Charlotte was just 32 when she was diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer. What followed was a whirlwind of treatment, failed reconstructions, cancelled surgeries, and years of fighting to be heard.

In this powerful conversation, Charlotte shares what it really means to advocate for your body in the face of a system that doesn’t always listen. From gruelling chemo to choosing to live flat, she speaks with raw honesty about pain, resilience, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward — even when it feels impossible.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The whirlwind of diagnosis and “dose-dense” chemotherapy.
• The battle for informed choice in surgery and reconstruction.
• Living with chronic pain and the decision to go flat.
• The emotional toll of being denied and delayed care.
• Finding community, advocacy, and better days ahead.
