No one prepares for going from stage 0 to stage 4. My guest, Nancy Herard-Marshall, was diagnosed with DCIS in Situ in October 2013. She was hitting her five-year mark in survivorship and living life until she went mountain climbing in Haiti. She pricked her finger which later triggered lymphedema. From that moment, there would be more complications, and ultimately, a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis (MBC). Listen to Nancy’s story of her struggles, support group connections, microaggressions experienced by her medical team, how her subtype changed, and how she stood up for herself in the midst of the insanity.
