## Resource

Laura Mango is a doctor, but that didn’t make it any easier when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. What it did do is completely change how she sees herself, her work, and her relationship with the people she cares for. In today’s episode, she sits down with David to talk about her parallel journeys as a doctor, a patient, and a mother, and how each has made the others richer and more profound.
