In this episode, Helen is joined by psychotherapist and author of The Feeling of Cancer, Sandra Russell. 

Diagnosed with myeloma a decade ago, Sandra penned her book after she struggled to find accounts of cancer that were like her own. Sandra reflects on the shock, anger, loneliness, and isolation of a cancer diagnosis to the joy of connecting with other cancer patients. 

 And why it is important to feel cancer. 

Thanks to Dry July for supporting the podcast.
