The History of Breast Cancer: From Ancient Curses to Modern Hope
In this powerful episode of For the Love of History, we travel through time to uncover the history of breast cancer — from ancient Egyptian surgery manuals and Hippocrates’ wild “humor” theories to the modern breakthroughs that save lives today.
Host TK shares the deeply personal story of her best friend’s diagnosis and remission, explores how breast cancer appeared in Renaissance art, and highlights women who changed how we see the disease — from Audre Lorde’s The Cancer Journals to trailblazing researchers like Dr. Jane Wright.
With humor, empathy, and the occasional swear, this episode reminds us that while the past was often brutal, the present is full of hope — and the future even brighter.
✨ You’ll learn:
How the ancient Egyptians documented breast cancer 3,000 years ago.
Why Renaissance paintings might be hiding medical secrets.
How Audre Lorde fought stigma and redefined survivorship.
The amazing modern advancements changing breast cancer treatment today.
