Jessica talks with journalist Vicki Gonzalez, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer after turning 40. Vicki didn’t have a family history of breast cancer or genetic predisposition which made her diagnosis even more surprising. The two talk about mammograms, ultrasounds, genetics, biopsies, lumpectomies, radiation, and Vicki’s decision to get a bilateral mastectomy in this interview.
Vicki also shared her experiences of losing two pregnancies leading up to her diagnosis and how she decided to be open about her journeys.
Vicki also shares how people can be supportive of someone going through cancer treatment.
