Description

After its release, we had so many messages from listeners asking for more on this topic.So, I am delighted to introduce you to Rosamund Dean, a journalist, author, mummy and breast cancer survivor. Rosamund is well known for her recent book Reconstruction, but did you know she also wrote a book on mindful drinking? I promise this will be a non-judgemental conversation full of Rosamund’s super helpful tips.How to drink less if you’re not ready to give up?How to handle social situations?How to cut booze out completely?Do you drink because you do not want to say no to your friends and perhaps disappoint others?How not to feel guilty if you’ve had a drink?How to reframe drinking less and looking at the incredible positives that a ‘less-booze-filled-life’ has to offer!Rosamund’s book Reconstruction: The new breast cancer guide that will boost your well-being and protect your physical and mental health post-diagnosis can be found here and her book Mindful Drinking is here.You can find out more about Rosamund on her blog here.Episode mention: Alcohol and Me Connect with Dani:Instagram @healthywholeme  Facebook: @healthywholeme  Website: menopauseandcancer.org Join Dani’s private Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathubFor oodles of inspiration, healthy recipes, yoga classes and all round positivity go to her website: https://www.healthywholeme.com/

Has cancer treatment led you to early menopause? Do you feel confused about your options? This podcast hosts conversations with cancer patients, survivors and medical professionals to learn about treatments available for women with a cancer diagnosis.  I’m Dani Binnington, after breast cancer, surgery to remove my ovaries led me to early menopause, I had no idea what my treatment options were and who in my medical team could help me figure out what to do about my symptoms. I felt alone and unsupported. It took me so long to discover I had lots of options too. If only I’d known sooner! Everything I wish I’d known back then is inside these conversations - so you can make the right choices now.  These episodes are a good place to start: 1. Rethinking Tamoxifen & Aromatase Inhibitors  2. Why I decided to take HRT after an oestrogen driven cancer 2. Alcohol & Me Menopause and cancer is also a thriving community online and in real life.  Join the Facebook community to connect with women going through the same thing you are: https://www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub
