Breast Cancer is a beast.

The Paid Leave Podcast

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is great to have a month that highlights a disease, and brings awareness about prevention, treatment and survival. The fact remains that one out of every 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. CT Paid Leave gives up to 12 weeks of income replacement, so you can take time away from work to deal with your own serious health condition or that of a loved one. This allows you to focus on your diagnosis, treatment plan and healing and not worry about your finances.
The expert on this topic is breast surgeon Dr. Kertrisa McWhite. She is a fellowship-trained breast surgeon at the Middlesex Health Surgical Alliance and the Comprehensive Breast Center. She talks about prevention, screenings and how treatments have improved survival rates even in the last 10 years. She talks about why it's important to have a good support system with a diagnosis and to seek behavioral health professionals if you need to. She is hopeful that there will one day be a cure for breast cancer.
