Outwardly, people can seemingly be the picture of perfect health, but inside, that is not always the case. Such is the case of my guest today, whom you may know from shows like Dancing with the Stars and Entertainment Tonight, Samantha Harris. Despite feeling like she was the “healthy one” amongst her friends and family because she followed all of the “rules” when it came to eating and exercise, Samantha was working herself crazy and was a new mom, and then BAM! Breast cancer diagnosis at age 40. Eleven days after a clear mammogram, she found a lump. She could have ignored it after a clear mammogram and a quick exam by her OB/GYN saying it was nothing. But after four months, it was still there, so she went to see a breast oncologist…which still showed nothing, which is terrifying! The results from the biopsy finally showed that she had invasive breast cancer. Today, she shares her story and how you can take your health your health in your own hands to live your healthiest and best life!
