This week’s guest is Natalie Woodward, a truly remarkable young woman. She was diagnosed with metastatic bowel cancer at the age of 36, but after a full year of treatment, the cancer started to grow. In the middle of the pandemic, she literally had the mother of all operations to remove it. She had to learn to walk again. To dance again. To accept she would never have sex again. And yet there is still hope.   She is passionate about balancing the scales when it comes to cancer treatment. Cancer poverty is a thing. Many people have to give up their jobs during treatment and worry about how they will pay the bills or keep a roof over their head. Not everyone is lucky to have a partner who can support them. Similarly, there is a real postcode lottery when it comes to trials and the latest treatments. If you live in a rural area, hundreds of miles from a big cancer centre, or you can’t afford to pay for something privately, you may get different treatments which could affect how long you survive.   I would love to know your thoughts on all of this – let me know. And please do find Natalie on social media and tell her how wonderful she is. Let’s spread the joy.

Natalie Woodward: Bowel Cancer, Survival and Hope

Imagine being told you have incurable Bowel cancer and have to undergo a 12 hour operation to remove your ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina, rectum, anus, 4 spinal nerves, left piriformis muscle, left pelvic sidewall and a left ureterectomy with reimplantation into the bladder. That’s just a handful of what 36 year old Natalie Woodward has had to go through. I caught up with this wonder woman about how she’s doing, what drives her positivity and looking ahead.

Tits Talks - Natalie Woodward 'Kicking the life out of incurable bowel cancer at just 36' 

This week Natalie is joined by her life long friend Natalie Woodward as they talk about fighting cancer, the effects of Coronavirus on those shielding and the damaging effects of diet culture. In order to raise awareness of bowel cancer, Natalie (Woodward) discuss in detail the major surgery she faces at just 38 years old in order to prolong her life. She talks frankly about her journey over the last 20 months, including having a stoma fitted, rounds of chemotherapy and her biggest challenge to date. She also talks openly and emotionally about her battle with anorexia in her earlier years and how cancer has had a major effect on her self image, giving her a new sense of respect and love for her body. This episode was recorded remotely ahead of Natalies surgery.
