The Teenage Years: Phoebe - Cancer and Covid, Maturity and Hazards in the Tudor Home - a podcast by Toby Peach & Alice-May Purkiss

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

Phoebe is the youngest storyteller we've ever had on AfterThoughts and she brings with her a brilliantly unique perspective. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma when she was 13, she joined us to talk about going through cancer treatment at the very start of the Covid-19 pandemic, how her missed diagnosis affected her in a non-medical way and the impact of her diagnosis on her younger sister.  

Phoebe's episode is an unmissable end to a phenomenal series of incredible storytellers on AfterThoughts: The Teenage Years.

AfterThoughts : The Teenage Years is supported by Teenage Cancer Trust. Teenage Cancer Trust support those diagnosed with cancer when they're 13-24 and provide specialised nursing care and support to get them through treatment.

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.

AfterThoughts is produced by Toby Peach and Alice-May Purkiss from Beyond Arts. Sounds by Kieron Lucas and Dinah Mullen.
