Afternoons with Helen Farmer

A cancer diagnosis comes with appointments, scans, treatment plans and an entirely new medical vocabulary.

We speak with Molly, whose journey to a diagnosis took around two years despite knowing that something wasn't right and the doctor who helped her get the answers and support she needed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
