If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you or someone you love has recently received some unwelcome news: you’ve got cancer.
Those are three words that nobody wants to hear.
There are 375,000 cancer diagnoses in the UK every year and if you’re one of them, no doubt you’ll have a lot of questions. The first of which is likely, “now what?”
Now What? Your Cancer Support Podcast is hosted by Julia Bradbury and features personal testimony from over a dozen patients from Guys and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, all of whom have been through the cancer journey. Across a variety of topics, such as coping with a diagnosis and building a support network, they’ll offer advice and first-hand experience with a disease that will at some point, either directly or indirectly, affect us all. Think of them as your cancer support group…just in audio form.
This podcast was developed in collaboration with the Cancer Psychology Collective.

Having cancer can be a very lonely and isolating experience.
It can put undue strain on your relationships and make it difficult to relate to those around you who are not dealing with a potentially deadly disease. Most people will want to help but not everyone will know how, and relationships that were once comfortable and easy might be fraught with awkward missteps as your loved ones come to grips with your diagnosis. In this episode, you’ll hear from your peers about how they found their support system while also maintaining their privacy and independence.
