Welcome to a special crossover episode of The Menopause and Cancer Podcast. Today’s episode is a little different. I’m joined by Shelley Syme — a young breast cancer survivor and the host of One Lump or Two, a brilliant podcast exploring life after cancer. Instead of recording two separate interviews, we hit record together and are sharing this conversation across both of our shows.We dive into:Body image and body confidence after cancer treatmentDating with one boobWhat it really takes to feel sexy again in a changed bodyUsing creativity to challenge beauty norms and reclaim powerShelley uses photography as a powerful tool to confront body image pressures and celebrate body positivity. In her iconic image series — think Marilyn Monroe on the cover of Vogue, but with Shelley’s twist and her beautiful body exactly as it is now — she blends humour, art, and honesty to reshape how we view cancer survivorship.This episode is for anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “How do I learn to love this version of me?”You can find Shelley here: https://www.instagram.com/shelleyjsyme/And remember to follow the show to never miss an episode!Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro09:03 Menopause Neglect in Cancer Treatment11:12 Menopause and Cancer: Navigating Risks17:12 Menopause Challenges in the Workplace20:59 Struggling with Post-Cancer Self-Image27:10 Intimacy Challenges Post-Menopause30:35 Life Modelling Boosts Confidence38:56 Focused Support for Cancer SurvivorsConnect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub
