"Kissed on the Ass by an Angel" with Cass Thorburn

Host Amanda Goff welcomes Cass Thorburn to Xposed for an unfiltered conversation about the diagnosis that turned her world upside down, and why showing up for that routine screening saved her life. When journalist Cass Thorburn went for a routine free mammogram, she felt completely healthy, no lumps, no pain, and no family history. But the screen uncovered occult triple-negative breast cancer, an extremely rare diagnosis with no primary tumor in the breast, affecting fewer than 3% of breast cancer cases in Australia. Fresh off a radiation mapping session, Cass opens up about navigating 12 rounds of chemotherapy, working full-time through treatment, and the life-saving importance of heeding that routine mammogram reminder letter.
