Have you ever heard the expression “what’s the tea?” According to urban dictionary it means when someone has gossip and you want to know every detail of as soon as possible. So that’s what this podcast is- spilling the tea on what it’s like to have cancer (or the big C) as a young person in Northern Ireland. Recorded in 2021 during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic this podcast series is hosted by Laura from Young Lives vs Cancer (formerly known as CLIC Sargent) and Helen from Cancer Fund for Children. We have come together to talk about cancer services in NI and share the stories of the young people and families we support.

Happy 2025! In this podcast Laura from Young Lives vs Cancer in Northern Ireland and Helen from Cancer Fund for Children chat to the wonderful Keira and Sophie. Keira was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) when she was 14 years old. Sophie was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma when she was 11 years old. After meeting at a Cancer Fund for Children residential they have become fierce friends and spend this episode chatting about their diagnosis and treatment, life in hospital, their wonderful dads, hair loss and how important it’s been to meet others who just get it.
In this podcast we reference some different charities and events that young people with cancer can access. They are: Cancer Fund for Children (see contact details below and more information below), the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, and Barretstown in the Republic of Ireland.
