Her Husband Was Diagnosed With Lung Cancer. Seven Weeks Later, She Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer.

Kim Bardes was quarantining with her family in Long Island when the unexpected happened — her husband and high school sweetheart Bruce was diagnosed with stage four metastatic lung cancer. Just seven weeks after Bruce’s diagnosis, Kim was diagnosed with inflammatory triple negative breast cancer - which affects Black women nearly twice as much as white women. On this episode of Cancer During COVID-19, Katie Couric’s latest series with @Merck, we follow Kim’s story and talk to experts about the race-based disparities in both cancer and COVID-19.
