AfterThoughts

Series Five: Wrap Up

Listen on

Episode notes

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

As ever, we like to end a series by taking a look back over some of our favourite stories from the 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 sex, leg funerals, stomas, body image, raising tiny humans, 'dumping out', survivors responsibility, having a rare cancer, feeling held back, pre-empting chaos and so, so, so much more.

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. Reielle, Jay, Krista, Jake, Sukhy, Sean, Natalie. You're our Series Five superstars.
