These days, Cancer and Heart Disease affect far too many men and women.

In our podcast, we open up about our own journeys — from diagnosis and treatment to the vital support of family, friends, and the mental health battles in between. We dive into the resources available, both medical and financial, and share the ways outside support can make all the difference. But it’s not all heavy. We also talk about everyday life — news, sports, hobbies, arts, crafts — the things that keep us smiling through the toughest times. Special guests join us too, bringing their own stories, experiences, and fresh perspectives. Most importantly, our podcast is light-hearted, funny, relatable, and inspiring. It’s informative without being overwhelming — and once you tune in, you’ll want to keep coming back. So join us, laugh with us, and remember: all we ask is just a little smile.

    Cancer & Hope

    Send us a text Season 3 Episode 19 As we welcome in the New Year, Patrick opens this special episode of Who’s Tom & Dick with a slightly different format. Martin is sadly not with us today as he continues to recover from his recent illness and is currently battling laryngitis. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to having him back behind the mic very soon. In Martin’s absence, this episode focuses on something that touches almost every family in some way — cancer. Patrick is joined by one of America’s leading oncologists Dr Usifar for an open, honest, and incredibly informative conversation designed to empower listeners with knowledge, clarity, and reassurance. Together, they discuss the things everyone should know about cancer: early warning signs, changes in the body to look out for, when to seek medical advice, and how modern medicine is advancing detection and treatment. The conversation covers surgery, chemotherapy, treatment pathways, side effects, recovery, and emerging cures, as well as the emotional and physical realities patients and families often face. The episode also tackles a critical and often overlooked topic — cancer-related scams — highlighting what to avoid, how to protect yourself and loved ones, and where to find trusted, evidence-based information. This is a compassionate, practical, and eye-opening discussion aimed at starting the year informed, aware, and prepared. Whether you’re personally affected, supporting someone else, or simply want to understand more, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and hope. #HeartTransplant #eatingdisorder #RareCondition #HealthJourney #LifeChangingDiagnosis #MentalHealth #Vulnerability #SelfCompassion #PostTraumaticGrowth #MedicalMiracle #BBCSports #Inspiration #Cardiology #Surgery #Podcast #Healthcare #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #EmotionalJourney #SupportSystem #HealthcareHeroes #PatientStories #CardiologyCare #MedicalJourney #LifeLessons #MentalWellness #HealthAwareness #InspirationalTalk #LivingWithIllness #RareDiseaseAwareness #SharingIsCaring #MedicalSupport #BBCReporter #HeartDisease #PodcastInterview #HealthTalk #Empowerment #Wellbeing #HealthPodcast #prostatecancer #Aid's #prostate Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

    Before the Baubles

    Send us a text Season 3 Episode 17 Welcome back to Who’s Tom & Dick. In this episode, Patrick and Martin finally sit down together for a proper catch-up since Martin’s return home from hospital. It’s a conversation that’s been a long time coming — honest, unfiltered, and rooted in real life. Martin shares how the past days have been since coming home: the small wins, the ongoing challenges, and what recovery actually looks like away from the hospital ward. Patrick and Martin reflect on the physical and emotional realities of navigating long-term and life-changing health conditions, speaking openly about Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis, Strokes, and Prostate Cancer — topics that affect so many families, yet are still too often whispered about or avoided altogether. This episode isn’t about medical jargon or scare stories. It’s about lived experience, resilience, and the importance of talking — properly talking — about health, vulnerability, and support. There are moments of reflection, moments of honesty, and moments where laughter becomes just as important as the conversation itself. And because it wouldn’t be Who’s Tom & Dick without ending on a high, the episode wraps up with a bit of festive warmth, Christmas cheer, and the return of a firm favourite… Martin’s Joke of the Week — proving once again that even in the face of serious challenges, humour still has its place. So make yourself comfortable, grab a brew, and join us for a heartfelt, hopeful, and very Who’s Tom & Dick Christmas catch-up. www.whostomanddick.com #HeartTransplant #eatingdisorder #RareCondition #HealthJourney #LifeChangingDiagnosis #MentalHealth #Vulnerability #SelfCompassion #PostTraumaticGrowth #MedicalMiracle #BBCSports #Inspiration #Cardiology #Surgery #Podcast #Healthcare #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #EmotionalJourney #SupportSystem #HealthcareHeroes #PatientStories #CardiologyCare #MedicalJourney #LifeLessons #MentalWellness #HealthAwareness #InspirationalTalk #LivingWithIllness #RareDiseaseAwareness #SharingIsCaring #MedicalSupport #BBCReporter #HeartDisease #PodcastInterview #HealthTalk #Empowerment #Wellbeing #HealthPodcast #prostatecancer #Aid's #prostate Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

