When We Had Cancer

Season 2. 4: Deborah Clarkston

Episode Summary

Deborah, Deb, or Debby—depending on who you are—is a 5year cancer survivor from triple negative breast cancer, s/p double mastectomy. An ER/ICU nurse by training, Deborah took the diagnosis seriously: time to figure it out, get treatment, and move on. She now volunteers with the UVA Cancer Peer Support Group, along with Margarita (featured in S2E3), and also teaches/coordinates at a nursing program. Word of advice from Deborah, go schedule that mammogram! You'll thank yourself later!
