We all have a special woman in our life; a mother, sister, aunt, friend, or daughter; did you know that breast cancer is affecting younger women at higher rates? In this Episode of Mom2Mom Maria gets real about the "BIG C" with life-changing information about breast cancer and prevention.
Maria's eye-opening discussion starts with style icon, entrepreneur, and survivor Gretta Monahan, who "did everything right" with routine and clean mammograms. It wasn't until a doctor recommended an ultrasound that cancer was detected.
We hear her story as she discusses her diagnosis, recovery, and advocacy work with the non-profit "Prevention is Power, Find The Cause" Foundation. Plus, Maria welcomes scientist Dr. Charlotte Kuperwasser whose research at Tufts University School of Medicine is helping to prevent cancer before it starts. She also shares ways to help you avoid putting yourself at risk now.
All that and more in this informative episode of Mom2Mom with Maria Sansone.
