It’s time to talk to the big guns, again. But this time it’s Shelley’s mum and dad. So if you enjoyed last weeks episode then you’re in luck! Because this is much of the same… With this we wave goodbye to season one but never fear. Season two is just round the corner and we already have some exciting plans up our sleeves! If there is anything you want to hear in season two.

It’s time to talk to the big guns, Mum and Dad. Why? Because it’s uncomfortable, and that's what this is all about. So as we wave goodbye to Season one, we also wave goodbye to old habits. Communication is key, and god knows we love to talk… Instagram: @onelump_ortwo "Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/jump-jive License code: LSBZJLTW9EEAUYJR "

So we’ve kind of come to the end of our treatment stories *cue the sadness and pleas for an encore* but the series isn’t quite over yet! It’s fair to say we were in very different stages of life when we were diagnosed, and we very much still are! So today we’re talking about life changes and future dreams. Turns out having cancer really messes with your life plans. Who knew?!  Instagram: @onelump_ortwo Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/jump-jive License code: LSBZJLTW9EEAUYJR

Today we’re in not so sunny Brighton talking reconstruction and unlike build a bear (is that still a thing?), you don’t get to browse the shelves for the cutest looking boob, there’s no soft heart that you kiss and put inside, and it’s certainly not a quick stuffing… But you can name it and keep it with you forever! Any name suggestions for Shelley’s new boob are welcome. Why are we in Brighton for this episode I hear you ask? Well Shelley is getting a boob cast at the wonderful Lydia Reeves studio. A very empowering experience which we highly recommend! We’ve linked her Instagram below so you can see for yourself.

Just call us Wednesday Addams because today we’re chatting death. No one really wants to think about dying but let’s be honest, we’re all going to die at some point and, having had cancer, it’s something we both think about on the reg. Honestly we’d do anything for attention. (If you’ve not watched Saltburn then sorry, you won’t get that joke but I promise it’s funny)  So be sure to join ‘thoughts of death’ Barbie and ‘existential dread’ Barbie for a super uplifting episode!  No but seriously it is pretty interesting if we do say so ourselves.  Instagram: @onelump_ortwo "Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/jump-jive License code: LSBZJLTW9EEAUYJR "

Lets talk about (lack of) sex baby…. not quite got the same ring to it as the original.  In this episode we chat candidly about dating and sex after cancer. Spoiler alert. It is not easy like Sunday morning.  Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/jump-jive License code: LSBZJLTW9EEAUYJR Instagram: @onelump_ortwo

Sadly it’s considered weird if we take off all our clothes though… Today is a bit of a mish mash of topics that kind of relate but mainly we didn’t have enough to say to make them individual episodes which is shocking I know. We take a quick dip in the radiotherapy pool before plunging into hormone therapy and the medical menopause. The conclusion? We’d pay good money to go back to bleeding every month if it meant not being in the menopause. Oh how we miss periods.

We really let our hair down with this episode and ‘baldly’ went where we’ve not gone before…ok enough with the cringe hair puns now. Hair loss is probably the thing that everyone associates with having chemotherapy and for us, and probably many others, it’s really when you start to look at yourself and think ‘shit, now I've definitely got cancer’. So in this episode we talk about the roller coaster of emotions and events that come with going bald.  Instagram: @onelump_ortwo Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/jump-jive License code: LSBZJLTW9EEAUYJR

T’was the night before christmas and all through the house, we were moaning about chemo and not a lot else. We go on a real journey in this episode so tag along for the ride as we discuss, arguably the worst part of cancer treatment, chemotherapy. From projectile vomiting to genuine fears of death, we really do cover it all. Why have we decided to relive this trauma on Christmas Eve? Because cancer is the gift that keeps on giving of course! TRIGGER WARNING: Death. Talk of death starts at 12.59 and ends at 17.59. Feel free to skip this section.

Episode two is all about going under the knife! We share our personal insights and highly expert knowledge on lumpectomies, and another lumpectomy, and a mastectomy… Delving into the physical and psychological impact of these surgeries, serving as a reminder, surgery cuts more than skin deep.
