The impact of cancer on mental health
Posted on: 18 December 2019
Cancer doesn't just affect your physical health, it can impact your mental health too.
Kelsey Bennett and Maddy Scott tackle the important subject in the latest episode of their Freaking The F*ck Out podcast.
Speaking to Deborah James (@bowelbabe) and Dr. Sam Godfrey (Service Delivery Manager at Cancer Research UK), they explore how the conversation around cancer has evolved over the past 20 years, the pros and cons of using fight language, and the value of complementary medicine on mental health. Deborah also opens up on how cancer changed her life and how she copes with the anxiety caused by her diagnosis.
