In this episode, presenter Mark O'Sullivan talks to Andrea Brady, whose daughter Jess died at the age of 27 due to late diagnosis of cancer. Andrea describes the heartbreaking - and often inspiring - weeks that led to Jess' death, and the important work to raise awareness Andrea and her family are now doing to ensure others don't have to go through what they have.
Comedian and writer Mark O'Sullivan presented the RTS Award-winning Documentary My Sexual Abuse - The Sitcom and began a journey to understand why making something positive out of something so negative and traumatic felt so powerful and life-affirming.
