I had the pleasure of chatting with Niki from ProCosmediq, a medical tattooist. Niki specialises in creating the illusion of a nipple and areola shading for women and men following mastectomy.

Whilst our bodies can withstand a lot, the link between our physical and mental perceptions of self cannot be ignored, and Niki's expertise allows people to find themselves feeling whole again in what is for many quite a traumatic experience.

Today I am thrilled to be joined by a total boss lady, Dr Cindy Mak. Cindy is my breast surgeon, and has been an instrumental part of my breast cancer journey.

Now when I say she’s a total boss I mean it – she is the head of department for Breast Surgery at the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse here in Sydney, she’s part of the team at The Mater, she works closely with the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation to raise valuable funds for patient care, medical equipment and education and uses her voice where it counts to speak about women’s health and breast cancer alike.

When you're undergoing cancer treatments, it can feel like you've had so much taken from you. Exercise is one of the things that can help you regain your sense of self.

Shelley Kay, my exercise physiologist at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, joins me for a chat about the role of exercise in enabling you to deal with the side effects that accompany many cancer treatments.

From long hair, to a bald scalp – it’s the hair episode.

Hair is something many of us are attached to as part of our image – how we see ourselves and others.

Faced with a diagnosis of breast cancer, one of the first things that I was concerned about was the prospect of being bald. In this episode I’ll unpack my reflections thus far on the whole hair situation.
