When Breast Cancer Changes Everything — What Do You Build Next?


What happens when a breast cancer diagnosis strips away your identity — and forces you to rebuild from the inside out?


In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, Laura Carfang sits down with Christine Handy and Christine Anastos — two breast cancer survivors who turned trauma into transformation.


Christine Handy, former international model and author of Walk Beside Me (https://www.amazon.com/Walk-Beside-Me...) , opens up about:

• Undergoing multiple mastectomy surgeries
• Breast implant illness
• Returning to the runway as a “breastless model”
• Turning her book into the award-winning film Hello Beautiful
• Reclaiming worth beyond appearance

Christine Anastos ([email protected]), environmental engineer and founder of Connect & Thrive (CAT) (https://connect-and-thrive.com)   shares:

• Being diagnosed with DCIS while caregiving for her mother
• Cancer’s financial toxicity and hidden barriers
• Why 90% of breast cancer cases may be environmentally influenced
• Launching a public benefit corporation to bridge gaps in survivorship care

Together, these women explore:

• Identity after a cancer diagnosis
• Faith and post-traumatic growth
• The myth of “doing it alone”
• Why collaboration is more powerful than competition
• What it really means to be a “cancer disruptor”

Welcome to the conversation.
