If you are a breast cancer patient or know someone who is, you may want to tune in. @AnnekeBlackburn is an outstanding cancer researcher who is now experiencing cancer as a patient. She hopes to share some of that experience here. ❤️
Three weeks ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Tomorrow I get a mastectomy. I'm here to share my experience as a cancer researcher, and now as a patient.
