Living Through Breast Cancer
Harvard doctor. Breast cancer surgeon. Breast cancer survivor.
Carolyn Kaelin, MD, MPH, knows the twists and turns breast cancer can
take from both sides of the stethoscope. At 42, Kaelin, the director
of the Comprehensive Breast Health Center at Brigham and Women’s
Hospital and assistant professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School,
was diagnosed with breast cancer. Suddenly, she faced losing her breast,
hair, eyebrows, energy, and far more. A mother of two, a wife, a working
woman, and an avid skier and cyclist, she was forced to put so much that
she cared about on hold.
