The Cancer Cipher, Sharon Speaks

About The Cancer Cipher, Sharon Speaks

The Cancer Cipher is a term I started to use once I was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer spread to my bones because it was difficult to understand all of the information concerning my diagnoses. I felt overwhelmed, stressed, and on emotional overload trying to understand all of the aspects of my cancer diagnosis. Therefore, my goal and mission with this Podcast are to help and encourage people as we all navigate through this cancer journey by: * Helping people by providing insights on living with breast cancer through personal stories and experiences * Discuss breast cancer basics and advanced knowledge * Preventative health and life strategies while understanding medical treatments * Explore and decipher aspects of what the Cancer Cipher means
