Questioning why cancer after care treatment is almost non existent, after the bell, in country after country. And who benefits from keeping it that way. It focuses on the questions that rarely get asked once awareness has been raised and the conversation moves on.
#CancerCanDoOne Podcast #AfterTheBell
Dr Olubukola Ayodele takes the words the health system uses about race and turns each one into a question. Minority where and underrepresented in what. Her argument is that the reference population in Western medicine isn’t the one in front of her. Screening committees then cite that evidence as neutral. The consequences follow: a woman three years into waiting for a screening invitation, support groups where the jokes don’t land, and communities who believe cancer is a white people’s problem because that’s what the pictures show.

"What's Forgotten Is The Shock, The Patient, The Struggle...The Wow."
It's got that reputation hasn't it? Switzerland runs like clockwork. Gold standard everything that leaves the rest of us, well, runners-up.
I've spoken now to so many people in so many different countries who all say post cancer treatment is basically a shambles. Country after country - the support that was your cancer patient life, gone in an instant. Yep. Gone. End. You fall off a cliff.
So this time I spoke to Catherine Schopfer and to quote her LinkedIn page "Cancer Coach | Advocate | Speaker | Helping individuals, caregivers & organisations navigate cancer with multilingual coaching, training & human-centred partnerships"
Not only has Catherine been a cancer coach for many years - that happened by chance - she did have breast cancer too. So if anyone can tell us how amazing state post cancer treatment can be, in what must be the perfect system it'll be Catherine.
And as I discovered, and you're about to hear, it's both a yes and a really big, But...

Death by Leaflet — Toby Freeman On Why Cancer Awareness For Young People Is So Hard. Not What You Say But How You Say It...Or Silence.
Toby Freeman founded the Robin Cancer Trust at 22 after losing his brother Rob to testicular cancer. Rob was 24, fit, healthy, and had been to the doctors multiple times. Sadly no-one connected the dots until it was too late.
What followed was fourteen years of talking — loudly, honestly, sometimes in a giant testicle costume — about the things young people aren't told and the conversations that don't happen. Fertility. Financial toxicity. The leaflet handed over when there's no time for anything else. And how leaflets are almost a guaranteed failure if you're trying to message young people - unless you're creative. The postcode lottery that determines whether a young person gets the right support at the worst moment of their life.
Toby pushed back on me when I said awareness was a waste of time. And yes, he was absolutely right to. But what he said next - that's the thing worth hearing.
This is Episode 50 of #CancerCanDoOne.
