Episode 11 : Chemo Schmemo


Listen Later

In this episode I start to talk about my own experience with chemo, I share with you my first time going for treatment and how I handled it back in 2016, very different in 2021. I talk about the stigma around chemo and how I personally feel we should approach this treatment. 

I strongly believe that we should start to create more positive words and images around chemo rather than building fear and anxiety around the subject from the off. Now I know this is not an easy ask and that everything we have ever learnt about chemo is negative, but if that is all we have in our minds then we are not going to have anything but an awful experience. If, however we start to talk about chemo differently, create new words and pictures to help build a new dialogue in our minds about this area of treatment.

Breast cancer, and all cancer for that is a journey and chemo is just part of that journey - and it's not part of everyone's journey, for some, there is not a need for chemo (and they breathe a huge sigh of relief!) but for those who do take that road then I want to help start to shape a different approach.

This is just touching on this subject and it's something that is a large part of what I do - helping women come to terms with diagnosis and then approach treatment with ease, eradicated the crippling fear and anxiety and replacing those emotions with acceptance, compassion and peace.
