  2. Breast Cancer and Dense Breasts

    AUG 12

    Breast Cancer and Dense Breasts

    Nearly half of women have dense breasts but many of them won’t know it, as only a mammogram will confirm if you have them. That same mammogram may not be able to pick out whether there’s any cancer there. Following a mammogram, women with dense breasts should consider additional screening such as ultrasound or MRI. Having dense breasts does increase your risk of breast cancer so it’s time more people know about them. Learn more at DenseBreast-info.org/Europe  In this episode, Victoria talks to her fellow TV presenter Julia Bradbury, who found a lump in one of her dense breasts in 2020 but her diagnosis was only confirmed after an ultrasound picked up what the mammograms couldn’t. Julia and Victoria also talk to Cheryl Cruwys who founded Breast Density Matters UK, and get advice from Fleur Kilburn-Toppin, a consultant radiologist.

  3. Breast Cancer and Getting It Twice

    APR 15

    Breast Cancer and Getting It Twice

    This episode is not about secondaries – that was Series 1, Episode 7. Nor is it about the fear of it coming back- that was Series 2, Episode 2. This is about when you think breast cancer is at last behind you. And then you receive the news that you have got it again. A second primary diagnosis - lightning, in the worst way, striking twice. Victoria is joined by three women who have been through that scenario- something that affects around ten per cent of women. They talk about how they rationalised the situation and how they coped.

  4. Breast Cancer and Radiotherapy

    APR 8

    Breast Cancer and Radiotherapy

    There’s a lot of help and information out there for women who have to undergo chemotherapy. Perhaps there’s a bit less about radiotherapy for two reasons - it is not perceived as being as debilitating as chemo and possibly because it comes afterwards, hopefully when you are almost on the ‘home straight’. For many women it isn’t straightforward, neither mentally nor physically. In this episode Victoria talks to women who tell their stories and how they developed coping mechanisms for handling their radiotherapy programme joined by an expert in breast cancer and radiotherapy.

    APR 2

    Breast Cancer and Surgery - Part Two

    Surgery is a part of many women’s breast cancer stories and this episode puts some of your points and queries to a breast cancer surgeon who also explains why she and her colleagues make the decisions they do.

    Breast Cancer and Surgery - Part One

    This is the first of two episodes looking at surgery - which is the right operation for you - what do terms like lumpectomy and mastectomy mean and should you have reconstruction? And if so, when and how? Three women share their stories with Victoria in this episode - how their fears and anxieties were overcome and how they made the decisions they did. Some of their points will be put to a breast cancer surgeon in Episode 9.

  7. Breast Cancer and Boldness and Bravery

    MAR 19

    Breast Cancer and Boldness and Bravery

    We don’t talk about ‘fighting’ the disease on this podcast but we do talk about how people are left changed by the experience of having had breast cancer. Many women decide that post-cancer they want to do something different- that from now on, it’s about experiences and living life to the full. In short, to be bold and brave. In this episode Victoria – who stripped off twice for the “Full Monty” series, wrote a book and appeared on “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” after her recovery, talks to women who have embraced similar values and done things differently - celebrating their ‘new’ lives. It is an uplifting listen and shows that the future can be bright, even when you think it won’t be.

    MAR 12

    Breast Cancer and my unique journey with my Sister

    Everyone’s cancer journey is unique and in this episode you’ll hear how Victoria’s guests demonstrate that by talking frankly about their differing responses to being told they had breast cancer. The fact that two of those guests are sisters only adds to the point. Cathy and Tracey - two siblings of seven - were diagnosed a few months apart and despite their closeness, they got on it in different ways. Their stories are uplifting and poignant and they are joined by Jackie, Future Dreams’ Breast Clinical Nurse Specialist - who explains how different people react differently to everything from diagnosis, treatment and their post-cancer lives.
