Without the jetlag, we had great conversations with Dr. Fatima Cordoso, Vesna Zic-Cote, Advisory Board Member of Canada’s RETHINK Breast Cancer, Aiko Brody of Japanese SHARE, Dr. Rania Azmi of Kuwait’s Fadia Survive and Thrive Cancer Association, Rod Ritchie of Breast Cancer Network Australia, Chris Chukwunyere of Nigeria, Lesley Kailani Glen of Project Life & Kenya’s Faraja Cancer Support, and Jo Taylor of METUPUK.

Everyone here at the pod is sending out love during this month of October.  It can be tough, we know, for so so many reasons.  We have more than a little love in our heart for you.  

“I think if you care about someone and you got a little love in your heart, there ain’t nothin you can’t get through together.” TED LASSO
