When a family member is diagnosed with breast cancer, it can impact the whole family. Our guest, Barbara Spears (Barb), understands this well. Her diagnosis of invasive ductal breast cancer (IDC) changed the course of her daughter Chrissy's career from pharmacy school to becoming a genetic counselor. Barb shares how her diagnosis took her by surprise and how the support of her husband Bill and daughter helped her through the surgeries and treatments. We also discuss the importance of participating in breast cancer research, having a trustworthy medical team, and how the experience strengthened her bond with her daughter.
You may recall her daughter Chrissy Spears, who was also a guest on our show this season. You can listen to her episode from earlier this year titled "Her Mom’s Breast Cancer Diagnosis Changed Trajectory of Her Career" on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Buzzsprout, or any other podcast platform of your choice.
