To help make radiation go a little better, Kristen teams up with guest Jen Delvaux to talk about their radiation experiences and share the little things that made them more comfortable. Most women head into radiation not knowing the process or what to expect. Intimidating machines, tattoos, buzzing noises, orders about how to move (or not move) are overwhelming. Taking a backseat to treatment needs are ease and comfort—not that anything about radiation is particularly comfortable. If you’re also recovering from surgery, motion is limited and dressing in ANY clothing is a challenge. Whether you’re just starting or are in the midst of radiation, this conversation is meant to be a helpful guide to the little things you need to get through it based on real experiences. Jen Delvaux is the co-host of the podcast Not Today Cancer and author of a new book by the same name titled Not Today Cancer: A Non-Typical Survival Guide for the Girl Who Wants to Thrive, Not Just Survive.LinksAna Ono FavoritesLeslie Bralette https://shrsl.com/3i8paRora Pocketed Front Closure Bra https://shrsl.com/3i8pcSee all of our favorite things here https://www.breastcancerstoriespodcast.com/blog/things-you-need-for-radiationJen Delvaux’s book Not Today Cancer: A Non-Typical Survival Guide for the Girl Who Wants to Thrive, Not Just Survive https://amzn.to/3KzYXBiHear Kristen on Jen’s podcast, Not Today Cancer https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mammogram-ultra-sound-missed-stage-3-breast-cancer/id1436449587?i=1000558134923Jen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jendelvaux/Support the Breast Cancer Stories podcast: https://www.breastcancerstoriespodcast.com/p/donate/ Win your own Kyte bamboo pajamas when you SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER!
