Karen Hobbs - Comedy, Celine Dion and Cervical Cancer - a podcast by Toby Peach & Alice-May Purkiss

AfterThoughts was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community.

There are not many people in the world who can make cancer actually, genuinely funny, but Karen Hobbs does it. Being diagnosed with cervical cancer when you're 24  is far from a lol-fest, but Karen took those mutated lemons and turned them into lemonade. If you don't know Karen, she's generous, brilliant and she cares a lot about cancer education. She will also make you laugh. A lot. She joined Toby and Alice to chat about a cancer diagnosis that comes out of nowhere, the responsibility of surviving and  having cancer as a secret weapon to get through anything difficult that comes your way.
