## Resource

In this special Breast Cancer Awareness edition, Dianne Keen is joined by Laura Manser, Director of Provider Education at PBS Radiology and a seven-year breast cancer survivor, to share her powerful story of resilience, advocacy, and the vital role imaging plays in early detection and survival. Together, they explore the human side of radiology from navigating a dual journey as both caregiver and patient to confronting barriers in access to care that delay diagnosis and treatment. The conversation underscores the urgent need for efficiency, education, and patient empowerment in healthcare. Listeners will gain invaluable insights into the realities of survivorship, the importance of self-advocacy, and how imaging professionals can help close critical gaps in patient care.
