Breast Cancer Support & Navigation with Beacon RN

 

Guest name: Megan Graves, RN, BSN

Business name: Beacon RN


A breast cancer diagnosis changes everything—not just for the patient, but for families, friends, and anyone walking alongside them. 

In this heartfelt conversation, Lauren sits down with Megan Graves, RN, BSN—a Breast Cancer Advocate and Guide and the founder of Beacon RN, a personalized breast cancer navigation service based in Erie, Colorado.

Megan supports patients and their loved ones with the medical clarity, emotional steadiness, and compassionate guidance every family deserves during an overwhelming season.  Megan shares thoughtful, practical support for caregivers and friends who want to help but aren’t sure where to begin. 

In this episode, we cover:

  • What a breast cancer advocate and navigator actually does

  • How to organize medical information & advocate during appointments

  • What to say (and what not to say) when someone you love is diagnosed

  • Meaningful, helpful ways to support someone beyond dropping off a meal

  • How caregivers can protect their own well-being during the process

  • Small, manageable steps that support healing: sleep, nutrition & gentle movement

  • The emotional impact of breast cancer—and why no one should navigate it alone

A breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming—filled with fears, uncertainty, and countless questions. Beacon RN exists to walk beside patients and families through the rocky shores of breast cancer care, offering guidance, support, and compassionate clarity every step of the way.

This episode is your reminder: no one should have to walk through cancer alone. Sometimes the most meaningful support is simply showing up, listening, and helping carry the weight during the hardest seasons of life.
