Dr. Sue Hwang spent years treating breast cancer patients — until she became one herself. In this powerful episode, Jaime Catmull sits down with breast cancer specialist Dr. Sue Hwang to discuss her shocking cancer diagnosis after a routine mammogram revealed multiple tumors just one year after a clear screening.
Dr. Hwang opens up about the emotional reality of undergoing chemotherapy while continuing to treat patients, navigating hair loss, raising three children during cancer treatment, and facing the fear and uncertainty she once helped her own patients manage every day.
The conversation also explores how AI is transforming cancer diagnosis and treatment, why second opinions can save lives, the importance of mammograms and early breast cancer detection, and the lifestyle changes Dr. Hwang now believes can help reduce recurrence risk after treatment.
