The Many Faces of Cancer
As a cancer survivor and thriver, I know how important community and support are when you are facing a cancer diagnosis. That’s why I created The Many Faces of Cancer Podcast.
Each week I will be interviewing amazing people with heartfelt and inspirational stories from all sides of the cancer journey: patients, survivors and thrivers, caregivers, family and friends, and professionals. I may even throw in a bonus episode once in a while talking about things that are important to us all.
We never think it will happen to us, until it does. This podcast will be about community, knowing you’re not alone in your journey. It will also be an opportunity for people to share their stories and hopefully help others.
I hope you will all tune in. While it will be cancer stories, we all learn from others and, ultimately, these are human stories, applicable to many other areas of life.

Male Breast Cancer Happens with Mom and Advocate Peggy Miller
Today's guest is Peggy Miller. Peggy's son Bret was diagnosed 15 years ago with breast cancer. Since then, she and her family have been on a mission to bring awareness to male breast cancer.
They started a non-profit called Bret Miller 1T Male Breast Cancer Happens and have been spreading the word about self exams, cutting edge research, and an annual male breast cancer conference.
#TogetherWeWillChangetheWORLD and #MenHaveBreastsToo are Peggy's mottos and she lives them every day.
We talk advocating for yourself and if you notice a lump or a problem, don't stop until someone takes you seriously, the importance of self breast exams, men supporting men through a breast cancer diagnosis, and so much more.
Bottom line, if you have breasts, you can get breast cancer, so do your self exams.
