    Reimagining Resilience - Live at Shine Connect 2024

    In this special live episode, Tatum hosts the podcast with Shine Co-CEO, Ceinwen, and speaks to guests Rena, Matt, Becca and Adam about how they've coped with their diagnoses and what resilience means to them (and whether it's useful).  Rena was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and underwent 15 months of surgery. Matt was diagnosed with two brain tumours at the age of 17. Becca is living with stage 4 bladder cancer. Adam is the partner of Laragh (who has also been on the podcast) who is living with thyroid cancer.

    What does time mean to us now?

    Jesse, Farman and Meera join Tatum to share how their sense of time has been impacted by their cancer diagnoses. All three of our guests are living with an incurable cancer diagnosis and they discuss with Tatum how they live now, including how they cope with the pressure to make the most of their time - whether that means keeping busy or chilling out with their cat and watching Eastenders.

    Pride Special: Gender identity and cancer

    This month we're looking at gender identity and cancer. Whether you're non-binary, trans or questioning, Tatum and our guests are here for you, and they're looking at what it feels like when cancer care is set up to affirm a gender that isn't yours. Matt and Angie tell their stories of cancer and treatment, how they coped with assumptions about what surgeries and drugs they should take, and how they've recovered a sense of self along the way.
