AfterThoughts

The Teenage Years Thoughtcasts: Difficult Conversations

Listen on

Episode notes

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

We're back to bring you some extra special episodes to say ta'ra to Series Six - our Thoughtcasts. Bitesized episodes exploring three themes that some of our storytellers touched on. We're kicking off by looking at difficult conversations, something Yami, Maddie and Poppy all talked about in their episodes. Yami chats about talking with her boyfriend about being ill, Maddie talks about writing a will, and Poppy discusses conversations about having kids.
