Episode 7 - A Series with my Baddies - Part 2 - ' Cold Caps and No Chill'

Send us Fan MailIn Part 2 of 'A Series with My Baddies', we hand the mic to Anne and dive into what her treatment plan was supposed to look like… and what it actually became.Anne talks us through her lumpectomy and lymph node surgery, the curveball of not having a complete pathological response, and how that changed her treatment timeline — extending things further than expected (because cancer loves a plot twist).We also get into cold capping: what it is, what it’s like, and whether we’d do it again — plus the very real reality of hair loss, hats, patchy spots, and that banging haircut you get when your hair starts to normalise, and you feel like a rockstar!From there, we go deeper into the big decisions women face: lumpectomy vs mastectomy, the emotional and psychological weight behind those choices, and how genetics and family history can influence decision-making.We also chat about genetic testing — why some of us did it, what it clarified (or didn’t), and how complex it can feel when you’re already drowning in information.And because this is us… we also talk about what pissed us off during treatment — the little things, the big things, and the stuff people say that should honestly come with a fine.Raw, honest, funny in the way you have to be to survive it — and proof that sometimes the only way through is together.DISCLAIMER: We do not give medical advice, as we are not qualified medical pracitioners.
