Alice - on breast cancer language and mental health

In this episode, Laura chats with Alice about the language we use to talk about cancer, and if there is better language we can use.

Language can alienate people, it can connect people, and when we’re talking about cancer it’s that recalibration of the way we talk about things. Do we need to do it the way we’ve always done it, or is there a better way to do it?

- Alice

Alice also talks about the impact her breast cancer diagnosis had on her mental health, and shares tips and tricks she has learnt to help her live well with depression.
