Sarah Gandy & Breast Cancer

Hi! Welcome to That’s So Chronic and happy Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Today I sat down with a cup of tea and a chocolate chip cookie to chat with the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation’s latest ambassador Sarah Gandy. You might recognise her from the radio (The Hits Breakfast Show, ZM) or perhaps you’ve seen her in a magazine or on the telly spreading awareness about breast cancer. Most recently, alongside her friend and the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation, Sarah has brought the Change & Check campaign changing rooms and workplaces around New Zealand.

In today’s episode we chat about boobs… in particular her boobs, but also why it’s so important that you check YOUR boobs. We discuss in depth Sarah’s breast cancer diagnosis, what chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation looks like, the support she had throughout her treatment, and, of course, the inspiration behind the Change & Check campaign.

A gentle CONTENT WARNING: While Sarah is extremely positive and energetic, we do talk about death and the realities of cancer. If you are not feeling strong enough to listen on your own today, I recommend listening when you’re ready with someone you trust.

TW: death/dying

This is the week my laptop completely died mid edit lol, so if you liked this episode, have a listen to some of our others! And don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review and tell everyone you know! That helps TSC get into more ears around the world, to hopefully spread awareness, and more importantly… hope.
