About this listen

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and so on this episode of Weaning It, Erin sits down with her friend Caitlin LoCascio-King who is a veteran breastfeeding mom of 4, a lawyer and business woman who had a double mastectomy earlier this year.

Caitlin shares her four different breastfeeding experiences, two of which extended beyond a year.

She then explains how her family history of cancer prompted her to begin getting routine mammograms and breast MRIs before the age of 40 and how doing so resulted in a double mastectomy.

She shares her health journey over the last year and how being a breast-feeding mom influenced her perception of her surgery.
