Summary
When a woman is first diagnosed with breast cancer, the fear and overwhelm can be paralyzing.

Dr. Tamirisa shares the key questions every woman should ask her surgeon, why referrals to fertility specialists, plastic surgeons, and integrative medicine matter, and the alarming rise of breast cancer in younger Black women. ✨ A must-watch for anyone navigating a new diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or learning how to advocate for your breast health.
