When two women met through a mutual friend because of their terminal breast cancer diagnoses, they decided to start a podcast to help other women going through the disease.<\/span>Andy Sealy found a lump in her breast and was soon diagnosed with breast cancer.

\n<\/span>The same year Andy was diagnosed, Krysten Gentile was diagnosed. She was two months pregnant<\/a> with her third son when she found out she had breast cancer. She underwent chemo while pregnant and then again after she gave birth, and she also went through radiation.<\/span>She beat back the disease briefly, but it returned. Like Andy, it cropped up in her bones.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Facebook\/Making the Breast of It Pod<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>The average patient with Andy\u2019s diagnosis lives approximately three years, and the average patient with Krysten\u2019s diagnosis lives for ten to 13 years.<\/span>\u201cWe know we are terminal, we know the statistics, but we don\u2019t buy into any of that,\u201d Andy said<\/a>.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Facebook\/Andy Sealy<\/span>
\n<\/span>Both women are young, in their 30s. Mutual friends of the two suggested they meet. When they did, they clicked \u2014 and they decided to start a podcast.<\/span>Called \u201cMaking the Breast of It<\/a>,\u201d the podcast allows them to raise awareness, share their stories, and motivate other women battling the disease.<\/span>\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve found a purpose, and so that makes me happy.
