Humor Beats Cancer with Olivia Clarke

Cancer can be a traumatic experience in both mind and body. Once treatment ends many of us struggle with the fear of reoccurrence. But what if happens when you discover that your cancer has returned?

Our guest for this episode is Olivia Clarke, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. At the end of 2021, her cancer returned.

Despite the challenges she faced in her life, she decided to find humor in her own little ways. This experience has also motivated her to form an online community where she helps people who are undergoing cancer treatment by raising money and awareness with her blog Humor Beats Cancer.

I met Olivia on Instagram in 2018 when I was going through treatment for breast cancer. She reached out to me and I submitted a post for Humor Beats Cancer. I shared one of my more embarrassing stories! You can read it here.

 

In this episode, we talked about:

• How do you move on after having cancer
• Why you don’t need to be as active as you were pre-cancer
• How does cancer affect our relationship with friends and family
• What is the importance of a therapist while dealing with cancer
• Is it possible to go back to your life pre-cancer
