Description
We are not yet done with our breast cancer series, but we could not wait to share this incredibly personal conversation with a patient with a recent breast cancer diagnosis. This week, we sit down with Kaele Leonard, who herself is a Pulmonary/Critical Care fellow at Vanderbilt University Medical Center who was diagnosed with breast cancer in her early 30s. As physicians, we don’t always get to hear what the journey through diagnosis, treatment, and follow up looks like from a patient’s perspective. We are so grateful to Dr. Leonard for opening up about this with us. Content: - The patient experience of finding out results and subsequent management - Importance of discussing fertility preservation - Financing fertility preservation - Role of “cold caps” for our patients (https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment-side-effects/hair-loss/cold-caps-scalp-cooling) - The “post-cancer crash” ** Want to review the show notes for this episode and others?
