Liz and Norma open up about how cancer has profoundly impacted their lives, with their mom, Liz, and Norma all facing breast cancer diagnoses. They discuss the emotional and physical challenges of their battles, the critical role of routine screenings in early detection, and the strength they’ve found in each other.

The conversation also highlights the groundbreaking work of the Cancer Vaccine Coalition and the hope it brings for the future of cancer outcomes and prevention. Liz and Norma’s story is a powerful reminder of resilience, the importance of advocacy, and the strides being made in the fight against cancer.
