OMBCL Shorts #1: Dr. Stephanie Graff & Her Steps For Those Newly Diagnosed MBC
This is the first of our special new OMBCL Shorts--super short episodes on a single topic from incredible guests.
This new series is going to bring you some of the outtakes of the amazing interviews that we do. We have so many incredible guests and we want to make sure that you hear what they have to say, even if we had to cut some of it from our longer interviews.
This short features Dr. Stephanie Graff from Brown University. It's an outtake from an interview that Victoria Goldberg and Linda Weatherby for our latest episode of RTAC.
Because we did a three part series about being newly diagnosed with MBC, it’s not really a surprise that we ask Dr. Graff about this topic that has been on our mind throughout the full season. What she has to say is just so affirming, interesting, and informative.
