Let’s talk about breasts, BABY! 🎀

👋 I’m Dr. Robyn Roth, but my friends call me @theboobiedocs, my popular social media platform where I discuss breast cancer and breast health in an educational and fun way. 👩🏻‍⚕️

I’m a board-certified Radiologist who specializes in breast imaging and image guided procedures.🩻 I also happen to be a 40-something woman with a strong family history of breast cancer and BRCA, so I know a thing or two about breast cancer. 💝

And this is my podcast, The Girlfriend’s Guide to Breast Cancer, Breast Health, & Beyond.

If you or someone you love has been affected by breast cancer than this podcast is for you. Each episode, I talk to top breast cancer experts, thrivers, previvors, and those who love them, to bring you THE BREAST INFORMATION. 💕

BREAST CANCER SURGEON 2 PATIENT W DR. LIZ O'RIORDAN

Wednesday, August 14, 2024 • Duration 48:14

Greetings from across the pond. I sit down with Dr. Liz O’Riordan (@oriordanliz), a UK-based breast cancer surgeon by training turned advocate after her own invasive lobular breast cancer diagnosis at age 40. She has since dedicated her life to educating and empowering people affected by breast cancer. She is an international speaker and author of “The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer: How to Feel Empowered and Take Control” and her memoir, “Under the Knife: The Rise and Fall of a Female Surgeon.

We discuss how her diagnosis changed her perspective and purpose, and she shares wisdom after having been on both sides of breast cancer.

We hope you love this episode as much as we do.

EPISODE GUIDE! 🎧

THE BREASTIES! 👯‍♀️💕 Worst club, best members!

Season 2 · Episode 23

Friday, April 28, 2023 • Duration 49:53

I am so happy to be chatting with three incredible women from The Breasties, Kelli Goss, Lauren Oxenhandler, & Kelsey Litwin. The Breasties is the first all-inclusive nonprofit for breast & gynecologic cancer that creates a community for survivor, previvors, thrivers, & carevivors through peer-to-peer connection, resources, & advocacy.

We chat about their connection to breast cancer, how The Breasties helped them, and the upcoming Camp Breastie, a four-day summit June 1-4 where hundreds of people impacted by breast and gynecologic cancer come together for community, patient advocacy, and education. (Registration closes May 1 so it’s not too late to join!) 🫶

Kelli Goss is a BRCA1 previvor and the daughter of a two-time breast cancer survivor. In 2018, after discovering that she carried the BRCA gene mutation, Kellie opted to have a prophylactic mastectomy and hysterectomy to lower the risk of cancer. She shares her BRCA1 journey in the hopes that women of color will see themselves represented when making informed decisions about breast and ovarian health, early detection, and genetic counseling. Kelli is The Breasties Director of Diversity Equity + Inclusion.

Lauren Oxenhandler is a transformational Life Coach and Reiki II practitioner. She is cancer-free after her stage II triple negative breast cancer diagnosis in 2017. After finishing chemotherapy, Lauren felt isolated and craved connection to a community of people who understood what she was going through. She discovered The Breasties, and now serves as

Director of Virtual Programming.

Kelsey Litwin discovered that she carries the BRCA1 gene mutation at 22 years old & was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer two years later, just prior to her prophylactic mastectomy. Kelsey is a freelance journalist, editor, and communications specialist based in Montreal, Canada and is passionate about making health information accessible. She writes and edits for The Peak, working to create content that resonates with, comforts and supports all members of the Breasties community.

A DAMN GOOD PODCAST: SURROGACY🤰

Season 2 · Episode 22

Monday, April 10, 2023 • Duration 46:06

I am joined by two of the incredible founders of A Damn Good Life, Victoria Raphael and Ann Palmer, who are no stranger to breast cancer diagnosis at a young age & the impact it can have on a woman’s fertility journey.

Victoria was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 33 & faced treatment related infertility. After a long surrogacy journey, she welcomed her first son via a surrogate earlier this year. 👶🏻 Victoria is about to start her second surrogacy journey with the surrogate’s twin sister! (HELLO LIFETIME MOVIE!)

Ann watched her mom battle breast cancer for a decade when she was a teenager, & thanks to high-risk screening, she was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer at age 36 during COVID.

After their own battles with breast cancer & infertility, they both wanted to give back in a tangible way. Together with friend Sarrah Strimel Bentley, also a young breast cancer thriver currently on her own surrogacy journey, they created A Damn Good Life to make surrogacy a reality for young breast cancer thrivers who do not have the financial resources themselves.

Thanks to tons of fundraising events & “lots of blood, sweat, & tears,” they will be gifting their first total surrogacy journey at the end of the month! The first round of applications are due Monday, April 10, but they plan to continue their mission

We talk about i their breast cancer & fertility journeys, why this organization is so near & dear to their heart, & their ideal grant candidate!

PATIENT 2 CAREGIVER: Live Life Like Jim (part 2️⃣)

Season 2 · Episode 21

Thursday, March 9, 2023 • Duration 36:35

This is part ✌️ of my incredible conversion with my friend, Kristina Burke, on navigating the complexities of a cancer diagnosis as both a patient & caregiver (if you missed part ☝️- start there!). Trigger alert, this is a heartbreaking but very important conversation. 💔

Kristina was battling her own breast cancer diagnosis when her beloved husband, Jim Burke, a young, previously healthy, renowned chef at Wm. Mulherin & Sons, was diagnosed with a rare form of metastatic lung cancer (EGFR positive). 🥺

We reflect on how they navigated cancer together with their young family, & Kristina offers incredible insight on how to advocate for yourself & others. Sadly, Jim lost his 2-year battle with lung cancer a few months back at the age of 49. 🥺😭

We reflect on Jim’s life, legacy, moving through grief, & how the Philadelphia culinary community came together to support Team Burke. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it. 😘

I am truly grateful to Kristina for sharing their incredible story and hope you benefit from this conversation. ❤️‍🩹

Season 2 · Episode 20

Monday, February 27, 2023 • Duration 36:40

Earlier this week was National Caregivers Day, a day to honor the incredible sacrifices that Caregivers make for their loved ones.

This is the perfect opportunity to share this two-part conversation with my dear friend, Kristina Burke, on navigating the complexities of a cancer diagnosis as both a patient & caregiver. Trigger alert, this is a heartbreaking but very important conversation. 💔

Kristina was diagnosed with breast cancer off a screening mammogram in her 40s despite having no known family history. While undergoing her own breast cancer treatment during the pandemic, the unthinkable happened. Her husband, Jim Burke, a young, previously healthy, renowned Philadelphia chef at Wm. Mulherin & Sons, was diagnosed with a

rare form of metastatic lung cancer (EGFR positive). 🥺

We check in on Team Burke & reflect on the past few years. Tune back for part ✌️ of this incredible combo as we reflect on Jim’s life, legacy, & moving through grief. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it. 😘

I am truly grateful to Kristina for sharing their incredible story and hope you benefit from this conversation. ❤️‍🩹
