In this episode, we chat with Briony Benjamin, cancer survivor and author of Life is Tough, But So Are You, about her journey through a shocking Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis at just 31. Briony opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of cancer treatment, including the physical toll of losing her hair, the complexities of freezing her eggs, and the power of having a supportive community.
