AfterThoughts: The Teenage Years - Dating - a podcast by Toby Peach & Alice-May Purkiss
from 2023-12-13T18:19:24.135218
AfterThoughts: The Teenage Years 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 put Series Four to bed - our Shortcasts. Bitesized episodes exploring three themes that some of our storytellers touched on throughout the series. First up - dating. Because let's face it, dating's enough of a minefield, let alone when you throw cancer into the mix.
Get an insight into what relationships are like for those who've been diagnosed with cancer and, if you're looking for support, Toby and Alice offer their advice on navigating the wild waters of life after cancer.

As ever, AfterThoughts deals with some conversations you may find tricky to listen to. If you need any further support, please don't hesitate to reach out to a friend, or find support from any of the brilliant charities online.
