In this first episode, I share how devastating it was to be told I needed a mastectomy and how I’ve gone from being the star of the Unwritten Me Sh!tshow to hosting the Rewritten Me podcast.
I talk about my breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and surgeries, as well some of the little talked about side effects of my DIEP reconstruction, like the ‘Ken Doll’ (oh, and my labi@ also gets an honourable mention!).
Listen in to hear how on Rewritten Me I’ll be talking to healthcare professionals along with women from the breast cancer community so that you can learn more about breast reconstruction in Australia. And not just the surgical side of things, but the physical, emotional and practical things too.
Rewritten Me is here to help you choose how you re-write your story.
