Chemotherapy: the day my hair betrayed me
from Unwell Informed · host Unwell Informed
In this episode, Bea reflects on the slow, unsettling lead-up to diagnosis — the strange symptoms, the gut feeling something was wrong, and the moment life quietly split into before and after. She shares what it was like telling family and friends, navigating shock, humour, fear, and disbelief all at once, and coming to terms with a reality she never saw coming. This episode explores the emotional weight of waiting, knowing, and saying the words out loud, and the early reckoning of becoming someone living with cancer, before treatment even begins.
