Jamie and Luan Lawrenson-Woods explore the long-term effects of breast cancer treatment and the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare settings. They dive into personal experiences with cognitive challenges, identity shifts, and finding purpose after diagnosis.
• Luan shares how her podcast "Rewritten Me" emerged from the information gap about reconstruction options in Australia
• Both discuss experiencing "chemo brain" and cognitive difficulties post-treatment, including word-finding problems and anxiety
• Trauma from diagnosis creates lasting PTSD symptoms that aren't always recognized by others who expect survivors to "get back to normal"
• Luann's new podcast "Regarding Me" teaches cancer survivors self-advocacy skills for healthcare settings. Check it out for more on how to speak up, be heard, and put yourself at the center of your care.
• The Six Self-Advocacy Steps (SSAS) framework helps patients communicate effectively with medical providers
• Early detection saves lives – know your body, track unusual symptoms, and never delay getting concerns checked
• Resources like "Know Your Lemons" provide accessible education about proper breast examination techniques
