Podcast discussing the signs, symptoms and experiences of cancer for young adutls. This season on caretoshare we are covering lots of important topics from life after cancer, self-care and navigating day-to-day life with a cancer diagnosis. Join us for deep chats, laughs and inspirational guests. Cancer can be quite a heavy topic but we promise to make it as light-hearted as possible so it becomes an easier part of all our conversations.
On this final episode of caretoshare we interview a very special guest who went viral on TikTok for posting her experience with cancer as a young adult. Based in New York and currently in her final stages of treatment, Arise Rombotis shares her story with us detailing everything from the early days of diagnosis to coping with a new body image. We know that not everyone will approach cancer in the same way, but Arsie's positive outlook was something that we believe could be very useful for many; Arsie saw cancer as something to be challenged, defeated and overcome. We spoke about Arise back in 2021 when we first noticed her presence on TikTok and so felt that this interview would be a perfect finale to the incredible journey caretoshare has taken. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did and stay tuned to see what the future holds for caretoshare!

S2, ep 7: Going Back to "Normal" Life After Cancer
On the final episode of SEASON 2 we discussed life after cancer. Unless you have experienced cancer yourself or through family/friends, you probably wouldn't realise that 'life after cancer' is a thing. When that bell rings we tend to think that it is over, but for many people this is the time when the dust setttles and the realisation of what has happened becomes apparent. That's why we felt it was important to highlight some concerns that are normal to have and stress how ueseful it is to talk in these situations, take it each day at a time, and focus on small goals. It's a marathon, not a race! But first our cancer of tge week: prostate cancer...
