Steve Hewlett: 'I discovered there are not many jokes about cancer' - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Earlier this year Steve Hewlett, presenter of Radio 4's The Media Show, was diagnosed as having cancer of the oesophagus, and has been telling us over the last few weeks about his approach to treatment.

In this podcast he talks about his consultant restricting him to one type of drug "to see how his body reacts". Also about the invitation to his local rugby club Christmas lunch, where he was unexpectedly asked to do a speech and discovered "there are not that many jokes about cancer".
