053. Surviving Cancer and Prioritizing One’s Health with Sylvia
Wednesday Oct 12, 2022
Wednesday Oct 12, 2022
Truth be told, having an illness can happen to anybody. Even if you’re relatively healthy, even if you’re active, and even if you’re eating clean, it can still happen to you. It may be difficult to hear, but cancer or any illness doesn’t discriminate.
This rings true for today’s guest, Sylvia. The BRCA gene, which causes cancer when a mutation happens, was detected in her mother, who eventually died of ovarian cancer. Sylvia got tested, and it turns out she has the BRCA gene too. In 2020, she was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, which was a turning point for her when it came to taking care of her health, asking important questions, and being more self-aware.
Sylvia shares a chapter of her story in this episode from having cancer, deciding what treatment methods are best for her, going through surgical menopause, and eventually being more in tune with her body.
Join us in this conversation and be inspired to make your health a top priority too!
