, providing a heartfelt glimpse into the highs, lows, and unwavering strength that define their unique stories.

A huge thank you to Jamie for graciously sharing her experience in the POSITIVE Study— a study that looks at women who are looking to pursue pregnancy by temporarily pausing their hormone therapy medication in hopes of conceiving. Jamie's journey led to the miraculous birth of her son, Cash. For more information about the study, we've included some helpful links below.
