Hey, and welcome back!  As always with the science podcasts, I am a doctor, but not your doctor, so you should run all treatment decisions by your primary team!  I am not recommending or endorsing any particular treatment, as each person’s case is different, and determined by their particular cancer specifics.  This week is a lot of science and a smidgen of coaching.  I love to teach what I really know about – these podcasts are so easy to create and record, and I love feeling like I am sharing my knowledge and helping patients understand their disease!  I haven’t put a lot of focus on DCIS in the past, as I have the thought that these people are all doing fine, and not too worried because their prognosis is great, but I have patients who are struggling here too, so I know this isn’t always the case.  Maybe by helping people to understand it a bit better, there will be less fear.

But first, let me take a minute to share...

Well, hello friends! Hope you are well, and getting into the holiday spirit. I don’t know about you, but I have this thought I should be MORE organized this year, because I am not doing lots of the things I normally do, so WHY am I so much farther behind than normal in my holiday prep? Anyone else finding this? But, I am on a roll this week knocking out some podcasts to make sure I have great content for you awesome folks AND time for my awesome family. Now, if I can just find an Xbox, which I didn’t get and they are now all sold out. Hmmm.

Looking back, I realized it has been a while since my last solo science podcast, so am going to do one today. Today’s episode is all about what I know inside out and backwards – I could talk about this in my sleep – who knows, maybe I actually do! Today, we are going to talk about radiation and its use specifically in breast cancer. All the questions you had, answered without even having to ask! How awesome is...
