"I don't think people know how to reach out. They want to but end up saying the cliches." Radio Therapy contributors Grace McLaughlin and Eilidh Gall reckon the podcast won't just help young people with cancer, but give their friends and families greater insight too. They're also keen for medical professionals to listen so they can understand where they can improve on things such as breaking the news of a diagnosis.

It's hoped a new no-holds-barred podcast about young Scots with cancer will help other patients, their families, and even medical professionals. Believed to be the first of its kind in the world, Radio Therapy sees eight young people discuss their health journeys in unfiltered detail. They cover everything from the shock of diagnosis and indignities of treatment, to more unexpected elements such as mental struggles after remission, all while dealing with the problems of the teenage years and early adulthood. The podcast is the brainchild of Julie Cain @TeenageCancer National Lead Nurse for Scotland. It was made possible by support from charity Every Thank You Counts. Co-founder Molly Cuddihy has shared her story with Radio Therapy. All six episodes are available now on all major streaming platforms: bit.ly/3VHevwh #TYACancerAwarenessMonth
