In this first episode of season three, I talked with Ash Davidson. I am presenting their story as a two-part series to fully explore their experience as a transmasculine non-binary person navigating breast/chest cancer. 


In Part One, Ash shares their journey of self-discovery, gender transition, and the challenges transgender individuals face in healthcare. The conversation delves into feelings of euphoria post-top surgery and their emotional upheaval after getting an unexpected invasive ductal (IDC) diagnosis a few weeks later.


Stay tuned for Part Two which will be released on Thursday, January 30th.
