What if you received a life-changing diagnosis despite being at the peak of your health, managing a successful career, and having no family history of the disease? Join us for an inspiring conversation with Ellyn Winters, who shares her rollercoaster journey from high-functioning PR mogul to breast cancer survivor and advocate. Ellyn’s story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of facing life's unexpected challenges head-on.

Ellyn opens up about her decision to undergo a double mastectomy with aesthetic flat closure, courageously opting out of breast mound reconstruction, and the grueling process of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. She also dives into the emotional and physical hurdles she faced, including the impact of lymph node involvement and medications like Letrozole. Ellyn’s advocacy work shines through as we highlight her groundbreaking topless feature in People Magazine post-surgery and her co-created app https://askellyn.ai/, an empathetic AI companion designed to support breast cancer patients and their families. We explore how this innovative tool, built from OpenAI technology and Ellyn’s personal experience, offers non-judgmental support while urging users to consult their medical professionals. Ellyn discusses the AI's global reach and the move to a nonprofit model, emphasizing the importance of empathy and the common healthcare challenges patients face, particularly in Canada. Tune in to learn about the strength in survivorship and the systemic changes needed to better support those battling breast cancer.

When Kristen Dahlgren walked away from the https://www.nbc.com/ news desk & into the realm of breast cancer advocacy, she lit a path for countless others to follow. Her foundation, the Cancer Vaccine Coalition , is more than just a passion—it's a pursuit of a world where breast cancer no longer looms over our futures. In our heartfelt discussion, Kristen & I, Jamie Vaughn, intertwine the threads of our own breast cancer battles, revealing the emotional landscapes we navigated & the unconventional symptoms that led us to life-saving diagnoses.

Strap in for a journey through the landscape of hope and innovation, as we chart the progress of the Pink Eraser Project's quest for a breast cancer vaccine. Together, Kristen & I dissect the groundbreaking work of Nora Disis M.D. & how her 30-year pursuit of a cancer vaccine could very well change the game. With the 'Give Us a Shot' campaign gaining traction and https://testthosebreasts.org/ set to launch, we underscore the urgency & importance of education, awareness, & the collective push toward turning the dream of a vaccine into reality.

By sharing our stories—Kristen's transformative fight & my own crusade for awareness—we aim to forge a community that's as resilient as it is informed. As we delve into the potential of vaccines to not only treat but also prevent this pervasive disease, we highlight how early detection & proactive health measures remain vital. This episode is an invitation to join us on the frontlines of a battle that is both deeply personal & universally imperative, armed with the most powerful weapon: HOPE.
