Breast Cancer Life

68. Insomnia as a Breast Cancer Survivor

August 21, 2026·21 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Sleep disruption and insomnia can be an overlooked part of life after breast cancer. In this episode of My Breast Cancer Life, I share my personal experience realizing that my sleep problems had become more serious than I initially understood. After years of waking up one to three times during the night, starting a new job with earlier mornings made the impact of my disrupted sleep impossible to ignore. I share what prompted me to seek help, how I approached the conversation with my medical oncologist, and what I learned along the way.
