S7. Ep. 2: The Brain Tumour Diagnosis Guide... With The Missing Pages


Listen Later

The GlioBabes, a podcast created by two young women who were both diagnosed with brain tumours at a young age. Mel and Mol are creating a safe space to talk about their experiences and to raise awareness of brain tumours and ill health within the young population.


Welcome back for Season 7 Episode 2! Today’s theme of focus: the real life happenings from a Brain Tumour diagnosis that the leaflets never cover.


From the impact on identity in relationships to cognitive challenges and social anxiety, we cover the unspoken realities of living with a diagnosis and embracing the dark humour in adversity.


But of course reflecting on the positive sides, from a shift in priorities and self care to celebrating our community and audience. There’s a lot to unpack this episode!


Laughter, tears, appreciation and hard truths…your promised intentional chaos is back.
