   Finding a “New Normal” Through Community

   Today’s episode of Finding Flow focuses on early breast cancer diagnosis and how it affects the trajectory of someone’s life. Many people believe that you can “go back to normal” once you have rung the bell. However, this diagnosis and the treatment undertaken inevitably influence your future. In this two-part episode, we sit down with Trish Michelle, the Chief Community Officer of the Breasties. She discusses how her medical team made certain decisions for her, and she didn't receive the full range of options that would influence her life post-treatment. She found that she needed to find others who understood the massive shift her life had gone through. It was through finding community that helped give her experience a larger meaning and purpose. We then get guidance from Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky, a board-certified medical oncologist and the Head of Breast and Gynecologic Medical Oncology at Valley-Mount Sinai Comprehensive. She has a new book, Beyond the Pink: Navigating Life, Health, and Breast Cancer, which highlights the importance of treating the whole person: mentally, physically, and aspirationally. She understands how to handle the emotional aspects of this diagnosis, how to ask strong questions about what they want their future to look like, and how to prepare for life post bell. Guest Bio: Trish Michelle is a cancer survivor, public speaker, and patient advocate dedicated to supporting individuals affected by cancer and chronic illnesses. Diagnosed with stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma in her thirties, two years after her son's battle with rare leukemia, Trish Michelle transformed these experiences into a mission of care and empowerment. As Chief Community Officer of The Breasties, she works to create a supportive network for people impacted by breast and gynecologic cancers. Trish Michelle is known for her candid communication style and use of social media to connect with others, infusing humor into difficult conversations. Guest Expert Bio: Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky is a board-certified medical oncologist specializing in the treatment of breast and gynecologic cancer. She is the Head of Breast and Gynecologic Medical Oncology at Valley Health System in Paramus, New Jersey, and a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her clinical and research interests focus on young women with cancer, sexual health, and cancer survivorship.

   This Moment Belongs to Me: Agency: The Time & Space Between Diagnosis to Treatment

   Today’s episode of Finding Flow is the fourth in a special series called This Moment Belongs to Me. This series features discussions on how breast cancer patients can find uplifting resources in a time of uncertainty - and the impact it has in making sense of a diagnosis and finding purpose through agency and continued education. In this episode, SHE Media CEO, Samantha Skey, speaks with Jeanelle Adams, a seventh-grade teacher turned breast cancer policy lobbyist. After she was misdiagnosed in the early stages of her breast cancer journey and eventually diagnosed as triple-negative, she became a TNBC thriver and legislative advocate at the American Cancer Society. Our second guest is Tami Eagle Bowling, a keynote Motivational Speaker, Producer, and Stage 4 Breast Cancer Thriver who has been using her platform for the last several years to advocate for better laws for metastatic breast cancer patients nationwide. Together, they provide our audience with a range of ways to advocate, from local communities to global events.

Participants were not compensated. Bios At 41, Tami Eagle Bowling was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer with no family history. Despite her diagnosis, she became a thriver and embraced the uncertainty of her daily life. Her mantra soon became Make Each Day Meaningful. Now, she's using her voice to advocate for better laws for metastatic breast cancer patients, having served as a Consumer Reviewer for the Department of Defense, BCRP, to share her thoughts on which breast cancer research grants would have the most impact for patients. She was recognized by her home state with a Joint Legislative Resolution from the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey for being a citizen of outstanding character and exceptional determination. Jeanelle Adams, 36, is a seventh-grade teacher turned breast cancer policy lobbyist. Jeanelle who is Black and Puerto Rican was misdiagnosed in the early stages of her breast cancer journey and eventually diagnosed as triple-negative, a subtype that is especially hard to treat because it is not driven by estrogen, progesterone or another hormone, human epidermal growth factor 2. Getting the right diagnosis took her two years, but she used her experience with medical dismissal to later become a legislative advocate at the American Cancer Society and to push for more research and coverage for breast cancer patients, particularly for stage 4 patients.
