Description

This week Jamie talks with Jessica Baladad, a young breast cancer survivor who is the first to create a self-breast exam app that shows users how to do a self-breast exam, allowing them to monitor and track their changes and lets them set monthly reminders. The app is called Feel For Your Life, and it’s been downloaded more than 7,000 times over the past 6 weeks. Jessica was inspired to create the app after her experience with breast cancer — a nurse practitioner ignored a lump in her breast, but self-exam ended up saving her life at 33 years old.  After going through 16 rounds of chemo, 24 rounds of radiation, a double mastectomy, a hysterectomy and a 10-hour flap reconstruction, Jessica spent life in remission encouraging other women to do self-breast exams and be their best medical advocates. She’s also working with her state senator in Tennessee to write a bill that would require schools to teach students about breast exams, testicular exams and skin exams at age-appropriate levels.  They discuss Jessica's breast cancer journey and how the app and bill came to fruition - she's truly a warrior and amazing person - this episode will inspire everyone!
