Welcome to the Move Against Cancer Podcast. This podcast aspires to support and inspire people to move, exercise and live an active and fulfilling life despite a cancer diagnosis. We share the stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. We know that many people are scared to stay active during cancer treatment. We know that for some, cancer can take away the hope that comes from dreaming of a future. And we know many people diagnosed with cancer feel isolated and lonely. We hope that by sharing the stories of others finding their own way through cancer, the Move Against Cancer podcast will provide hope, support and a sense of empowerment to anyone living with or beyond cancer. Unfortunately, cancer will affect everyone either personally or through our loved ones and so whatever position you are in we hope you will learn and be inspired by our podcast. Thank you so much for listening.

    Talking juggling junior doctor life and cancer life with Krista Bose.

    Krista is an NHS junior doctor. She also has metastatic bone cancer. She qualified as a doctor in 2021, in-between lockdowns and chemotherapy regimes, despite having been told when her sarcoma returned that there was no way she could finish medical school. Krista likes proving her doctors wrong. As part of her primary treatment she had her femur, knee, top of her tibia and all 4 of her quadriceps muscles resected. Last year she climbed Mount Toukbal in the Atlas mountains. This year she is gunning for Kilimanjaro. Krista has a moving, funny, beautiful Instagram blog where she shares titbits from her life as a junior doctor, her life as someone living with cancer and above all, her overwhelming lust for life. Find her on instagram HERE. This conversation was a real treat. We hope you enjoy! Bone cancer research trustSarcoma UK

    Talking supporting and caring for a partner who has a cancer diagnosis, with guest Leah Barrow.

In this episode they discuss: -Andrew’s previous treatment and very recently receiving news that the cancer had returned.-The highs and lows that a couple goes through when one of them has cancer.-How life changes for the partner, as well as the person with the diagnosis.-How being a partner of someone with cancer can be lonely and isolating.-Coping mechanisms and how looking after yourself means you can be a better version of you to support your partner through their treatment and beyond.-How still doing things that you enjoy together and also communicating and being honest with each other can benefit the relationship.-Advice and support for partners of someone with cancer. This is the first episode we’ve done which features a partner as opposed to the person with cancer themselves and we guarantee that even if you are not affected by cancer directly, you will learn something from this episode and you will feel inspired by Leah’s strength, character and honesty.
