Who is GIRLvsCancer?

Lauren Mahon was diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2016, and in her own words she was sure they were ‘having a laugh – how could she have breast cancer when her boobs are more of a nod to a boob – a goodwill gesture’.

GIRLvsCANCER

Seeking reassurance and support, Lauren discovered that the resources out there didn’t speak to her at all. So, she created her own platform, GIRLvsCANCER, to share her own experiences. GIRLvsCANCER has since expanded into an authentic Instagram community to tackle the cancer taboo and provide a safe space for fierce folk affected to feel empowered to deal with their cancer diagnosis, whilst raising money for cancer charities. Lauren is also well known for her podcast, ‘You, Me and The Big C’, on BBC5 Live. Lauren and her co-hosts are working to change the way that people perceive cancer through opening up the conversation on this sensitive subject.

    Vulval dryness: the external symptoms women don't see coming.

    When people talk about “vaginal” dryness, the conversation usually stays internal. But for many, the first and most noticeable symptoms are external — on the vulva — and because they don't fit the expected picture, they're easily misread or missed entirely.
