Taboo Breast Cancer Conversations No One Wants to Have with Laura Carfang | EP 257

Did you know there are a lot of controversial conversations around cancer that just aren’t had? Conversations about confidence, self trust, the consequences of pharmaceutical drugs, the illness and drugs required well after cancer treatment is finished and the role that diet and stress play in that experience. Today's guest is a woman that has survived breast cancer herself and now runs an organisation that supports women going through the battle of breast cancer. In this episode we get into some juicy, taboo topics. In this conversation we talked about: - Why PET scans use sugar molecules to detect cancer - What you should do to check your breasts - Why cancer is not your fault - At what point to take responsibility for your healing - Combination therapy: holistic and medical - What not trusting your body feels like and how to rebuild that trust - Which diseases does the cancer medication lead to (other than cancer) - The damage that chemotherapy and radiation can do - General dietary templates for managing disease - How to join a breast cancer community - Having conviction in the path that you have chosen - Learning to love and care for the new version of you as a cancer survivor - Changing the societal narrative about what ‘having cancer’ means - For most cancer is not just bad genes *** Join the Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group here: https://mattylansdown.com/HealthyMumsFBgroup *** Where to find LAURA CARFANG Laura's Website: survivingbreastcancer.org Laura's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/survivingbreastcancerorg/ Laura's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Survivingbreastcancerorg -- How to Get in Touch with MATTY LANSDOWN Healthy Mum’s Facebook Group: https://mattylansdown.com/HealthyMumsFBgroup Take the 10 Day Emotional Eating Challenge: https://mattylansdown.com/take-the-10DayChallenge Send Matty the word ‘PROGRAM’ right here to discuss our programs: https://m.me/mattylansdown Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@howtonotgetsickanddiepodcast Join our Email list here: https://mattylansdown.com/JointheMailingList -- Intro/Outro track Tropic Love by "Diviners feat.
