Owning Your Recovery
<p>Recovery from cancer is anything but straightforward. </p><br><p>For most, it's an ongoing process, one spanning weeks, months and sometimes even years. Managing the physical recovery, as well as the mental one, takes time. In our tenth and final episode, you’ll hear from peers on the other side of their cancer journeys. They’ll talk about the challenges they faced in the short, medium and long term, what they’ve learned from recovery and how cancer changed their outlook on life. </p><p> </p><p>This podcast was developed in collaboration with the <a href="https://www.cancerpsychologycollective.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cancer Psychology Collective</a>. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.thrivefitonline.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Free online fitness class for cancer surgery recovery</a></p><p> </p><p>For more information and resources relating to the content of today’s episode, visit our website at <a href="https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/preview-link/node/203/412801b4-0072-46dc-9788-db8316f218ff" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk</a>.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Finding Your Support System
<p>Having cancer can be a very lonely and isolating experience. </p><br><p>It can put undue strain on your relationships and make it difficult to relate to those around you who are not dealing with a potentially deadly disease. Most people will want to help but not everyone will know how, and relationships that were once comfortable and easy might be fraught with awkward missteps as your loved ones come to grips with your diagnosis. In this episode, you’ll hear from your peers about how they found their support system while also maintaining their privacy and independence. </p><p> </p><p>This podcast was developed in collaboration with the <a href="https://www.cancerpsychologycollective.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cancer Psychology Collective</a>. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/get-help/emotional-help/online-community" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Macmillan Online Community</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Gutsy-Guys-588264537866196" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Oesophageal and gastric cancer support group</a></p><p><a href="https://theswallows.org.uk/about-us/our-meetings/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Head and neck cancer support group</a></p><p><a href="https://takeabreather.business.blog/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Non-smoking related lung cancer support group</a></p><p> </p><p>For more information relating to the content of today’s episode, visit our website at <a href="https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk</a>.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Palliative Care And End Of Life Planning
<p><strong>Content warning: This episode discusses palliative care and end of life planning, which can be difficult topics for many listeners. Please take care, and reach out the services in our show notes who can offer you advice and support.</strong></p><br><p>Thanks to decades of medical advancement, cancer is no longer the death sentence it once was. Effective treatments mean patients can live much longer with cancer and some even completely overcome the disease. But it wouldn't be right for us to devote an entire podcast series to cancer, without acknowledging the fact that it kills people. Sometimes a patient and their physician can do everything in their power, and it still might not be enough. In episode eight, we're going to tackle the concept of death head on. We'll speak to Joey, a palliative care nurse who works exclusively with patients with life limiting illnesses. We’ll also hear from peers who’ve supported friends through end-of-life cancer care or even experienced a terminal diagnosis themselves. </p><p> </p><p>This podcast was developed in collaboration with the <a href="https://www.cancerpsychologycollective.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cancer Psychology Collective</a>. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/money-legal/legal-issues/making-a-will/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Advice on making a will</a></p><p><a href="http://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/health-information/lets-talk-advance-care-planning" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Talking about advanced care planning</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/money-legal/legal-issues/power-of-attorney" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Advice on power of attorney</a></p><p><a href="https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/help/support" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Practical support on all aspects of terminal illness, dying and bereavement</a></p><p><a href="https://compassionindying.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Support for patients during end-of-life care</a></p><p><a href="https://www.cruse.org.uk/get-support/local-support-phone/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bereavement support</a></p><p> </p><p>For more information and resources relating to the content of today’s episode, visit our website at <a href="https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/preview-link/node/203/412801b4-0072-46dc-9788-db8316f218ff" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk</a>.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
