Welcome back to our first repeat podcast guest! In honor of Rare Disease Day, Lainie Jones, @theearlydetective, is back to share her latest cancer updates. At age 41, she is currently battling her 7TH CANCER, (no) thanks to Li-Fraumeni Syndrome. She shares how she stays so positive despite her laundry list of cancers (most recently glioblastoma!) & how early cancer detection continues to save her life. We discuss how to support someone battling cancer, scanxiety, what scares her, & of course, that Super Bowl commercial.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, & you'll be inspired.

We hope you love this episode as much as we do. Thanks for listening!

all the breast,

Robyn (Dr. Robyn Roth)

One of my dream guests is on the podcast TODAY! Jill Martin, Today Show Contributor, opens up about her BRCA gene mutation that ultimately led to her diagnosis of aggressive breast cancer. Jill reflects on the past year of treatment and survivorship, how her breast cancer diagnosis made her a better person, and tells us why she calls her chemotherapy her "best friend pills." She shares her best holiday gifts including our favorite sherpas, and I share a super secret project I’ve been working on!

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I loved recording it! (ps Jill, did we just become breast friends?)

In this episode, breast radiologist, Dr. Robyn Roth, aka @theboobiedocs, talks with Dr. Dana Ataya, an associate professor of breast radiology at Moffitt Cancer Center. They discuss the crucial importance of yearly mammograms starting at age 40 for average-risk women and emphasize the rising incidence of breast cancer in younger women.

The episode addresses the confusion surrounding screening guidelines, the significance of understanding personal breast cancer risk, particularly for Jewish and Black women, and the benefits of supplemental imaging like ultrasound and MRI for women with dense breast tissue.

Additionally, common myths about mammography, such as the notion that they cause breast cancer, are debunked. The conversation highlights the importance of evidence-based screening methods and healthy lifestyle choices in cancer prevention. Dr. Dana shares her first song and music video, End the Confusion, to promote breast cancer screening awareness as well as her Moffitt Cancer Center band, The ReMissions band. Dr. Robyn also gives important breast cancer awareness updates.
