You, Me and the Big C: putting the CAN in Cancer
The BBC Radio 5 live show covers with an inspiring tone of voice all topics about Cancer. The show was launched by Lauren, Rachael and Deborah, 3 absolutely fun and touching ladies who are also Cancer patients in the recent years. Rachael unfortunately passed away last September 2018 but her legacy continues and the show goes on. A massive fan.
See here all their podcasts.
