She hears the words “You have breast cancer” while standing on a packed BART train in San Francisco, and the world tilts. Sheree takes us from that surreal phone call to the small but life-changing moment where she refuses to wait six months and asks for a biopsy now. The result is a story about early detection, clarity, and the kind of self-advocacy that can feel uncomfortable until you remember what’s at stake: your body, your time, your family.

We also get practical about breast cancer treatment decisions, including the real differences between a lumpectomy and a mastectomy, why radiation often follows breast-conserving surgery, and what it means to live in “after” with medication, reconstruction choices, and recurrence anxiety. Along the way, we talk about breast cancer symptoms people miss, how awareness campaigns can still leave us under-educated, and why “it probably isn’t cancer” is not the same as certainty.

Then the conversation widens into the inner work that helps you survive the outer work. Sheree shares how her marriage deepens even though she believes in God and her husband is agnostic, and she tells the unforgettable story of requesting Bob Dylan in a medical procedure room so she can pray and breathe through fear. She also explains her daily practice of two-way prayer, a notebook-based meditation tool she uses on trains, in tense meetings, and in moments when she knows reacting will only create more pain.
