Each episode, hosts Joselyn and Lauren break down the highs and horrors of living with a breast cancer diagnosis. Unlike our boobs, the talk is 100% all natural realness. Whether you have cancer or someone you know has cancer or you’re just cancer curious, we’re glad you’re here. Because breast cancer is boring, but we (and you) are interesting.
