Why I Wore Lipstick To My Mastectomy

In today's episode, Matthew welcomes one of his nearest and dearest friends, Geralyn Lucas, whom he met in the earliest days of the nascent adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer movement circa 2004. Geralyn, a storied American journalist and television producer, had only recently survived breast cancer and released the infamously notorious book, "Why I Wore Lipstick To My Mastectomy," which was adapted shortly after into a Lifetime television show soon after. As one of the first published authors who unapologetically interjected humor and snark into her story, Geralyn solidified herself as an authentic origin story influencer of AYA culture and paved the way for others to usher un a new era of patient empowerment and cancer survivorship.
