A passing comment at an ultrasound, that I didn’t think anything of to sitting in a conference room years later, going into a full state of panic. Dense breasts. Not a term that I knew anything about, yet, having them increases my chance of getting breast cancer 4-6X, AND breast cancer within dense breasts is often undetectable within regular mammograms, putting women with dense breasts at even higher risk.
Breast Cancer is something that is very present in my life today, with a number of very dear friends having been diagnosed in the last few years. All women in their late 30s, early 40s.
Todays conversation with Adrian Waller is one that I think all women need to hear. Not to freak anyone out, but to help them understand and advocate for themselves.

Why Aren’t We Talking About This? is a series of honest conversations about the stuff we rarely discuss but probably should - big feelings, weird thoughts, life, death, and all the messy, beautiful parts of being human.
Hosted by me, Carly Osman-Holme, on a quest to dodge a full-blown existential crisis. I’ve reached that point in life where I’m asking the big questions: How did I get here? What do I actually want? And why didn’t they teach us any of this in school?
