In this deeply personal episode, Monica invites Rebecca to share her story — from the moment she discovered a lump during Breast Cancer Awareness Month three years ago, through diagnosis, gruelling treatment, and the silent aftermath that followed.
Rebecca opens up about the emotional toll and challenges of chemotherapy, the loneliness that comes after the hospital appointments stop, and the emotional struggles that followed. They discuss the importance of journalling as a therapeutic tool for processing fear, grief, and ultimately a way towards healing.
Together, they explore how writing — even just a few words — can help release what’s been trapped inside, reconnect us with our bodies, and begin to restore a sense of agency in life after cancer.
This is a conversation about vulnerability, resilience, and the quiet magic of putting pen to paper.
Please share it with anyone you know who’s on this journey through cancer.
