Did you know that about 80% of patients undergoing cancer treatment have skin-related side effects? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ethan Melillo (@millennialrx), PharmD and Senior Manager of Integrated Health at L’Oréal who works closely with the La Roche-Posay team, to discuss ways that patients can minimize skin side effects before, during, and after cancer treatment.

For 50 years, La Roche-Posay has been dedicated to helping navigate patients through the challenges of cancer treatment through skin care. We talk about the importance of skin side effects in cancer care. the perfect regimen for cancer thrivers, LRP’s oncology services, & their thermal springs in La Roche-Posay, France. (Yes, it’s a city with thermal springs!)

Listen to this episode before you get breast reconstruction!

It was my honor to speak to my friend, Plastic Surgeon & advocate, Dr. Alicia Billington. We unpack all of the insurance craziness she & her patients have experienced over the last few months, & how social media has played a role. We talk about the problems with the Women’s Health & Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) & how we can fix this.

We also talk about all the reconstructive options you have after breast cancer, including flat closure, flap, & implants, plus the GalaFLEX internal bra! We even figure out my perfect breast reconstruction as a woman who breast-fed three kids. (Howard, listen up!)

We hope you love this episode as much as we do! (ps I’m pretty sure we just became breasties! 👯‍♀️)

Welcome back to our first repeat podcast guest! In honor of Rare Disease Day, Lainie Jones, @theearlydetective, is back to share her latest cancer updates. At age 41, she is currently battling her 7TH CANCER, (no) thanks to Li-Fraumeni Syndrome. She shares how she stays so positive despite her laundry list of cancers (most recently glioblastoma!) & how early cancer detection continues to save her life. We discuss how to support someone battling cancer, scanxiety, what scares her, & of course, that Super Bowl commercial.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, & you'll be inspired.

We hope you love this episode as much as we do. Thanks for listening!

all the breast,

Robyn (Dr. Robyn Roth)
