Pt 1: ‘No One Ever Thinks They’ll Get Cancer’ | Shell Rowe on her Mental Battle
•
Shell Rowe was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma at just 20 years old. Somehow, she found the humour in cancer, building a social following of over 1.1 million.
In this episode, she joins Dr Alex George to share the devastating conversations that followed her diagnosis - including telling her girlfriend she didn’t need to stay - and the moment which left her thinking ‘it’s now or never’.
Plus, she shares why she believes cancer is as much of a mental battle as a physical one, and why it’s the little moments you’d realise you’d miss.
