Episodes
‘Nother Nature
April 18, 2024 05:28 - 1 hour - 108 MBExtra! Extra! Stef’s coming out of the Emetophobia closet—just as Amy’s out of the bathroom holding the dreaded bowl. In even more disgusting news, we’re telling you about the Portland pathologist whose benign results are anything but. Grab your barf bags for this news report. (Note: the count is now up to 12 patients.) Then, Letters hurls us into the guilt, recurrence fear, and uncertainty of survivorship. One thing is certain, though: RATS have infested Amy’s (other) ducts and the only thi...
Stars: They’re Just Like Us!
March 26, 2024 01:15 - 37 minutes - 53.2 MBAlert! Alert! This is NOT a test of the emergency cancer broadcast system. Tumour has it that the worst club with the best members has a new recruit from across the pond and we’re having a chin wag about it. The gals share differing opinions on keeping an illness under royal wraps, but we can all agree that nobody’s hiring Kate’s PR team. What do other cancer commoners think about all this? Well, we’ll tell you. From triggered to intrigued, our listeners’ responses run the gamut. And what’s ...
Cancer for Breakfast Second Opinion: Flora
March 11, 2024 01:24 - 52 minutes - 76.8 MBIt’s time for another Second Opinion! This one features friend of the podcast Flora, a metastatic PNET patient with an unexpected new living situation. First, hear the real deal about PNETs (Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor). She’ll tell us just how this wacky cancer functions, where you’ve heard of it, and why it’s an insidious foe. Then, put the mirrors on the ceiling and pop some pink champagne on ice! Flora generously tells us how surprising it is when hospice is (literally AND figurative...
Nothingburger
January 20, 2024 04:41 - 57 minutes - 93.6 MBHere’s the (sacred) dirt! Stef’s got a scan update, and it’s hard to node what to think! Is it cancer—or just a socially starved coworker? The trials and tribulations never end! Amy’s had a (don’t worry) breast biopsy (it’s not what it sounds like) and boy is this room dimly lit. Perhaps she needs an EMBER to light things up. In RATS, cancer cells in space grow at the figurative speed of light. Hey, some of us go to the moon to study cancer, and some of us just get cancer and go on NPR— gues...
Close Your Bones
December 02, 2023 00:44 - 1 hour - 104 MBClose Your Bones In the final chapter of our ongoing financial roller coaster, a hero arrives—in a white coat, not a cape. It’s a bird, it’s a plane…actually, is that Air Force One?! Then, a letter from a rectal cancer survivor whose fertility didn’t make it. How do we honor that grief and explore closure (literally)? Stef outs herself as a full moon hippie (we knew it, didn’t we, listeners?) and Amy’s biting on others’ cultural rituals? Amy! We’ve talked about this! Then, a *deeply* touchy...
The Downward Spiral
October 25, 2023 23:29 - 52 minutes - 82.2 MBThe Downward Spiral The cycle continues! Spin™️ Teachers — They’re Just Like Us! and Amy’s wheels are spinning. Stef’s got a twinge of doubt about how her upcoming scan will pan out, but two things are for sure: bills are high and morale is low going into this one. The gals remember a few fallen friends whose losses are looming large. Luckily, a letter writer brings us her ritual to combat scanxiety, along with a few examples of what not to say. RATS discusses new findings about cancer in ...
Canned Goods for Breakfast
September 08, 2023 15:00 - 39 minutes - 27.1 MBRyze and shine, it’s ya gals and we’re talking scans, soccer, and sucralose. Maybe it’s a rant, but for real: when food is sneaky about taste or ingredients, it just makes us mad. Stef’s heading off to the Lobular Breast Cancer Symposium as a patient advocate. Will she see Dr. Otto Metzger and offer him a jar of her famous canned pears? Can he call Fred Hutch about her medical debt? Only time will tell. We’re throwing caution to the wind, splashing out and taking the Breast Cancer Caravan to...
