Cancer as a couple with Yasu Oshima
Listen now
Description
This one's a little special. This is me and my husband having a chat about the fact that we are both cancer survivors. We've never actually spoken together like this and so for both of us, it was a bit of a challenge on many fronts. English is Yasu’s second language and Japanese is mine, so we've done the broadcast in English and in Japanese https://www.outruncancer.net/new-blog/episode-three ((Episode 3)). It was a little scary for us going into this conversation. We're talking about something that happened many years ago for my husband (23 years ago) and something relatively recent for me (five years), but you’ll hear us talk through some important things about surviving and supporting each other through cancer with the benefit of hindsight. If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we’d love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

In this episode you’ll hear: What happened the day Yasu discovered something not quite right when he was just 29 years old How we were as a couple and the challenges that cancer brings to body image Some of the process and steps that we went through and how much things have changed from more than 20 years ago How we as a couple made decisions - together - and sometimes alone, but knowing that we had each other’s support How we learned to find smiles and laughs through the tough moments Connect with Vanessa: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanessa_outruncancer/ (https://www.instagram.com/vanessa_outruncancer/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessa-oshima-she-her-37b51113/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessa-oshima-she-her-37b51113/) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/weoutruncancer (https://www.facebook.com/weoutruncancer)
