Series 2 concludes with an introduction to Sophie and her mum Amanda.
In this episode, Sophie and Amanda discuss how cancer has shaped their outlook on life and how Sophie's positivity helps those close to her.
Sophie shares the impact of fatigue, exercise tolerance and brain fog on her day to day life and her studies, and describes the difficult decision to defer her studies as a medical student and how hard it's been to see her friends progress without her.
They discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Sophie's medical knowledge and how living with a long term condition will impact her medical practice in the future.
Amanda shares how she's coming to terms with having a daughter with cancer and describes her feelings of helplessness as a parent being 'unable to fix things'.
The episode concludes with a discussion about who supports Sophie, including her Teenage Cancer Trust CNS and her Consultant Haematologist. Sophie also shares details of her own Instagram page where she shares her experience of being a young person living with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML)