Therapissed
July 25, 2023 06:00 - 40 minutes - 28.2 MBWhat’s the recommended jail time for therapists who unexpectedly quit on their patients? Asking for Stef, who is in the dumps about being dumped. We hear from listeners about their therapy experiences good and bad (and we mean bad….). Is cancer the answer? Obviously not, but maybe slime is. Speaking of bad experiences, having cancer while fat might just take the cake. In letters, we get an update from Mama Mia’s daughter who Adi-poses the question: will Stef cover the protective quality of a...
The Slightest Scientific Inexactitude
June 23, 2023 22:00 - 42 minutes - 28.9 MBAre you kitting? Stef is off to the YMCA with her locker full of accoutrements, and Amy’s off the sauce and full of fast ideas. Letters ask why cancer muggles are always lionizing squeaky clean marathon runners, and we ask back: why are centenarians celebrated for their daily dram of whiskey or pack of smokes while carcinomies are assumed to be sinning lushes? Finally, our pests remain uncontrolled (sorry Brandon), and they’re pumped about Dr Hadiya Nicole Green. Can boiling hot nanoparticl...
Haute Suture
May 09, 2023 00:00 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBIt’s a-me, Mario… wait no. It’s just us, Stef and Amy. While recovering from surgery—Stef’s on a side quest! Her new video game pastime is helping her heal in more ways than one. Another character (Amy) shares listener letters that cover everything from a Molly Shannon cancer flick review to more of that relatable scanxiety. Then, a diagnosing doc’s perplexing recommendation to a listener’s Italian mama has us hauling out our soapboxes once again. Mamma Mia, indeed! RATS sets aside the deep ...
Cancer for Breakfast Second Opinion: Holly Raines
April 12, 2023 06:00 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MBWhen fate (or 23 and Me) intervenes at the eleventh hour, do you open your heart to new experiences or continue searching for an AirBnB to pass away in? It’s the premiere of Second Opinion: our conversations with the cancer people, experts and innovators that excite us. Up first: Holly Raines. A talented photographer, a cool mom, and a woman with end stage cervical cancer, Holly tells Stef about the stunning conversation that made her delay her choice to die with dignity in favor of living w...
A Closet Full of Shoes
March 18, 2023 20:00 - 53 minutes - 37.1 MBStef’s back from the YSC Summit and Amy has a giggle at the expense of Laughter Yoga. Fun in public really gets Stef’s goat. Then, what’s the deal with longevity? Perhaps the Seventh Day Adventists can spill the beans…or at least share them? Next, it’s our *privilege* to read a letter from a listener that holds a mirror up to cancer spaces and asks why we’re all so eager to get back to our old bodies—weren’t they trying to kill us?? Here’s the skinny; it’s time for everyone to start reading ...
Live from the YSC Summit 2023!
February 20, 2023 14:00 - 58 minutes - 40.3 MBThe cat’s out of the bag and the co-host is in another state (we miss you, Amy!!), but we’re making it work with some pals old and new. If you can believe it, we nabbed Thriver Writer, survivor and recent divorcée (keep reading; it’s relevant) Meghan McCallum! Joining us too: producer, co-survivor and husband extraordinaire Nathan McGehee. The convo? Relationships of all flavors, with some live letters that brought the house down. How do you get your mojo back when the hormones aren’t flowin...
On the Road: Queen City
February 18, 2023 05:00 - 4 minutes - 3.18 MBWe’re on assignment, in the field, and coming to you LIVE…actually, RECORDED from the Young Survival Coalition Summit 2023! Charlotte, North Carolina aka The Queen City is swarming with breast cancer royalty! But wait just a ding dang minute: who’s that on the mic?

