Key Takeaways:

Early Detection: The importance of regular self-examinations and biennial mammograms for women over 40 cannot be overstated.

Genetic Factors: While only 5-10% of breast cancer cases are due to genetic mutations like BRCA1 and BRCA2, knowing your family history and genetic risk is crucial.

Treatment Advances: Modern breast cancer treatments have significantly improved survival rates, with personalized treatment plans that involve surgery, chemotherapy, or other therapies based on individual cases.

Psychological Support: Emotional and psychological support, including access to breast care nurses and clinical psychologists, is an integral part of the cancer care process.

Multidisciplinary Care: A collaborative approach by a team of specialists ensures tailored and effective treatment plans for breast cancer patients.



Notable Quotes:

Dr. Patsy Soon: "As we get older, with the cells growing each time, there can be more mutations within the DNA of the cells, and then that predisposes to cancer formation."

Dr. Patsy Soon: "The two main risk factors for breast cancer are increasing age and being female."

Dr. Patsy Soon: "Having chemotherapy before operation definitely has advantages because it will show us how that particular woman's cancer will respond to the chemotherapy."

Dr. Patsy Soon: "Overall, the five-year survival for breast cancer in women is 92%, and 86% up to ten years."

She Wasn’t Born Yesterday tackles the many unique issues affecting women who are 40+ fabulous. No topic is too controversial!

She Wasn't Born Yesterday

How do you deal with the ‘pause’? How do you know you’re dating someone with a narcissistic personality disorder? How do you move on from divorce? Behind the scenes of a 40+ influencer and how to reverse the aging process, are just a few topics tackled.

SWBY features Janet Evans, an ex M&C Saatchi advertising creative and Dr Amelia Haines, a sexual and relationship therapist, who have written Australia’s first book on empty nest syndrome called Empty Next. A chance interview on radio station Hope 103.2 about the book inspired the podcast.

“So many unique issues affect women of our age, including empty nest syndrome, and nothing’s off limits in SWBY! We really dive headfirst into them, but hopefully with lightness and relevant wit where possible,” Janet commented. “We were incredibly lucky to chat to some very high profile guests, including CEOs of important organisations, who shared their expertise with us and our audience.”
