171: Navigating bowel cancer with Dr Anisha Patel

Dr Anisha Patel is a GP specializing in women’s health whose world was turned upside down with a diagnosis of stage three bowel cancer. She’s the author of the brilliant book Everything You’d Hoped You’d Never Need To Know About Bowel Cancer. I found this such a powerful book, with lessons for all of us whether or not we have cancer. This is a very inspiring conversation about women’s health and how we can all take better care if ourselves.

We talk about:

  • Anisha’s cancer journey
  • How she found the strength to write her book
  • Vulnerability and the emotional aspects of cancer
  • Openness about one’s health with children and family
  • The long-term effects and life after cancer
  • Surviving the survival
  • Psychosocial impacts and support
  • Anisha’s work with charities to set up a life after cancer clinic to provide specialized support
  • Histamine intolerance and menopause
  • Balancing hormone therapy and histamine intolerance
  • Empowering women with knowledge

And lots more!
