This week's guest is Allyn Rose. As a 24-year-old Miss USA and Miss America contestant, Allyn made headlines across the globe with her controversial decision to become a “previvor” by choosing to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy after losing her mother, grandmother and great aunt to breast cancer. As a result of her advocacy efforts, she was awarded the 21st Annual Congress on Women’s Health’s “Women’s Health Advocacy Award” and a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2017 Breast Cancer Summit for her continued dedication to educating women in breast cancer prevention.
Allyn is the first woman with a mastectomy to be featured by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and was the creator of the social media movement #SelfExamGram, encouraging women to perform monthly self breast exams.
Allyn shares her entire journey with us, including her decision to undergo a double mastectomy at the age of 26, starting the organization "The Previvor", her involvement in the AiRS Foundation, Mens breast health, and much more.
