“I have just completed listening to the podcast – it was great on all levels – how do you manage to be so fluent with such difficult and searching questions? I think that what is so effective about both your book and this is how your complete honesty and integrity is so obvious that the truth of what you say cannot be avoided or argued away. So well done and also thankyou for being so ready to show vulnerability in a way to inform all those with ears to hear.” – Teresa Taylor, retired counsellor
Cordelia’s latest podcast is here.
Cancer survivor and Psychologist, Dr @cordeliagalgut sits down with Dr @FGoodhart to discuss some of cancer’s little spoken about long-term effects.
This podcast was made before #COVID2019 hit us all. Many of us #livingwithandbeyondcancer are at high risk of becoming v unwell, so all that we say in this podcast will be exacerbated by the current situation. A v scary time for many others as well
‘I was astounded to find that many others were feeling as I was’
Head over to @macmillancancer’s blog to hear from @cordeliagalgut on the subject of her new book; Living With the Long-Term Effects of Cancer.
The Problem of Cancer’s Long term Effects by Cordelia
Also on the blog is her poem Please Don’t
