E5: Mental Health and FL: Coping with the Psychological Impact of Cancer


Listen Later

In this extended episode, we open up a conversation that’s often overlooked: the emotional and psychological impact of living with FL with insights from our resident psychotherapist, Dr Paul C. Mollitt. From the uncertainty of “watch and wait” to the ripple effects on relationships, we share personal experiences, explore how cancer intersects with existing mental health challenges, and highlight therapy, peer support, and coping strategies. Our aim is to reduce stigma, provide practical tools, and remind you that it’s okay not to be okay - support is out there, and you are not alone.
