Episode 382: Faith. Survival. Purpose. The Journey from Survivor to Advocate

What does it take to turn the most terrifying moment of your life into a movement? For Yvonne McLean Florence, it started with discovering a lump she acted on right away. Yvonne is a HER2-positive breast cancer survivor, ordained minister, Worship in Pink Ambassador, former founder of Sisters R Us Circle of Survivors (SRUCOS) and is currently the reigning Ms. Pennsylvania Senior America 2025. But before all of that, she was a wife, a mother, a grandmother — and suddenly, a patient. In this powerful episode of Real Pink, Yvonne joins host Adam Walker to talk about what it felt like to receive a life-changing diagnosis, how her faith in God, family and friends carried her through chemotherapy and Herceptin infusions, and why she didn’t stop when treatment ended. She’ll share how she’s bringing the conversation about breast health into churches across Philadelphia through Worship in Pink, what it means to build a Cancer Survivorship Resource Nook inside a congregation, and why she would like every survivor to discover how they can also reach back. This episode is part of our Health Equity Revolution series, which lifts up the voices, stories and solutions of the communities most impacted by breast cancer disparities.
