Bernardo Diaz, Program Development Manager from UCSF Patient & Family Cancer Support Center [Video]

Our guest is Bernardo Diaz, the Program Development Manager from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Patient & Family Cancer Support Center. Bernardo’s journey from Peru to the United States in 2007 inspires us to continue progressing despite life’s challenges. Additionally, he shared how to exhibit empathy and care from afar through his experience as a caregiver for his sister, who endured breast cancer. Bernardo and his team at the Patient and Family Cancer Support Center at UCSF are working diligently to improve the quality of life for the staff, patients, family, and caregivers near and far.

Mission: This platform provides a space for women and men who are breast cancer survivors and thrivers who desire to allow their mental and physical scars to speak openly about life before breast cancer, during, and now. Additionally, we are inviting caregivers to share their experience with supporting and loving their loved one(s) through this process because they have scars that must be respected and heard. Lastly, we are hearing from professionals about their journey to serving individuals with breast cancer, along with needed information to bring forth awareness.

How We Got Here: Usually, people ask us to share our stories from the moment we heard the words, “You have breast cancer.” However, we are more than just that moment. We would love to share stories of the journey before breast cancer, during, and now. We want people to understand that there was life before breast cancer. Even though breast cancer may have caused mental and physical scars, it does not define our being. Instead, our scars speak of the cultivation of the person we are and the person we are becoming.
