The part of cancer people don’t talk about — after diagnosis, after treatment, after survival.

In Episode 2 of Blether with Barberra, Suzy Rook — international rugby player, social worker, mum, and wellbeing practitioner — reflects on the quieter, more complex reality of life after thyroid cancer.

This conversation explores mental health, resilience, identity after illness, and cold exposure through lived experience, not advice or trends. Suzy speaks openly about navigating uncertainty, listening to a changed body, and finding meaning beyond diagnosis and treatment.

Episode 2 continues to raise awareness for the Butterfly Thyroid Cancer Trust and Back Onside, supporting those affected by thyroid cancer and suicide.

Blether with Barberra is a podcast for honest conversations about health and wellbeing — for humans and their pets — breaking down stigma and making space for real stories.

Honest conversations about health, resilience, lived experience — and hope.
