The Teenage Years: Wrap Up

Episode notes

AfterThoughts was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community.

THE WHOLE GANG IS BACK TOGETHER. Join Aiden, Shaumya AND Toby and Alice as we take  a look back over some of our favourite stories from this series. 

We take it theme by theme and try to agree on the best bits. It ain't always easy, but we get there in the end. And what a series it's been. We've talked about long term impacts, feeling psychic, chicken nuggets, getting back to work, the mental health impacts, cancer with a newborn, navigating fatigue, writing a will, the power of words, facing your fears and having the best job in the world and tonnes more. And we've done it all with our new hosts Aiden and Shaumya.

If you haven't listened to each of the full episodes yet, you definitely should. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel...dare we say it...inspired...and you'll feel less alone. 

Thanks to our amazing storytellers for showing up for AfterThoughts. We couldn't do it without them.
