Jenna McCarthy

Episode 326

When the scariest thing happens and you get through it, you realize that you’re stronger than you ever thought you could be. -Jenna McCarthy

 

Making that appointment to schedule her first mammogram was on Jenna McCarthy’s mind for a while.    At 41, she just wanted to get it over with and “check that box.”  What she didn’t expect was what happened next.   In this up-close and personal interview, Jenna shares her diagnosis with DCIS, or ductal carcinoma in situ, an early-stage breast cancer.  The mother of 4-year-old twin boys and a 9-year-old daughter, Jenna was more concerned about their state of mind than her own.  Surrounded by a large and supportive extended family, she had a double mastectomy and implants just 3 months ago and is now cancer-free.    In this interview, Jenna gives thanks to the Ellie Fund elliefund.org, a local non-profit devoted to supporting breast cancer patients by funding care and providing hope.  Determined to spread the word about early detection, Jenna says, “Schedule your mammogram today.  What if I had waited another year?   If there were some way to know that a person hearing my story went out and got her mammogram, I would heal so much.”   #breastcancerawareness  #mammogram #thestorybehindhersuccess
