For my second BCA episode, I came in contact with Deb Kirkland through the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and it was an honor to have her on the podcast! Deb is a breast cancer survivor who dedicates her life to breast cancer advocacy by being a part of the Young Survivor Coalition, a former advocate reviewer for the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the DoD, and is currently working in the Mercy Hospital in Baltimore Maryland. There are several important links below about self assessment, the young survival coalition and metastatic breast cancer! Furthermore, the timestamps for the episode are below!
