What happens when the world's leading expert on breast cancer becomes the patient? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marisa Weiss, renowned oncologist and founder of Breastcancer.org, to discuss her unique 360-degree perspective on the disease. Dr. Weiss shares the raw reality of her own diagnosis and how it shifted her understanding of patient care.

We dive deep into the evolving landscape of breast cancer treatment—from targeted therapies to the importance of lifestyle changes—and why "informed decision-making" is the most powerful tool a patient can have.

Dr. Weiss breaks down the "information overload" that often follows a diagnosis and offers a roadmap for navigating treatment with clarity and confidence. We explore the vital importance of listening to your body, asking the "hard" questions to your medical team, and the lifestyle shifts that can impact long-term health. Whether you are currently in treatment, a survivor, or looking to lower your risk, Dr. Weiss provides essential advice on how to be your own best advocate in a complex medical system.
