&quot;You&apos;re young &amp; healthy.&quot; <p> </p> <p>This was a quote that I heard time &amp; time again with my young patients. If they&apos;re so young &amp; healthy, then why do they have cancer?</p> <p> </p> <p>As frustrating as that may be for us to hear, imagine hearing that as a patient.</p> <p> </p> <p>For Shauna O&apos;Brien of the Too Young For This Shit Podcast, this is her reality. </p> <p>Shauna was diagnosed with breast cancer at 32 &amp; underwent surgery, chemotherapy, &amp; radiation therapy in a whirlwind year.  At the end of that year, in her words, &quot;you get thrown to the wolves.&quot;</p> <p> </p> <p>In our interview, we talk about the fact that it’s important to hear the patient’s side of things - their point of view &amp; the different aspects of life that cancer affects: physically, emotionally, mentally, relationships, socially, etc., and the positive effects of physical therapy.</p> <p><a href='https://patreon.com/theoncopt'>Support TheOncoPT Podcast on Patreon.</a></p> <p></p><p>Download your FREE <a href="https://theoncopt.ck.page/d8eff7bc9e">Quick Guide to Treating Patients with Cancer</a>.<br><em>Because it's not if, it's </em><strong><em>when</em></strong><em> you'll treat a person with cancer.</em><br><em><br></em>Follow TheOncoPT on Instagram:<br><a href="https://Instagram.com/TheOncoPT">https://Instagram.com/TheOncoPT</a><br><br></p> <p>This episode is brought to you by our brand new Cancer Basics Course. &nbsp;</p><p>With the Cancer Basics Course, you’ll get our exact blueprint to start treating people with cancer confidently &amp; competently.&nbsp; No more ramshackling together your oncology knowledge.</p><p>Start treating your patients with cancer confidently &amp; competently TODAY.&nbsp; Register now at <a href="https://TheOncoPT.com/cancerbasicscourse">TheOncoPT.com/cancerbasicscourse</a></p><p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/theoncopt/'>Follow TheOncoPT on Instagram.<br/></a><a href='https://tiktok.com/@theoncopt'>Follow TheOncoPT on TikTok.<br/></a><a href='ht
