   Talk of Hope | S3, Ep3: Family history of lung cancer [Zoe Churchill]

   Our guest this week is Zoe Churchill, whose experience of lung cancer spans both survival and loss. Zoe was diagnosed herself and has since been successfully treated. But her story doesn’t end there, because she also lost her mum to thesame disease. In this episode, we explore what it means to face lung cancer from both sides: as a person navigating diagnosis and recovery, and as a daughter coping with grief, fear, the emotional impact of losing a parent, and where Zoe tries tosee hope.
