Send us Fan MailIn the very first episode of Diaries of a Breast Cancer Baddie, Louisa (AKA Lu) takes you right back to the moment that changed everything: the phone call no one is ever ready for.At 34, with two young kids, a busy career and a full life, Lu thought she was doing all the “right” things. Then, out of nowhere, came those three words: You have breast cancer. This episode is her unfiltered, unglossed, no-pink-sparkle retelling of what happened next — from the shock, the disbelief, and the wild medical guessing games, to the dark humour and chaos that somehow kept her afloat.Lu shares: ✨ The misdiagnosed lump that “wasn’t anything” — until it absolutely was ✨ The surreal weeks of tests, biopsies, and life-or-death decisions ✨ The emotional whiplash of planning chemo one minute and a tropical family holiday the next ✨ The story of “chemo bird,” unsolicited advice from strangers, and why gallows humour saved her sanity ✨ How a young mum, mid-career woman, and self-proclaimed sarcastic queen learned to navigate the fear, fight and absurdity of early breast cancerThis isn’t an inspirational highlight reel — it’s real, raw and ridiculously human. If you’ve ever googled symptoms while holding it together for your kids, if you’ve ever been hit sideways by life, or if you’re craving honesty without the doom and gloom… this episode is for you.Welcome to the diaries.Welcome to the chaos.Welcome to the baddie side of breast cancer 💗🔥Support the show
