Join us for a powerful and emotional conversation with Terese Curry, breast cancer survivor and advocate, alongside Tony Dean of Pink Cancer Cancer. In this eye-opening episode, Terese shares her journey of being diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer at just 31 years old—weeks before her wedding—despite having no family history and being told by a doctor she was fine.
Discover how Terese's intuition and self-advocacy potentially saved her life, why she's passionate about changing the narrative around breast cancer in young women, and the beautiful outcome of her journey—her daughter Abigail Hope, born after doctors told her she could safely pursue motherhood post-cancer.
Key moments:• How finding a lump just weeks before her wedding changed everything• Why seeking a second opinion was critical to her early diagnosis• The truth about breast cancer affecting women in their 20s and 30s• How Shannon's Law (allowing mammograms at 35) is saving lives in New York• The importance of supporting local cancer foundations that directly help patients• Terese's deeply personal perspective on "survivor's guilt" and honoring those who've passed
Whether you're a young woman, know someone facing breast cancer, or simply want to be better informed, this episode delivers crucial information and heartfelt inspiration that could literally save lives.
