    Breast Cancer Surgery Recovery: What No One Tells You About Healing, Swelling & Lymphedema with Tina Tsan,DAOM, LAc, CLWT
    Jun 3 2026
    In Part 1 of the Boobalicious podcast, hosts Chris and Jenni welcome Tina San — acupuncturist, certified lymphedema therapist, and wound care specialist — for a deep dive into post-surgical recovery after breast cancer surgery. Tina shares her origin story: a martial arts enthusiast turned massage therapist who discovered acupuncture for injury recovery, then stumbled into lymphedema work after receiving a YouTube link about acupuncture treating lymphedema — the same week she got a hospice call for a patient with bilateral leg lymphedema. That pivotal moment sent her down a decade-long path of specialization. The conversation then shifts to what Tina actually does for post-op patients. She and the hosts discuss the frustrating gap in patient education — how surgeons rarely refer patients to lymphatic therapy after mastectomy or reconstruction, leaving women to Google their way through recovery. Tina walks through the typical healing timeline week by week: the emotional first three to five days with drains, the relief of drain removal around week two, and the gradual softening of swollen, hardened tissue over a three-month recovery. The episode also covers fat grafting and liposuction — what they involve, when they're done in the reconstruction process, and why lipo recovery is more traumatic than most patients expect. The hosts and Tina advocate passionately for better post-op protocols and patient advocacy, encouraging listeners to ask surgeons about referrals before going into surgery.

    May 20 2026
    Today Chris and Jenni sit down with Anna, founder of My Cancer Chic. Anna shares her experience being diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer at a young age and how that journey led her to create a thriving online community for young breast cancer survivors. The conversation explores survivorship, medical menopause, Tamoxifen, journaling as therapy, motherhood after cancer, and how life changes nearly 11 years after diagnosis. They also discuss identity after cancer, balancing advocacy with everyday life, and Anna’s powerful analogy of cancer moving from “the front seat to the trunk” over time. If you’re navigating breast cancer, survivorship, anxiety after treatment, or life after a cancer diagnosis, this episode is honest, relatable, and full of hope. Stay tuned for Part 2, where the conversation continues into nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness after breast cancer.
