The Mid•Point with Gabby Logan

Lauren Mahon

Podcaster and activist Lauren Mahon popped by the studio this week with her dog, Ray! Lauren chats to Gabby about the seismic impact <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0608649/episodes/player" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">You, Me And The Big C</a> had on the way people talk about cancer, but also the emotional heavy lifting it required from her on a personal level. She also talks about experiencing a medical menopause as part of her cancer treatment, why it's okay to wallow sometimes, and how liberating it was learning to drive on the cusp of midlife! They also discuss life after cancer, in particular how to approach sex and intimacy - something Lauren is on a mission to get us talking about more.
