Unless you’ve been told that you have the dreaded “C” word, you really can’t understand what it’s like to walk that path.

As we launch season three we open with a month of conversations about breast cancer, specifically breast cancer treatment and breast cancer awareness.

We welcome today a very special guest to the show, Sam’s wife, Brenda McCoy, a breast cancer survivor. Brenda talks with us about her journey (from detection through treatment and life 6 years on) and she shares a number of resources which she found beneficial throughout.
