When lifelong friends Anna and Katie were both diagnosed with the same rare type of breast cancer within two years, their worlds turned upside down.

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, they talk about friendship, loss, and the courage it takes to keep pushing when the system doesn’t listen. From the uncanny parallels between their diagnoses to the differences in their treatment, they share how grief, humour, and self-advocacy helped them through.

Together they reflect on reconstruction, menopause, and identity — and the ongoing impact cancer has on family, body image, and confidence. This episode is full of laughter, honesty, and hard-won wisdom about listening to your gut and fighting to be heard.

🎧 Cups & Courage shares raw, real conversations about breast cancer, body image, and the courage it takes to live life on your own terms.
