    A deep dive into breast cancer with the charity Breast Cancer Now

    This week ⁠Sarah⁠ continues to fly solo on the podcast with a deep dive into breast cancer with the largest breast cancer charity in the UK, Breast Cancer Now. Sarah is joined by Sally Kum who is the Associate Director of Nursing, Healthcare, Professional Engagement and Health Information who talks about the incredible work done by the charity around research, funding and support for anyone affected by breast cancer. Sally shares some of the latest findings that show breast cancer diagnoses are increasing in the UK and she explains some of the different types of breast cancer. This episode was recorded on 29th July which by chance was the same day on which the the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) announced the NHS would not be making the drug Enhertu available to patients in England. Enhertu is a life-extending drug for certain women with incurable HER2-low secondary breast cancer, and in an emotional moment, Sarah explores the impact of this and how you can have your voice heard through an online petition. You can read the Enhertu announcement from NICE here. We'd like to hear about your experiences with cancer, so please do get in touch if you’d like to share.

    How health and fitness can influence your cancer story

    On this week’s episode, Sarah takes the mic while Jeremy is away on holiday, and she’s joined by a special guest in the studio to talk about health, fitness and nutrition. Jo Edmondson is a friend of both Jeremy and Sarah who is not only an exercise consultant, but has also recovered from her own breast cancer diagnosis which involved both chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Jo was a healthy 40 year old, enjoying regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle, even competing in 3 ultra-marathons but found herself embarrassed to share her diagnosis back in 2016 (she thinks). Jo is now fully recovered and talks to Sarah about her cancer experience and why her mantra for life is to be ‘fit for anything’ as a coping mechanism - be that a medical diagnosis or other life events, and how exercise can play a key role in that. Jo and Sarah also talk about how to get started with exercise, finding motivation and different types of food - and why a little bit of what you fancy is no bad thing! The discussion also considers how additional guidance around health, fitness and nutrition could help cancer patients at the diagnosis stage going beyond the science, with practical tips on how to improve your overall health and fitness.

    A stoical story about losing an eye to cancer

    Tessa Parry-Wingfield shares her extraordinary story. Tessa, who runs a communications company and lives in London with her husband and two daughters, was out for a regular run just over a year ago when her vision felt slighty blurry. It turned out she had a large tumour within her eye which very quickly had to be removed. Here Tessa reveals how it felt knowing an eye was to be taken out, talks about the operation itself, and how she’s about to have a 3-D printed eye to replace the one she lost. Tessa also talks about telling her children, the novel use of spreadsheets for treatment notes, and how she wanted her close friends to treat her post-surgery.

    How to look & feel your best for treatment and your kids.

    How you look can affect how you feel when you live with cancer. And as your body and mind cope with all the changes they’re dealing with, so does the way you want (and can) present yourself to the world. Vickie Keeble, the former style director of Net-A-Porter and Matches Fashion, who is living with secondary breast cancer, tells Sarah and Jeremy about the styling tips she uses to tackle everything from trips to the hospital to how her two young children want their mum to appear. The book Vickie mentions in the episode is called Mummy Has A Lump by Simone Baldwin. Other mentions you may find useful are Lola’s Lashes; Wigs for Heroes; and the fact that M&S post-surgery bras are VAT-free.

    Can cancer be funny? When humour is sometimes just the tonic.

    Cancer and humour may not appear to be obvious bedmates, but for some people it can provide a dose of light relief, or even make it easier for them to talk about what they’re going through. But it can be a fine line between what’s okay and what’s not - so how do you navigate it? Broadcaster and comedian Maria McErlane - Graham Norton’s radio agony aunt - talks to Sarah and Jeremy about how humour and mischief were a key element to her friendship with Nigella Lawson’s husband, John Diamond, when he was dying from throat cancer.
