Description

What happens after breast cancer treatment ends, and how do you move forward when you do not feel like yourself yet? Boobalicious: Breast Cancer and Beyond is a breast cancer podcast helping women navigate breast cancer treatment, recovery, and long-term survivorship through honest conversations, survivor experiences, and evidence-based guidance. Hosted by breast cancer survivor Chris Kushner and physical therapist Jenni Rai, a breast cancer recovery and lymphedema specialist, Boobalicious combines lived experience with practical medical insight. Together, Chris and Jenni answer the questions women often find themselves searching for during breast cancer treatment and life after breast cancer. How do you safely rebuild strength after a mastectomy? What can you do about lymphedema, post-mastectomy pain, treatment-induced menopause, hormone changes, scanxiety, body image struggles, and fear of cancer recurrence? Boobalicious explores these topics in clear, relatable conversations designed to help breast cancer survivors feel informed, supported, and less alone. Each episode features candid discussions with breast cancer survivors, oncologists, physical therapists, medical experts, advocates, and wellness professionals. Guests share real breast cancer stories, practical recovery strategies, and trustworthy information about the physical and emotional realities of cancer survivorship. Topics include breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, chemotherapy and radiation side effects, mastectomy recovery, breast reconstruction, post-mastectomy pain, hormone-positive breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, medically induced menopause, hormone blockers, lymphedema after breast cancer, safe exercise, physical therapy, cancer PTSD, scanxiety, survivor guilt, mental health, body image, intimacy, wellness trends, and rebuilding confidence after cancer. What will you take away from Boobalicious? ✅ Practical guidance for navigating breast cancer treatment and recovery ✅ Evidence-based information about mastectomy recovery, lymphedema, menopause, exercise, and survivorship ✅ Honest breast cancer survivor stories that reflect the realities of life during and after treatment ✅ Encouragement to rebuild your strength, confidence, and connection with your body Whether you have recently received a breast cancer diagnosis, are undergoing treatment, are recovering from breast cancer surgery, or have been living as a breast cancer survivor for years, Boobalicious meets you where you are. You will hear medically grounded conversations without fear-based noise, unrealistic promises, or pressure to navigate recovery perfectly.
