Tracy Cushing had been practicing emergency medicine for 19 years and then one day that shifted and she became a cancer patient. In this episode, Tracy reads her piece “What My Medical File Won’t Tell You” from Wildfire Magazine’s 2021 “Body” issue.  Tracy was diagnosed at 45 with Stage 2 lobular breast cancer. This is the story of one woman taking back her medical file to fill in the gaps, all the while asking how, as she dons the title of survivor, she can keep her identity as an athlete, too.  Tracy also talks with April about being lobular in a ductal focused treatment world, and her advocacy in the lobular breast cancer arena.  More about Tracy: https://www.instagram.com/tracycrushescancer/ and https://www.instagram.com/vegandoctormom/
