Are you worried about trusting the wrong people with your health?

In this episode of Wellbeing Interrupted, I address an important issue after watching 7:30 (23/10/24) on the ABC in Australia. The segment discussed a practitioner who wasn't upfront about their qualifications, which got me reflecting on how critical trust and integrity are when building a support network. 

Whether you use medical or natural therapies, it’s essential to surround yourself with people you trust to support your health journey.

As I share my own experiences of living with MS and stage 4 breast cancer, I talk about how to create a health team that genuinely supports your healing, combining both conventional medicine and natural therapies. This episode focuses on discernment, listening to your intuition, and finding practitioners who align with your values.

Key Episode Takeaways

• Why Transparency and Integrity Matter: Ensuring your health team is upfront about their qualifications and operates with integrity is essential.
• The Role of Intuition in Building Your Team: Trusting your gut is key when selecting who supports your healing journey.
• Why an Open Mind is Key to Healing: Don’t let one bad experience stop you from exploring integrative therapies.
• My Journey of Healing and Remission: Combining both medical and natural therapies helped me live well with MS and reach remission with stage 4 breast cancer.

How would you feel if access to life-extending treatment was denied?

Living with stage 4 breast cancer is hard enough. I get it—I was diagnosed in February 2022. However, living in Australia, if my cancer were to become HER2-low, I have the comfort of knowing that the life-extending drug Enhertu is now available through our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Yet, this same drug remains out of reach for women with HER2-low breast cancer in England.

It isn't fair. So, I reached out to the incredible Jeannie Ambrose, who is living with stage 4 breast cancer in England, to discuss the emotional impact of being denied access to this treatment. In this episode, we not only highlight the profound frustration but also support the campaign fighting for access to Enhertu in the UK. Let’s shine a light on this injustice and raise awareness of the need for equal access to life-extending treatments.

Key Episode Takeaways: 

• Understanding the Diagnosis: Jeannie’s Journey with Stage 4 Breast Cancer
• Why the Fight for Access to Enhertu Matters
• The Emotional Toll of Inequality in Treatment Access
• Enhertu: What Is It and Who Benefits?
• The Personal Is Political: Why We Should Care
• How You Can Help: Taking Action

Show Resources:

• Follow @thetittygritty for updates on the fight for access to Enhertu.

About the Guest:

Jeannie Ambrose lives in Cambridgeshire, England, and was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer de novo over five years ago. Now, as a HER2-low breast cancer patient, she is a patient advocate and has been involved with Breast Cancer Now to campaign for access to the life-extending drug Enhertu. Jeannie shares the personal impact of being denied access to this drug. For further details on why this decision was made and the efforts to gain access to the drug, please visit the Breast Cancer Now Enhertu Campaign.
