Rachel Van Stratton-Kirk is a medical device marketing leader from Orange County, California.  She was diagnosed at 35 with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) not long after her initial stage I diagnosis.  Rachel is the third generation of her family to receive a breast cancer diagnosis.  In this episode Rachel reads her essay “Time” from the 2023 “Five Years & Counting” issue of Wildfire Magazine.  It is a piece about beating statistics and the lightness of embracing flat closure.  April and Rachel will discuss putting thoughts into words to express what you really need to say, Rachel’s MBC statistics, who to trust when sharing about your cancer both professionally and personally, thoughts on caregivers, and explanting implants.  They will also talk about the concept of time after a cancer diagnosis.
