    The certainty of the end
    2024/06/14
    This week's bonus episode is in memory of Paola Marra, who made a moving and thought provoking film with world famous photographer Rankin, about her decision to go to Dignitas in Switzerland to die. Katie was privileged enough to speak to Rankin, about why he made the film for the Dignity in Dying Campaign, which was launched in March 2024 to coincide with Paola’s death. He talked about his bond with Paola and how struck he was by her decision to end her life having lived with cancer for seven years. Rankin himself has done a lot of work around Death and Dying, including his exhibition Alive in the Face of Death in 2013, and more recently he published the book: How to Die Well in 2021. Katie also speaks to her friend Cordelia Taylor, who has been living with a brain tumour for five and a half years, and was recently told by her medical team that they are out of options and that she has 2-3 months to live. In response to this Cordelia hosted a Celebration of Life party, which Katie attended. They discuss this as an idea, and they talk about all the feelings Cordelia has surrounding death & dying. Lastly, Katie shares her own news, about the next chapter she is about to embark on in her cancer treatment, having had some progression on a recent scan. https://www.dignityindying.org.uk/about-us/ https://www.actaboveandbeyond.co.uk/

    Lozza aka Big Sister Energy
    2024/03/21
    This week is a sort of bonus episode. At last, Katie speaks with Lauren Mahon, following a few attempts. They have a very open chat about a lot of things. Of course from one podcast host to another they talk about "You, Me & the Big C", and how that legacy lives on. Lauren talks candidly about how she navigates grief and death anxiety, particularly over recent years when so many people close to her have sadly died with cancer. She reflects on the strong and open hearted woman she has become, because of her own breast cancer experience. They discuss sex and cancer, fertility and cancer and of course Lauren’s charity Girl vs Cancer. And she passionately explains why she cares so much about a number of issues and wants to try and make real change. Katie signs off with her own health update, following her second clear scan in January. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0608649/episodes/downloads https://girlvscancer.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/iamlaurenmahon/?hl=en

    Mushrooms
    2023/11/07
    Katie's guest this week has over 20 years working in mycology and the ecosystem, understanding the benefits of mushrooms, and sharing that knowledge all around Europe. In her words she had to evangelise the study of mushrooms to help build her audience and in turn her business. Hearing about the benefits was fascinating, and Katie has first hand experience of their products which she believes have contributed to her wellness hugely.

    Katie is back from her holiday and realises she has become really good at doing nothing, something she is proud to admit. She has a lot to process but isn't quite ready to do that just yet. So she'll wait. She reflects on who she used to be, and how she wants to feel like she is moving forward following everything she's experienced.  Talking With Cancer For all enquiries or to get in touch: hello@talkingwithcancer.com  To follow Katie’s journey on Instagram, go to @talking_withcancer  Artwork & logo design by Emily Juniper.

    Let's look at the "why?"
    2023/10/24
    Katie feels so inspired to have interviewed Dr Nina Fuller Shavel this week. So much so, that she has now become a patient of Synthesis Clinic herself. Their integrative approach to Oncology and Women's Health feels like a breath of fresh, an organisation where healthcare is collaborative, personalised, holistic and above all about feeling well. Nina always wants to look at the "why?"...why does someone feel the way they do and what can be done about it? https://www.synthesisclinic.co.uk/home https://www.instagram.com/synthesisclinic/ Talking With Cancer For all enquiries or to get in touch: hello@talkingwithcancer.com  To follow Katie’s journey on Instagram, go to @talking_withcancer  Artwork & logo design by Emily Juniper.
