One of the first things we explain to someone newly diagnosed with breast cancer is the necessity to learn to be your own advocate.
What exactly does that mean?
Advocacy is the power and actions of an individual or group that aims to influence decisions. Being your own advocate means voicing your concerns, and not stopping until you feel heard and satisfied. For many of us diagnosed at a younger age, our first introduction into the healthcare system is dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis. When you’re frightened and overwhelmed, you have no idea what you need and how to even ask for it! Our Baddie Ambassador Miranda enlisted the help of the amazing @Trish_newyorkcity, one-half of the lovely ladies of @HipHopHappyHour, to see if we could capture just a small bit of some of the wonderful nuggets she has on survivorship and being a cancer advocate.
This past October, Trish shared a break-up experience on Instagram that she had with one of her doctors (and everything that led up to it) and showed that getting what you need as a patient can be as simple as a community-wide “Yelp” review to your doctor.
Guests:
Miranda Gonzales was misdiagnosed around her 40th birthday and then diagnosed 6 months later with stage III breast cancer. The youngest of her five children starting school coincided with the end of her active treatment, leaving her with free time to pursue a new path in life. For the past few years, Miranda has poured everything she has into connecting young women with support and resources, with a focus on under and uninsured women. You can follow her at: @mirlordehgon
You can catch Trish every Friday at 7PM ET on Instagram live with her partner in crime Tiff for Hip Hop Happy Hour where they play the jams, shoot the shit and even take a walk in the shame garden from time to time.
