breast cancer survivor who shares lessons learned and progress
made
BURLINGTON, Vt., Sept. 22,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Breast cancer survivor
Ellen Albertson, a
psychologist, registered dietician, and national board-certified
health and wellness coach, will mark the 35th
anniversary of the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month by making
the subject the focus throughout October on her weekly "Rock Your
Midlife" radio program, available on Voice America. The show airs
live from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern on
Wednesdays; available on all major podcast platforms, it reaches a
global audience that includes the U.S., UK, China, Greece, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Ukraine, Russia, Chile, Japan,
New Zealand, and Spain.
Dr. Ellen, the author of Rock Your Midlife: 7 Steps to
Transform Yourself and Make Your Next Chapter Your Best
Chapter, now knows that a breast cancer diagnosis can
happen to anyone — even someone like her who had no family
history of the disease and was living a healthy lifestyle. Luckily,
her diagnosis was made early (1A) and within 30 days of beginning
treatment she was in remission without losing her hair. What Dr.
Ellen did not know was that she carries a BRCA mutation and that in
combination with dense breasts increased her risk for the
disease.
She wants people to know that even as President Biden announced
the Cancer Moonshot program, substantial progress has already been
made on the treatment options and survival rates of breast cancer
patients. She points out that the five-year survival rate for
patients with early diagnosis is now 99% and the overall death rate
has decreased by 1% per year from 2013 to 2018, the result of
treatment advances and earlier detection through screening.
In an interview, she can talk about:
- Warning signs women may miss and the importance of early
detection
- How to advocate for yourself and incorporate both complementary
and conventional treatments
- Lifestyle changes to make
- The power of a positive mindset
