DiepCJourney Podcast


Jul 27, 2023

Breast cancer is a scary word that no one wants to hear from their physician. When you’re diagnosed with breast cancer your mind can often go to, “How long am I going to live?” But because treatments have improved over the years, survivorship in breast cancer is a word we are hearing more often now in breast cancer communities, online, and in the media.

On this episode of the DiepCJourney podcast, we are shining a light on survivorship with our guest, Deepa R. Halaharvi, DO, who has “seen both sides as a breast cancer survivor and breast cancer surgeon.” She completed her residency in general surgery at Ohio Health Doctors’ Hospital and went on to complete a fellowship in breast surgical oncology at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio. Dr. Halaharvi practices at the OhioHealth Physician Group.

She shares her personal story, the procedures she performs for her patients including those with ptotic (droopy or sagging breasts) called the goldilocks mastectomy, her procedural practice in clinic for the newly diagnosed, and what she does in her personal life to achieve work-life balance.
