From RN to Patient: Navigating Breast Cancer with Natalie D'Itri

Being a nurse was the easy part compared to being a patient. Natalie D'Itri was an educator and was involved in oncology research as an RN. What she didn't anticipate was being a patient and learning how to navigate the healthcare system in a totally different capacity. In this week's episode, Beth talks with Natalie about her journey with breast cancer, from both perspectives – patient and nurse.

Last season, we heard from Natalie as the podcast host of CareerWise Nurse. This season, she returns to discuss her life after a breast cancer diagnosis. From this experience, Natalie has started a podcast called Breast Cancer Life, where you can hear her personal story about what she endured from diagnosis through her treatment.

Natalie approaches this episode with humility, education, and newfound compassion for the patients going through the same experiences she has endured. Check out her podcast to learn more about her story.
