If you’ve ever thought, “Wow, breast cancer is a full-time job,” you’re in the right place.
We’re two women who met while filming a breast cancer documentary through vraniCURE — and between the surgeries, the wigs, and the medical jargon no one warns you about, we found something unexpected: each other (and our sense of humor).
This podcast is our unfiltered take on what it’s really like to get diagnosed, go through treatment, and figure out who you are after cancer tries to steal your sparkle. We talk about everything — the good, the bad, the bald — and somehow still manage to laugh through it all.
Think of us as your new breast friends who’ve been there, done that, and lived to tell the jokes. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, or on the other side trying to remember what “normal” even means, grab your coffee (or wine) and join us.
Because yes, cancer sucks — but laughter helps.
