Breast Cancer: Sitting On Your Shoulder
Show Notes

Naked Health is a podcast brought to you by Dr Penny Ward, a UK based GP. She aims to strip medicine back to basics, eliminating the need for you to turn to Google following your consultation. Speaking to people about their individual health journeys, she aims to answer questions you may not have known to ask.
In this first episode she speaks to Sara Liyanage, author of 'Ticking Off Breast Cancer': what shouldn't you say to someone diagnosed with cancer, what should you pack to take to chemotherapy, what is the cold cap? And what is that sitting on your shoulder?
