“One Lump or Two?” - Podcast

“One Lump or Two?” - a brand new podcast that’s not afraid to laugh (and cry) in the face of breast cancer. Featuring two women and three boobs, ‘baldly’ tackling life's darkest moments.

Read about Shelley, diagnosed at the age of 29, faced the daunting reality just six months before Kate, who received her diagnosis at 30. Their paths crossed through an unexpected connection on social media when Kate courageously reached out with a plea for support. Now, the duo are venturing into the world of podcasting. Embracing a straight-talking approach to the often mind-boggling world of cancer diagnosis and treatment, Shelley and Kate channel their shared experiences into an unfiltered narrative that is as honest as it is light-hearted.
