Host, Laura Susic, recently underwent genetic counseling – which resulted in her qualification for increased screenings. In this bonus episode, Laura shares the anxiety and stress she felt when Washington University physicians found a suspicious lump during her first breast MRI. Laura relates to co-host, Patrick, about the agony of waiting for the biopsy results and the fear of hearing, “This is Cancer.”
