When We Had Cancer

2: Susan Banta

Episode Summary

Not a “survivor" and technically not said to be in remission either, Susan has been N.E.D. ("no evidence of disease") since her last surgery in January 2017. A local from northwest D.C. and the mother of Sarah’s childhood friend, Isabel, Susan shares her story about how a rare breast cancer diagnosis days after President Trump’s election was tackled pragmatically with the support of family, friends, and the January Ladies.
