<p>On today’s episode, I am speaking with Larissa Morgan. Larissa was diagnosed with breast cancer in the fall of 2021 after going for her first mammogram. On today’s episode, she talks about her diagnosis and treatment – side effects such as neuropathy, how she made treatment decisions, impact on her mental health, relationships and asking for help, exercising during treatment, parenting and how she told her young kids, and much more. This is both such an open and vulnerable and empowering conversation about how life not only changes with a cancer diagnosis but what happens after. </p>

A diagnosis of cancer is life changing. We spend so much time discussing treatment plans and physical side effects of treatment but we don't always have the opportunity to truly discuss how a cancer diagnosis affects a woman emotionally -- her feelings, worries, and fears. However, these conversations need to take place. In this podcast, we will have these difficult conversations. I will be speaking with women who are all at various stages of cancer treatment. We will talk about anything and everything related to the cancer experience. Many women feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable at in-person support groups or may not have anyone to discuss their experiences with. My hope is that this podcast will provide support, encouragement, inspiration, hope, courage, and most importantly, strength to women as they navigate through their own cancer journey.

Cancer brings normal life to a halt. It creates an INTERLUDE. Let’s talk about it.