The episode will show up in our feed soon! Hosted on Acast. Se...
Breakdown or Breakthrough
February 06, 2023 00:00 - 36 minutes - 25.1 MBKnock Knock, who’s there? Intrusive thoughts, and they’re living rent free. Amy’s brain won’t let her break up with breast cancer no matter how many private yoga sessions or massages she has in one day. Time to sublet her space in Cancerland! In letters, the gals read a helpful note from a longtime pal of the podcast who wants to make sure we’re giving religious listeners a fair shake. You can take the cancer out of the heathens, but you can’t take the heathens out of cancer. A promising sci...
We love you, Margaret!
February 03, 2023 07:00 - 13 minutes - 9.5 MBIt’s an update! We‘ve got episodes in the can and an explanation for our absence. Don’t worry, everything’s stable in cancer land! But Stef’s sudden indigestion? There’s an explanation for that, too. Young Survivors, assemble! The Summit is straight ahead, and we’re strapping on our gear. 2023, you’re a formidable opponent already. Meet us at the YSC Summit! https://summit.youngsurvival.org/

Days of our Labs
December 10, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 41.3 MBCall the paps! Today we’ve got a smear campaign and it’s all about the CervicalCheck scandal. Our leading lady is whistleblower Vicky Phelan. A criminally incompetent lab in Texas and a negligent cover up that’s costing lives? Salt in the wound, indeed. And speaking of cancer scams (our Favre-ite kind of gossip), is sodium the cure-all or just another one of Stefano’s snake oils? Listener letters ask: why is real support so hard to find in a group? And is replacing a beloved care provider-tu...
Escape From October II: The Novembering
December 01, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 42 MBIt’s baaaack…by popular demand! The very jewel of our franchise that drops but once a year, it’s the creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky Escape from October! This time, we’ve escaped so thoroughly that it’s practically December! Gather ‘round: it’s time for one whole episode with no evidence of disease. This year we waste no time chilling you to the bone. Is that grandma giving you a jingle from the great beyond? Who is that judgmental presence refusing to let you play model trains in peace?...
Free Range Snails
November 24, 2022 07:00 - 57 minutes - 39.8 MBFetch your earbuds! It’s time for a new episode of the pupcast—woof, we mean PODcast. But really, our dogs are barkin’ and for once that isn’t a euphemism for med-induced foot pain. No, we’re talking a beautiful Mitzvah, here! Then, Amy gets a wicked case of stage fright as she MyChart dives into some scan results that send her into a panic with nary a disco in sight, while Stef recaps her wedding to that same old guy and her scan with the same old results. Mazel tov! A listener letter has t...
Club Med
September 29, 2022 00:00 - 50 minutes - 34.8 MBSometimes it’s cancer, sometimes it’s a bad burrito, y’all! Stef lives to tell the tale of her ascites scare. Turns out having a body is stressful…and expensive! The gals talk medical debt and financial toxicity. When insurance still makes you pay thousands for necessary care, how do you stay afloat? Speaking of grifts…we mean GRAFTS…Amy took a trip to her fat grafting surgery and all she got was this lousy dysmorphia. Do her boobs look great now, or is she their Only Fan? Then, to really b...
Dick’s Sporting Tumor
August 27, 2022 04:00 - 41 minutes - 28.7 MBOh…my…god, Becky! Look at her…tumor? It’s the dog days of summer and Amy is fostering an awkward mix up. Never fear, she fetches her cancer card to pay the price. Letters brings us a manic pixie dream mom—make that MEAN mom—who’s tactlessly longing for a listener’s old hair. Then, a self sufficient carcinomie admits she is struggling. Does anyone have a spoon? RATS explores a rectal cancer study. (Yes, THAT one.) Then, we celebrate a special grad with a big ol’ correction. Send us your lett...
(A)live and Unscripted
August 16, 2022 04:00 - 50 minutes - 34.8 MBListen, sometimes the summer just gets away from you and people start to be concerned that you’ve either quit your cancer podcast or died. If that’s you, no judgment. Amy and Stef, however, would NEVER abandon their loyal listeners for two months to live their best parasol-twirling, innertubing, redwood hugging, concert-in-the-parking, WNBA gaming (go Storm!!) lives. Salad days, amirite? (Seriously, am I?) So…anyway…the gals are back with new scan results and some dirt to dish. Stef’s kids ...

Tin Roof! Busted.
June 15, 2022 23:00 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MBDad’s mad and he’s taking it out on…cancer patients? Well, what else is new? The ASCO conference, that’s what! They didn’t let us report from the red carpet, but you know it was our DESTINY to get the hot goss on the presentations that brought down the house. And that’s a RATS. Then, what’s a gal to do after cancer derails her well thought out plans? Picking up the pieces can leave some of us feeling a little lost. Maybe we could all benefit from a lesson in habit stacking? In letters, a lis...
Grey’s Skies
May 18, 2022 23:00 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MBInna gadda da vida, baby: Amy’s got a sexy cold and a silly new anti-spiral technique, and Stef’s nether region is superlative. That’s to say the gals are in a good place right now, and we’re calling it “on base.” Can we enjoy the break before having to run for our lives (or the car) again? Maybe every cloud really does have a silver lining. Then, it’s the season of the con and the cancer community is not immune. From Hollywood hucksters to Facebook fakers, we like the stories but hate the m...
The Ann of Podcasts
April 25, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 49.1 MBAmy’s got some gall! Gall bladder problems, that is…or does she? When Carmen SanDiego isn’t available, we attempt to solve our own medical mysteries. Where have our once healthy and simple bodies gone? From channeling Maris to vibing with …her? Turns out we’ve made a huge mistake (by not getting into webinars sooner!!). Then, Stef just can’t wait to die…we mean DYE. The gals talk art therapy, the art of talk therapy, and a sweet scarf gesture for a friend. Listener letters want to know just...

