Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Let’s Talk About Sex with Zoe Yessian
Q: What was the most surprising thing you wished you'd known before your diagnosis about sex and cancer?
That the changes to desire and sexuality can be profound and long-lasting, but with time, support, and the right tools, it is possible to reclaim pleasure and intimacy; being prepared for the impact helps reduce fear and shame.
Why Poetry Can be Therapy with Dearbhaile O’Hare
Q: What is your writing process, and how do you turn experiences into poetry?
The guest describes collecting notes during walks and on her phone, then transferring them to a laptop, organizing into a flow that mirrors the cancer journey, and finally shaping drafts into a book with context and tidbits for readers.
Managing the Menopause and Cancer with Dani Binnington
Q: What gaps did you encounter in information and care, and how did you respond to them?
There was conflicting or missing guidance about early menopause, new symptoms, and long-term health risks; I sought second opinions, invested in private consultations, and created Menopause for Cancer to provide education, clinics, and community support.
How to Cope with Scanxiety with Dr Lauren Heathcote
Q: How does cancer treatment affect mental health over time?
Mental health can worsen with initial diagnosis and treatment, with depressive symptoms often peaking earlier and improving after treatment ends, while anxiety may peak later and persist or increase even after active treatment.
Can Going Flat Give You Freedom? With Louise Butcher
Q: What do your kids think about mommy being topless on the tally?
To them, it's normal as they've grown up with it being a part of Louise's life, suggesting that such openness can normalize body acceptance in society.
