Hi, I'm Kara
I'm a 1 in 8. Diagnosed in September 2016 with stage 1 grade 3 breast cancer. I had a double mastectomy, 4 rounds of TC chemo, and reconstruction. I'm a long-time public radio and podcast producer. My latest project was launching the Hidden Brain podcast for NPR. Previous gigs include Senior Producer for NPR's Justice Talking, producing for NPR's weekend shows, and member station WUNC. I have a fabulously funny 9-year-old son and have been with my incredibly supportive husband Mike since high school.
Women sharing their breast cancer stories helped me be a more informed patient. I'm hoping this site can be a venue where survivors openly share their experiences in multi media forms, and a place where new patients can come for insight, love and even humor.
