The Aftershock Podcast The Aftershock

There are many treatment options a cancer patient may face. Some are well known, others are not. The lack of knowledge around radiation treatment can stress people out which is why in this episode of The Aftershock Podcast, we are joined by Radiation Therapist, Nat. Nat shares with us how radiation therapy can help and cure patients of their cancer, and the approaches her and her team take to educate patients and their families.

For Briony Benjamin, life was going along pretty well.
That was until at the age of 31, when Briony was diagnosed with advanced stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Going through cancer treatment was life changing, so Briony wrote a book about it.
In this episode of The Aftershock Podcast I speak to Briony Benjamin, author of Life is tough but so are you.
There was so much I took out of this book, so I couldn't wait to chat to Briony and dive deeper into her experience of the aftershock of a cancer diagnosis.
