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.

One thing about cancer that we can all understand on a fundamental level…is that it takes things from us.
It can rob us of our health, our time and worst of all, our independence. In this episode, your peers discuss the messy side of cancer, the parts that can be embarrassing for patients to bring up with even their closest confidants. Colostomy bags, catheters and penis pumps will all be up for discussion, as we speak to patients who’ve had their physiological function significantly impacted by cancer, and that’s just the stuff that's under the hood. You’ll also hear from peers on how they dealt with – and ultimately found peace – with changes to their physical appearance.
