128. Marcella Kelson (Postpartum Triple Negative Breast Cancer at Age 35)

INTERLUDE: Cancer Stories with Dr. Teplinsky

On today’s episode, I am speaking with Marcella Kelson. Marcella is a Maternal Wellness specialist with a background in mental health and developmental psychology. Marcella’s mission is to provide authentic, tangible and empowering tools for millennial mothers. She herself is a mom to 4 year old Otto and 10 month old Francesca and was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in August 2022 when her daughter was four months old. She just completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy and is now planning for surgery. On today’s episode, we talk about it all with a deep dive into mental health – the dark moments, the good moments and everything in between. Other topics discussed include parenting, asking for help/support, cold capping, and much more.
