Willow is best in class among breast cancer education and support organizations providing all Canadians affected by the disease with timely and relevant information, education and unique peer support. This helps empower them to make better decisions, support their loved ones more effectively and navigate the complex health care system with greater confidence.

What is it like to tell co-workers you have breast cancer? How do you deal with a recurrence? How does the disease affect the women who have it, their families and co-workers? A new podcast series produced by Willow and GCI gives an intimate look at the lives of those affected by the disease in their own words and voices.

Beginning May 3, a different podcast will be posted every six weeks, each providing a unique perspective on what it means to be touched by the disease. The series will include a wide range of perspectives including survivors, Willow support volunteers and staff, doctors, and family members of those living with breast cancer.

The first podcast features the story of Anne Dello, a breast cancer survivor who discusses the challenges she faced when she was first diagnosed. "and I said 'am I going to die?' She (the doctor) sat there and said, 'well I don't know'," Anne recalls in the opening of the podcast.
