Breast Cancer Podcast: Journey to Recovery

I just learned about an American Cancer Society Breast Cancer Podcast Series called “Journey to Recovery“.
In the series, Dr. Margaret Kemeny, a world-renowned oncologist in New York and one of America’s first female cancer surgeons, speaks from a clinical point of view along with a narrator and six survivors. Together, this team of people addresses issues throughout the series concerning: diagnosis, treatment, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation … and life beyond breast cancer.
The primary purpose of the podcast is to let women dealing with a diagnosis learn that they are not alone — and to help make some sense of the clinical information that survivors are bombarded with from the beginning.
This morning I listened to the first episode. It starts out:
“When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I felt shocked, extremely shocked and I felt like I was hit by a mack truck.”
“I felt that I was invaded by a foreign object that had no business being in my body.”
You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or download individual mp3 files. Here’s the link again.
