    The Teenage Years Thoughtcasts: Mental Health

    AfterThoughts was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community. We're back to bring you some extra special episodes to say ta'ra to Series Six - our Thoughtcasts. Bitesized episodes exploring three themes that some of our storytellers touched on. We often hear how going through cancer leaves us focusing on our physical health - but we forget about the other, just as important part of our health, the mental and emotional side of things. This Thoughtcast shines a light on that.

    The Teenage Years: Wrap Up

    AfterThoughts was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community. THE WHOLE GANG IS BACK TOGETHER. Join Aiden, Shaumya AND Toby and Alice as we take  a look back over some of our favourite stories from this series.  We take it theme by theme and try to agree on the best bits. It ain't always easy, but we get there in the end. And what a series it's been. We've talked about long term impacts, feeling psychic, chicken nuggets, getting back to work, the mental health impacts, cancer with a newborn, navigating fatigue, writing a will, the power of words, facing your fears and having the best job in the world and tonnes more. And we've done it all with our new hosts Aiden and Shaumya. If you haven't listened to each of the full episodes yet, you definitely should. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel...dare we say it...inspired...and you'll feel less alone.  Thanks to our amazing storytellers for showing up for AfterThoughts. We couldn't do it without them. _______________________________________________________________ AfterThoughts is hosted by Aiden Grant and Shaumya Kularajan Find AfterThoughts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram AfterThoughts : The Teenage Years is supported by Teenage Cancer Trust.

    The Teenage Years: Amber - Cancer Connections, BC and AC and Long Term Impacts

    AfterThoughts: The Teenage Years was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community. For the final episode of the series, we're joined by Amber. Amber's from Ballymena in Northern Ireland, meaning we've ticked off England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales with this series. Feels like a pretty cool achievement.  BUT ENOUGH ABOUT US. This is about Amber. She was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour (which she initially thought was a hangover) when she was 19 and was only the third person in Northern Ireland to be diagnosed with her tumour. We chatted about the support she got from her incredible Teenage Cancer Trust nurse, Carrie, using the cancer card and how being diagnosed with cancer at a young age changed her outlook on life. _______________________________________________________________ AfterThoughts is hosted by Aiden Grant and Shaumya Kularajan Find AfterThoughts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram AfterThoughts : The Teenage Years is supported by Teenage Cancer Trust.

    The Teenage Years: Poppy - Cancer with a newborn, Navigating Fatigue and Finding Hope

    AfterThoughts: The Teenage Years was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community. For episode four, we're joined by Poppy for her incredible stories of being diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma when she was 23. Not only is being diagnosed with cancer at 23 rare, Poppy was pregnant at the time. Her daughter, Bella (who she calls her boss) was born two days after her diagnosis, six weeks early. She spent over 130 nights away from her daughter in her first year of being alive due to cancer treatment. Poppy tells us about her post-birth baby shower before treatment began, trying not to be the girl who has cancer, finding Mummy's Star (a charity specifically for those who experience cancer around pregnancy) and being a team with her mum, her partner Tom and Bella. _______________________________________________________________ AfterThoughts is hosted by Aiden Grant and Shaumya Kularajan Find AfterThoughts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram AfterThoughts : The Teenage Years is supported by Teenage Cancer Trust.
