AfterThoughts was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community.
We're back! Can you believe it? We're back for another series of AfterThoughts and we're making our return with the brilliant Reielle. Reielle was diagnosed with Stage IV adrenal cortical carcinoma in her 20s. We chat about finding connection, the opportunities that cancer can afford you and the physical adjustments we have to make in the wake of a cancer diagnosis. All featuring a puppy that really wanted to be part of the convo and seemed intent on letting us know she was there.

Next Episode
Jay - Body Image, Survivor's Responsibility and Preempting Chaos
AfterThoughts was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community.
In this episode, we're joined by the wise and wonderful Jay (they/them) who Zoomed in all the way from Pisa in Italy. Jay was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma and relapsed a few years after their first lot of treatment. They told us "I like cancer like I like my men. Treating me like shit and coming back when I've just got over them".
We chat being Queer in the most hetero of spaces (the fertility clinic), learning not to take responsibility for everyone else's experiences (tricky but essential for survival) and navigating what relapse means when you've just superglued your life back together. Jay is insightful and witty and just an all round babe.
