March is Women’s History Month, and today’s episode is more than medicine…
It’s a story of science, courage, and the voices of women who changed everything.
For decades, women were told that survival required sacrifice —
not just of the breast… but of identity.
Radical surgeries.
Permanent disability.
No questions asked.
But something powerful happened.
💡 Science evolved.
💬 Patients began to speak up.
👩‍⚕️ Women entered medicine.
And everything changed.
Today, breast cancer surgery is no longer about doing more —
it’s about doing what’s necessary… and nothing more.
In this episode, I walk you through:
✨ How we moved from disfiguring surgeries to precision care
✨ The trials that proved less can be just as effective
✨ Why quality of life is now part of the conversation
✨ And how patient voices reshaped modern medicine
As a breast surgeon and a survivor, this journey is deeply personal to me.
Because today, we don’t just treat cancer.
We treat the person.
💭 And when we combine evidence with compassion…
that is when healing truly happens.
