Life Well-Lived with Regina Topelson

Reconstructing Life After Breast Cancer with Kim Harms

Regina Topelson, RDN, CLT: Dietitian Nutritionist, Cancer Survivor, Health Champion Episode 43

For my guest Kim Harms, relationships played a big role in reconstructing her life after breast cancer. The relationships with her husband, three boys, parents and inlaws, friends, and community were instrumental in her recovery process. We talked all about how to talk to your children about a cancer diagnosis, how to grow with your partner/spouse through the process, and how it can be a source of personal growth for you personally.

We talked about Kim's newly released book, Life Reconstructed: Navigating the World of Mastectomies and Breast Reconstruction. There are so many choices to be made in regard to how to navigate all the treatments available, including mastectomy and reconstruction. The choices are more than personal, they also come with expected and unexpected consequences.
