You CANcervive – Let’s Talk About Cancer.
Cancer Survivors Arzoo and Rob aim to make cancer an everyday conversation and get people talking. They want to reach everyone who could potentially find themselves touched by cancer in their lifetime – and that could include you or someone you love.

Podcasts offer powerful messages, adapting, and switching to new ways of working so that we remain connected with our cancer community. Your voice matters and often these stories are intimate and cathartic. It can be so touching and an honour, to hear people open up about personal situations that could face any of us in the future. It’s a fabulous way of supporting each other at home. It’s that safe place, where you just click on a link and hey presto you can be free to laugh and cry. It makes you think outside of the box, so that you consider how others manage and you learn new coping mechanisms, hear of support groups or new contacts.

You are assured of warmth and inclusion in these conversations at a time when we can’t give it in person. Are you ready to give it a go? It’s just like listening to the radio, and you can pause at any time. It’s also a way for you as part of the Yorkshire Cancer Community, to shape how you want it to be. Now is a time for flexibility and we want everyone to feel a part of our huge family. As Spring is around the corner we look at new beginnings, new ideas to include everyone. We hope you will see this as a move to reconnect as we have switched to online communication so swiftly, to be here for you.

Your life matters xxx.
