This month we're looking at gender identity and cancer. Whether you're non-binary, trans or questioning, Tatum and our guests are here for you, and they're looking at what it feels like when cancer care is set up to affirm a gender that isn't yours. Matt and Angie tell their stories of cancer and treatment, how they coped with assumptions about what surgeries and drugs they should take, and how they've recovered a sense of self along the way.

This episode looks at the mental health impact of cancer. Not feeling like yourself? Unable to "get back to normal"? You're not alone - and you're not losing it. Cancer is particularly tough for younger adults and in this episode Tatum speaks to three great guests:

- David talks about how he coped after his diagnosis, including scheduling in "crying time".

- Dr. Harriet Forbes talks about her research on the long-term impact mental health impact of cancer.

- Clare, Shine's Programme Delivery Manager, talks about her diagnosis, Shine's programmes, and how people within the Shine community have managed their mental health through cancer.

Many people find that they feel different in their bodies after cancer - you might have lost trust in your body, or feel like your body has turned against you.

In this podcast, Tatum talks to Claudia Knowles, a Research Assistant in the Heathcote Lab / working with Dr Lauren Heathcote looking at the mind-body connection in people who have had cancer. They talk about interoception - they way that we understand our internal bodily signals - and how bodily signals can affect emotions. Claudia talks about how to foster a more helpful mindset after a cancer diagnosis.

The podcast ends with a short relaxation and breathwork session.

Claudia is currently carrying out some research on 'interoception'. If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, you can participate here:bit.ly/MyBodySurvey
