Every day, 34 young people are diagnosed with cancer. These are the stories of what happens afterwards. This is AfterThoughts.

AfterThoughts was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community.

Podcasts about cancer might not seem like a whole heap of fun, but if you're looking for community, understanding and a whole lot of heart, you're in the right place. Cancer in your 20s or 30s is pretty sh*tty, but AfterThoughts lets you know you're not alone.

Reielle was diagnosed with Stage IV adrenal cortical carcinoma in her 20s. Reielle joins hosts Toby Peach and Alice-May Purkiss to chat about finding connection, the opportunities that cancer can afford you and the physical adjustments we have to make in the wake of a cancer diagnosis. All featuring a puppy that really wanted to be part of the convo and seemed intent on letting us know she was there.

AfterThoughts is supported by Trekstock and Alike. Trekstock gets young adults moving again, physically, emotionally, socially and psychologically, after cancer has stopped them in their tracks. Alike is a game-changing peer support platform because living with cancer can be lonely. Speak to others who have been there, done that, and worn the unflattering hospital gown.

As ever, AfterThoughts deals with some conversations you may find tricky to listen to. If you need any further support, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our friends at Trekstock or find peer support on the Alike app.
