Lauren Mahon is an inspiration. I hadn’t met her before this recording (well, technically I still haven’t as we recorded remotely), but I feel like I’ve known her for years.
Lauren is the brainchild behind Girl Vs Cancer. The community, platform and merchandise brand that she set up after devastatingly being diagnosed with breast cancer at just 31. Her motivation to crush the cancer taboo amongst the younger generation is so admirable, and her energy is a force to be reckoned with!
She candidly talks about her cancer diagnosis, how she handled it, and we both speak openly about the “cliffs edge” you feel upon receiving the all clear. I open up about my experiences of dealing with cancer when my brother was diagnosed in 2015, which felt enlightening as it was a conversation with someone who knew exactly what I felt and the darkness that came with the experience, as a family member supporting their sibling.
We bond over crisps, specifically Hula Hoops and I think we’ll be friends for life!
