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.
The series is produced by What's The Story.

For many patients, the process of recovery from cancer surgery won’t be a straight line from A to Z.
It can be long and difficult and pose its own set of challenges. There’ll be medication to take, side effects to deal with, and a need to come to grips with permanent changes to your body. In this episode, you’ll hear from your peers on how they managed the difficult transition from life post-surgery to life full stop. They’ll talk about the importance of giving yourself a pat on the back for small wins and treating recovery as a marathon not a sprint to help set yourself up for success.
