Season 1, Episode 6: Paige More

Cancer, Casually

This week we sit down with Paige More, a young woman who proves you can move mountains, even ones beginning with C. Paige is a breast cancer previvor and one of the co-founders of the non-profit, The Breasties. But what is a previvor anyway you ask? A previvor is a person with a predisposition to cancer that hasn’t actually had the disease. In Paige’s case, she made a decision to have a preventative double mastectomy after finding out she was a carrier of the BRCA1 gene mutation which drastically increases the risk of getting cancer later in life. This crystallized her path and she knew it was her mission to be of guidance to those who were once in her shoes. If you’re looking for a podcast that’s all about taking charge of life, health, and yes, even tackling cancer with as much grit, kindness, and sisterhood as you can muster, this one's for you.
