The Power of Knowing: PT Samantha King’s Journey with Breast Cancer

Episode 38
October is both Physical Therapy Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and today’s episode honors both. I’m joined by Samantha King, a physical therapist and breast cancer survivor, who courageously shares her journey to raise awareness about the importance of early detection.
Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women, but when it’s found early, the five-year survival rate is about 99% — a powerful reminder to stay proactive about screenings.
Samantha, thank you for sharing your story with us and inspiring others to take charge of their health.