The Center for Dreams and Nightmares
April 05, 2022 02:00 - 1 hour - 44.9 MBRed rover, red rover, send Stef’s therapist on over... to the cancer-adjacent club no one wants to be in. When our care providers’ loved ones get cancer, do they also get the keys to our kingdom…or is it an excuse to bail? Then: we’ve got dream fever, dream weavers. Prodromal, premonitions, or plain old nightmares—is this how our unaddressed ailments have tried to reveal themselves? And would you believe we have a Sister Act, too? We’re Back in the Habit—of analyzing the complications of can...
Punk, Monk, Cancer
March 19, 2022 01:00 - 52 minutes - 35.9 MBSometimes you just want to take a break from life at the cancer clinic™️, but everything aligns to kill your vibe! What does Stef have to do to get a little cryoablation around here? Luckily, a nurse saves the day by sharing a picture of their crispy lady. Meanwhile, Amy has a very zen beer with a smooth headed spiritual stranger. F/M/K? FML! How messed up IS it that some of us actually…kinda…find comfort in getting treatment? A surprise reunion with the chemo chair has Amy looking back fond...
The Chicken is OK: One Year of Cancer for Breakfast
March 03, 2022 04:00 - 47 minutes - 32.6 MBIt’s our birthday, and we’ll cry (in our nightgowns) if we want to! Happy tears, that is, because today our podcast turns ONE! So grab a slice of cake and cuddle in, dear listeners. We’re taking some time to acknowledge just how far we’ve come, AND offer big gratitude to the Cancer for Breakfast community; y’all put so much gas in our tank. As a present to our producer, we’re giving him the day off—that’s one day off a year, folks—and this entire episode is coming to you unedited, so pardon ...
Johnny California’s Hyperbolic Chamber
February 24, 2022 01:00 - 55 minutes - 38.4 MBAmy’s not letting medical trauma ruin her relationship with her ear nose and throat doctor. She has a method to banish the anxiety and intrusive thoughts that now appear at “normal” appointments. And on a related note, if a sinus surgery falls in the forest and it’s not cancer, does it even really matter? Move over Ebert, Stef’s been dipping toes in some death-themed TV shows and she’s ready to share her reviews. Then, what’s the deal with the health care money grab of concierge medicine an...
On Becoming Lava Lamps
February 14, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 47 MBAlternative Death: it’s not just an underground music genre! We’re talking death rites, honeys, so cover your mirrors! Whether you’ve prepaid for a satin lined coffin or you’re a green-curious pre-deceased, we’ve got hot tips on the right heat for human composting. Stef also has the score on death doulas, aquamation (not just for cadavers anymore!), and a dinner date to detail your death wishes. Pass the salt! Amy’s ready to bring her “living graveyard” idea to market—maybe even in her own ...
Carebears Bare All
January 30, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 53.4 MBCaregivers: how are you holding up? This one goes out to you. With cancer people, it’s nothing but me, me, me (at least on this podcast!), and we guess it’s about time our spouses, family, and best friends got their due. But first, Amy is shocked to find out how much her post-chemo hair is worth, and Stef’s getting a cancer tattoo for no reason at all. Does the milestone or the money mean more pressure? The gals revisit a part-time bodybuilder, full-time smart guy who’s helping to develop ErS...

