Ryan Brovin - Lost time, appreciating the rain and catheter farts - 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.

Once again, we’ve made it to the end of another series of AfterThoughts and while we won’t say we’ve saved the best til last (because how could we when we’ve had such a great series of storytellers), you’re certainly in for a treat today. In this, the final episode of Series 3, we are joined by the inimitable Ryan Brovin - the second northern Ryan we’ve been lucky enough to have on AfterThoughts. Ryan was diagnosed with a brain tumour when he was 21. He joined us to talk about playing catch up with your peers after treatment, leaving your brother at the airport for the trip of a lifetime and then heading straight off to w*nk in a cup for fertility preservation (only in cancer life) and not needing cancer to remind us life is precious.