    Pneumonia Plot Twist

    Send us a text Season 3 Episode 16 “Martin’s Medical Mayhem: The Plot Thickens” In this week’s episode, we catch up on what can only be described as Martin’s trilogy of unfortunate health events—a saga that started calmly enough with a routine “Well Man” examination and rapidly unravelled into something straight out of a hospital drama. First came the Achilles disaster. One wrong move, one loud snap, and suddenly Martin is strapped into a moon-boot, sentenced to eight long weeks of hobbling around like a budget Stormtrooper. Spirits high, mobility low. Then, just as he was adjusting to life at half speed, a routine blood test decided to throw in a plot twist. What should have been a quick in-and-out appointment turned into a red-flag phone call from the GP, an urgent referral, and whispers of a chest infection with possible pneumonia. Cue the MRI tests, scans, monitoring, and a diagnosis that takes a nasty turn no one expected. We break down the timeline, the symptoms, the worry, and of course—Martin’s own colourful retelling of events. From limping into clinics to being told off by nurses, to unexpected twists in the test results, this episode has the perfect mix of humour and heart. Join us as we unpack the chaos, support my mate, and discuss why Martin may genuinely qualify for his own loyalty card at the local West Suffolk hospital by now. Strap in—it’s Martin, medicine, and mayhem in equal measure. #HeartTransplant #eatingdisorder #RareCondition #HealthJourney #LifeChangingDiagnosis #MentalHealth #Vulnerability #SelfCompassion #PostTraumaticGrowth #MedicalMiracle #BBCSports #Inspiration #Cardiology #Surgery #Podcast #Healthcare #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #EmotionalJourney #SupportSystem #HealthcareHeroes #PatientStories #CardiologyCare #MedicalJourney #LifeLessons #MentalWellness #HealthAwareness #InspirationalTalk #LivingWithIllness #RareDiseaseAwareness #SharingIsCaring #MedicalSupport #BBCReporter #HeartDisease #PodcastInterview #HealthTalk #Empowerment #Wellbeing #HealthPodcast #prostatecancer #Aid's #prostate Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

To encourage, empower, and support young people with disabilities by helping them step confidently into the workforce. And they’re not doing this through theory… they’re doing it through opportunity.

Here, volunteers and trainees don’t just help out… they thrive. They follow structured programmes, linked to apprenticeship pathways, to build essential life and workplace skills — from food preparation and customer service to handling money, teamwork, and stepping proudly into independence. 21 Young Hearts is more than a café. It’s a launchpad. A safe, supportive, energising environment where young people with disabilities get to shine, contribute, and feel part of something bigger. Listen to Lilly, she is delightful and will tell you in her own words how important this hub is and how its changed her life.

Working with both adults and children, Lucy supports people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, phobias and bereavement — but her approach is anything but traditional. Lucy breaks down the Human Givens framework, which is based on a simple truth: when our essential emotional and physical needs aren’t met, life gets tough. She shares how practical tools, forward-focused thinking, and relaxation techniques can help people reclaim balance without endlessly revisiting past trauma. This episode is packed with clear guidance, powerful insights, and plenty of Tom & Dick curiosity as Patrick and Martin explore how Lucy helps clients tap into their own mental resources to rebuild confidence, reduce stress and move toward real recovery. A must-listen for anyone wanting to understand mental health in a more human, hopeful and practical way. https://lucydaytherapy.co.uk #HeartTransplant #eatingdisorder #RareCondition #HealthJourney #LifeChangingDiagnosis #MentalHealth #Vulnerability #SelfCompassion #PostTraumaticGrowth #MedicalMiracle #BBCSports #Inspiration #Cardiology #Surgery #Podcast #Healthcare #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #EmotionalJourney #SupportSystem #HealthcareHeroes #PatientStories #CardiologyCare #MedicalJourney #LifeLessons #MentalWellness #HealthAwareness #InspirationalTalk #LivingWithIllness #RareDiseaseAwareness #SharingIsCaring #MedicalSupport #BBCReporter #HeartDisease #PodcastInterview #HealthTalk #Empowerment #Wellbeing #HealthPodcast #prostatecancer #Aid's #prostate Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com Check out our website at www.whostomanddick.com