Winter’s Bone(heads)
December 26, 2021 05:00 - 49 minutes - 33.9 MBMerry Christmas and F*** Cancer to all who celebrate! Right off the bat, CW: there have been some huge losses in the MBC community and we address this early in the episode; feel free to skip ahead a bit if you need. Then, Amy’s talkin’ bout Pollyanne from Spokane and her psychic (or just practical?) friend. Speaking of friends, Muggles: they say the darndest things! (And the gals have the letters AND Facebook fights to prove it.) RATS wraps things up with the skinny on Fucoidan—is it too good...
Now That’s What I Call Bitchfest Vol. 2
December 13, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 54.4 MBMay the airing of grievances commence, bitches! It’s the second edition of Cancer for Bitchfest and our listeners didn’t hold their tongues. From chemo’s metal mouth to friends who siphon your trauma for likes, this episode is jam-packed with WTF moments. When the hurt goes further than skin deep and you need more than a moisturizer, how do you keep looking in the mirror? And when your treatment spares your hair, who will spare you the imposter syndrome? Then: all hail the patron saint of CfB...
Reoccurring Nightmare
November 26, 2021 18:00 - 1 hour - 47.3 MBWhat’s that weird scratching noise nobody else can hear? It’s FEAR OF RECURRENCE. Because for some people? That scratching actually IS a hook-handed murderer. This week, the gals are getting real about medical PTSD, random pains, and faking your way through celebratory shots with your muggle friends. If you’re officially NED but still on a first name basis with the schedulers at your hospital, this episode is for you. Survivorship isn’t always all it’s cracked up to be—could it even be MORE s...
Back on Our Bullsh*t
November 20, 2021 03:00 - 45 minutes - 31.4 MBLike sands through the hourglass and neutrophils toward inflammation, the seasons come at you fast, and Amy and Stef are proud to announce…season TWO of Cancer for Breakfast! We’ve got support groups to promote, new partnerships, and as always, plenty of RATS. This week we ask: what’s the dirt on St. Judas—pardon me—we mean St. Jude’s! Well, Jennifer Aniston and her army of cancer researchers are sitting on literal billions while parents sleep in the pediatric parking lot. ProPublica may have...

Escape from October
October 28, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MBIt’s spooky season, so get your goosebumps ready as we drum up a fright. We all need a break from cancer’s ominous ubiquity (especially during Pinktober) so we’re offering you an escape. That’s right—this episode has NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE. Instead, the gals proudly present stories from behind the thinning veil: ghost tales extracted from friends and listeners. It’s nothing but ghosts and goblins all episode, backed with tunes by Mr. Uncanny Valley himself, Corey J Brewer. You’ll scream, you...

The Metastatisode
October 12, 2021 18:00 - 1 hour - 52.5 MBWho would want to listen to a podcast about stage 4 cancer? …You? Oh, well, great. If you’re newly diagnosed (and even if you’re an old hat), this one’s for you next levelers. Word up, babes: it’s the metastatisode. Stef shares her collection of wisdom for the freshly chronic/metastatic/stage 4/advanced cancer people. It means different things to different folks, but we all understand it as the ~*scary kind*~. We’re in it for the long haul—with cancer and with you, from gofundme to freewill ...
Marlboro Pinks: The Thing About Komen

Komen. First, though, join us for a quick bummer chat. We’ve all lost friends to this dumb disease. It’s what makes cancer so scary, after all—for some of us, it’s deadly. Are the unique connections we make with other cancer people worth it when you know their friendship might be a limited time offer? Obviously, we say yes. Then, it’s b...

Birthdays and Battle Ground
September 18, 2021 00:00 - 49 minutes - 34 MBIt’s another recording studio rendezvous and the gals are calling this one a win. As we prep for a pinkwashed October, we have some updates on #screamingforscreening; meanwhile the ACS is too busy following Family Feud and the Kardashians’ social media but like, hardly any cancer people? We call bullshit, and we’ve got the receipts…and the scripts. Then! It’s still Virgo season, babes, and September is a big month for us. We’re expanding on last episode by taking a closer look at milestones:...

Snoop’s $$$ Unicorn Cake
September 12, 2021 04:00 - 52 minutes - 35.9 MBIs Stef a bad mom? Spoiler: nope! But she IS sending her (masked) kids to school, and people are sending HER concerned emails. Can the muggles just let us live? NEXT!!! Next, is your Cancerversary a celebration of how far you’ve come, or a dreaded countdown clock? Stef’s just crossing that one year mark this week and the emotions are mixed. We’ll have more on milestones next week, but whether you lean in or lean out, it’s a complicated time stamp.
