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

We're BACK with a BANG and a Bhavan for Series Two! Taking on the stories of The Teenage Years, our first storyteller Bhav, who was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma at the age of 13 joins us to talk music lessons, his TCT youth co-ordinator, the change in mindset that comes with a cancer diagnosis, kebabs and the pals you meet along the way.

AfterThoughts : The Teenage Years is supported by Teenage Cancer Trust. Teenage Cancer Trust support those diagnosed with cancer when they're 13-24 and provide specialised nursing care and support to get them through treatment.

As ever, AfterThoughts deals with some conversations you may find tricky to listen to. If you need any further support, please don't hesitate to reach out to a friend, or find support from any of the brilliant charities online.

Due to the social distancing restrictions we're all under at the moment, this episode was recorded via Zoom, so the sound quality might not be as good as we'd usually hope. We hope you'll forgive us, given the exceptional circumstances.
