About Cups & Courage The Podcast

Cups & Courage is a podcast about breast cancer, body image, and the power of lived experience. Each episode dives into honest, funny, and courageous conversations with people who’ve been there — patients, survivors, carers, families, and healthcare professionals. We talk about the parts often left out of leaflets and hospital corridors: treatment choices, body confidence, relationships, the pressure to reconstruct, and what breast cancer really feels like day to day. With warmth, humour, and raw honesty, Cups & Courage challenges stigma, amplifies underrepresented voices, and creates space to connect, laugh, cry, and feel understood. Grab a cuppa, pull up a chair, and join the conversation.

   Tanya: Breast Cancer, Going Flat and Fighting for Choice

   When Tanya was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018, the decisions that followed weren’t just about treatment — they were about her body, her identity and the life she needed to get back to.
