A cancer diagnosis can feel like a profound betrayal, but for many young adults (AYA), that betrayal deepens with an infertility diagnosis. In this deeply personal and informative discussion, we explore the unique fertility challenges faced by those diagnosed with cancer under 40 for both male-at-birth and female-at-birth individuals. Guests Megan Scherer, Executive Director & Co-Founder of the nonprofit Worth the Wait, and Kara Bendle, an RN and Program Manager for AYA and Fertility Preservation at the Cleveland Clinic, talk about the complexities of family building after an AYA cancer diagnosis. They also dive into the emotional and financial barriers of fertility preservation, the misconceptions surrounding male fertility, and how societal expectations impact female patients’ sense of self-worth. This conversation also sheds light on the unspoken anxieties of survivorship and parenting after cancer. Whether you’re a patient, survivor, partner, or advocate, this discussion offers valuable insights and key takeaways to help navigate fertility concerns in the AYA cancer community.

Guest Haley Pollack knows the deep impact of cancer — first as a daughter, then as a mother. After her mom died of breast cancer during her 20s, Haley faced her own colon cancer diagnosis at 37, just months after giving birth to her second daughter. In this heartfelt conversation, she opens up about navigating motherhood and cancer, the pain of stopping breastfeeding due to treatment, and the loneliness of not finding resources for young parents like her. Haley also shares how a connection with another young mom with cancer led to co-founding Bright Spot Network, a nonprofit that creates a safe space for young parents navigating cancer while raising small children, including those diagnosed during pregnancy. Haley reflects vulnerably on how her mother’s cancer experience shaped her own, the unexpected ways grief evolves, and the long journey to forgiving her younger self for how she coped during her mom’s illness. Together, we explore grief, legacy, and the importance of being gentle with our past selves. Learn more about Bright Spot Network here . Resources: Bright Spot Network…
French-born beauty restoration expert Delphine Breyne knows firsthand the power of appearance in self-confidence. As the youngest of eight in a family with a strong history of breast cancer, she underwent genetic testing and remains vigilant about her health. Her deep personal connection to breast cancer fuels her passion for helping others feel like themselves again. Born with a condition that prevents eyebrow growth, Delphine understands what it’s like when people assume you’re sick or tired based on your appearance. This experience, combined with her extensive training across Europe and the U.S.—holding over 22 certifications—led her to develop a technique called Restoration through Micropigmentation, a natural-looking alternative to microblading. In this episode, Delphine shares that eyebrows are more than just facial features—they symbolize communication and expression. She discusses how beauty restoration can be a powerful tool for breast cancer patients during and after treatment, offering them a renewed sense of confidence and self-care.

In 2013, Bobbie Menneg was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer and had 15 positive lymph nodes removed, but fortunately, did not develop lymphedema. With a strong family history of breast and kidney cancer, she hesitated to pursue genetic testing—until a doctor encouraged her to take the step. After falling down the "Dr. Google" rabbit hole, she realized it wasn't what she needed. Confident in her medical team, she fully trusted that they were providing the best possible care. Her message? Advocate for yourself, build a care team you trust, and always come prepared with questions for your doctors. Recognizing that many patients needed financial support beyond medical expenses, she founded Beyond the Ribbon . The organization helps ease the burden by covering everyday bills, providing medical equipment, and offering gift cards for groceries, gas, etc. She’s seen the stress visibly lift from patients’ shoulders as they receive much-needed support.…
Our guest, Cathy Leman, MA, RD, is a registered dietitian nutritionist with a specialty in eating disorders and an invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) breast cancer survivor. At the time of her diagnosis, Cathy had just completed the Chicago Half-Marathon and felt at the peak of her health—she was a personal trainer in addition to being a dietitian. Cancer, especially breast cancer, was the last thing on her mind given her active, healthy lifestyle, making the diagnosis all the more shocking. After completing surgery and 20 rounds of radiation- her surgery didn't require a reconstruction option; it required skin grafting to "rebuild" the area from where the tumor was removed -Cathy felt compelled to combine her personal experience with breast cancer and her professional expertise as a dietitian to help others navigate life after breast cancer. She recognized the unique challenges survivors face, particularly when their cancer is hormone-driven, and this led her to create the Peaceful Plate program, designed specifically for breast cancer survivors looking to make lifestyle changes and adopt healthier eating habits. In our conversation, we also explore the key differences between a registered dietitian and a nutritionist, along with their distinct specialties and how they can complement each other in patient care.

Imagine being just eight years old and seeing your mother disfigured from a Halstead radical mastectomy due to breast cancer because reconstruction wasn't an option back then. That was Deb Hackenberry’s first introduction to the harsh reality of breast cancer. Later in life, Deb would face her own diagnosis—very early-stage invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC)—largely due to her family history. But it wasn’t just her family history. Environmental factors such as living near factories in New York and being close to the World Trade Center during 9/11 also potentially played a role in her diagnosis. Motivated by her passion for research and compassion for others, Deb dedicated 14 years to volunteering at SHARE Cancer Support, leading a support group for DCIS patients, and assisting callers on the breast cancer patient support line. She also shares insights into where she is now on her advocacy journey. We are a podcast produced by SHARE Cancer Support.
