My phone rang at 3 PM on a Tuesday. "I found a lump on my breast." Four words that instantly transported me back to my own darkest moments. Four words that made me realize my sister had been walking around with a ticking time bomb and nobody knew it. In today's episode, I'm sharing the conversation that every cancer survivor dreads - when someone you love finds themselves facing the same nightmare you barely survived. This isn't just about my sister's lump. This is about the terrifying reality that millions of women are walking around unscreened, unchecked, and unaware of what might be growing inside their bodies. I'll take you through what went through my mind when I heard those words. The flood of memories from my diagnosis. The way my survivor's guilt mixed with protective fury. The immediate shift into crisis mode while trying to stay calm for her sake. You'll hear about the shocking discovery that my sister hadn't been properly screened in seven years, how her previous surgeon had somehow let her slip through the cracks. The way medical systems fail women is by not following up, not tracking, and not ensuring continuity of care. I'll share the frantic calls I made to get her seen immediately. The strings I pulled using my cancer connections. Having been through this myself gave me knowledge about navigating the system that she didn't have. But here's what really terrifies me - how many other women are out there right now, over 40, thinking they're fine because nobody's told them they need regular screening? How many sisters, mothers, friends are walking around with lumps they haven't found yet because they're not checking? This conversation could save your life or the life of someone you love. The wake-up call that screening isn't optional and seven years is seven years too long.
