Erica Neubert Campbell was happily going about her mommy, wife and business lives when her breast Cancer diagnosis arrived. It wasn’t unexpected. Her mom had died of breast cancer years earlier.  What was unexpected was that doctors could only give her medical details.

Erica opted for double mastectomy and decided to chronicle – with photographs – the approximately 18 months she and her breasts endured her journey.

Today Erica discusses:

• Her mom
• Lumpectomies and mastectomies
• The diagnosis and her children
• The BRCA gene
• Excerpt: “Deciding what to do next Is like choosing a deadly weapon When I didn’t pick the battle.”
• The decision to have implants
• The book that grew out of her journals and photos

As always, I ask Erica what I haven’t asked her that she wants women to know – her answer to that makes this conversation even more worth listening to.

Agnes Knowles Podcaster

I’ve probably done most of the things you expect a woman my age to have done: married and divorced; three children; variety of jobs over the years including a couple of home-based businesses and, finally, a pretty good career; gave up that career (and home and life) to move and take care of a dementing mother; adult daughter moved back home with a baby; financial struggles; sucker-punched by the post-2007 economy. You tell a similar story.

My podcast is for Boomer Women. A variety of subjects, a variety of viewpoints... and open to suggestions if I'm not covering a topic you want to hear about.
