Breast Cancer Conqueror Podcast

"Dad, I want you to tell my story to as many people as possible, so women can detect their cancer early and not go through what I have." Keesha, who passed away at a tragically young age of 34, told her father. Her father, Bob Furniss, who joined us for this episode, has gone above and beyond with her request. He wrote a book: On To Blue: The Story of a Breast Cancer Warrior Through the Eyes of a Dad (learn more here), started an early detection nonprofit for younger (WarriorPrincess.org), and is sharing his daughter's fierce fighting spirit and sage wisdom with you today! Here on this podcast, we know the stories we tell have power. We believe that knowing your body and acting early are so critical in healing breast cancer that it is Essential #7 in Dr. V's 7 Essentials System®. Too many lives have been forever altered by silent symptoms, delayed exams, or the assumption that "it can't happen to me." But it did happen—and so we speak it, write about it, (Click here to review our post on early-onset cancer), and turn pain into passion. Together, let's explore how to listen to our bodies, advocate for our health, and encourage those around us. Bring a tissue box, because this one is personal and deeply moving.

Chemotherapy, radiation, childbirth, menopause, etc. can all throw off the delicate balance of your vaginal microbiome. And yet, many women (and even doctors) don't know much about how to restore and care for their vaginal health. And since breast cancer healing requires a complete, full-body transformation, we took matters into our own hands and interviewed trailblazers Wendy Strgar, a woman who has revolutionized vaginal health with technology, science, and empathy. As the founder of Good Clean Love, Vaginal Biome Science, and Womankind Care, Wendy has spent decades pioneering non-toxic, biomimicry-based solutions that restore the delicate balance of the vaginal microbiome…even after cancer treatments. She created her patented Bio-Matched® technology and developed the first microbiota testing panel focused on vaginal health. If you've ever struggled with vaginal discomfort, odor, or recurring infections, and felt like your providers just "don't get it," this conversation is for you.
