The Wrap-Up

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

This time, Toby and Alice dip back in to season one to pull out some of their favourite stories from each of the storytellers on each of the seven themes. Our top picks cover fertility, the inconvenience of cancer, being misgendered, coming from the BAME community and having cancer, FIT doctors, the mental health implications of a diagnosis and what Christmas gift to get for the person who's about to save your life.

The wrap up episode features Brad Gudger, Sophie Trew, Kris Hallenga, Dan, Ryan Collard, Toral Shah and Lulu Socratous.
