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.

In this podcast Laura from Young Lives vs Cancer and Helen from Cancer Fund for Children speak to Donna and Aileen who both had daughters diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at 15 years old and were treated in the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. They talk about what it was like to raise teenagers with cancer, supporting siblings, motherhood, life after treatment, and the joy of meeting other parents who just get it.
If you are a parent of child, teenager or young adult being treated for cancer in Northern Ireland there are support services out there for you! Get in touch with Cancer Fund for Children (details below) to learn about their parents support sessions, or you can join the Young Lives vs Cancer UK wide parents and carer's Facebook group here.
