  • 68. Insomnia as a Breast Cancer Survivor

    68. Insomnia as a Breast Cancer Survivor
    21 Aug 2026

    Sleep disruption and insomnia can be an overlooked part of life after breast cancer. In this episode of My Breast Cancer Life, I share my personal experience realizing that my sleep problems had become more serious than I initially understood.

    After years of waking up one to three times during the night, starting a new job with earlier mornings made the impact of my disrupted sleep impossible to ignore. I share what prompted me to seek help, how I approached the conversation with my medical oncologist, and what I learned along the way.

  • 67. Breast Cancer Survivorship and Multiple Medical Appointments

    67. Breast Cancer Survivorship and Multiple Medical Appointments
    7 Aug 2026
    Breast cancer life and survivorship comes with the expectation that you follow up with your medical oncologist on a set schedule. What I did not expect is to have so many other medical appointments now that it has been a few years since my diagnosis. A retina specialist is needed to determine if tamoxifen is affecting my eyes. Another gynecology appointment is needed to determine what can be done to manage symptoms that could be from tamoxifen or attributed simply to menopause. I blame the cancer history and tamoxifen for the appointments that fill my day in this episode.

  • 66. Breast Surgeon Follow-Up: 3 Years After Breast Cancer and a Mastectomy

    66. Breast Surgeon Follow-Up: 3 Years After Breast Cancer and a Mastectomy
    19 Jun 2026
    It has been three years since my left skin-sparing, nipple-sparing mastectomy for the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (breast cancer). I just had my annual follow up with the breast surgeon. The breast surgeon is really focused on catching any new breast cancer. She does a breast exam on the side where there wasn't any cancer, in addition to checking the area around the implant and in the left arm pit (the side where I had the cancer). The breast surgeon also reviews my most recent breast imaging results. Leading up to this year's breast surgery appointment, I definitely was exhibiting a bit of an attitude towards my breast surgeon. I reference prior episodes where I recommend always getting a second opinion for the breast surgery and making sure you're the first or second surgical case of the day. Both of these episodes are based on my experience with the breast surgeon. At this appointment, the breast surgeon dove deep into discussion about approaches to screening and how to handle anything in the future that comes up as needing to be biopsied. I wasn't expecting this, but felt deeply reassured in her approach to my breast cancer screening. I was reminded that my breast surgeon is truly an expert (how could I ever forget this?) and although it is true I am always waiting more than an hour to see her (including on the day of my surgery), it doesn't take away from the value that she provides me in my breast cancer life.
