Time to leave the BBC and push 25 years of her life to one side, but leaving a workplace during lockdown over zoom is distinctly weird...

"It feels ever so slightly like attending my own wake.  People say lovely, generous, heartfelt things which make me squirm with embarrassment.  I’m deeply suspicious I tell them, people always say nice things after someone dies, always sing their praises, this has the distinct whiff of being buried alive, tomorrow you’ll be slagging me off something rotten I laugh at them, you’ll be having an o-bitch-uary!  I talk too much, soak up as much time as possible in a bid to stop them saying how much I’ll be missed.  Finally at the end of the third zoom meeting we say a last farewell and each person leaves the meeting one by one switching off their camera..."

Special thanks to Incredible Feet for their inspiration and belief in the importance of LUMP and for constantly reminding us that while every cancer journey is unique, we never need to run it alone.

You'll find the written version of this episode here.

Searingly honest, heart-breaking, often sweary and laugh out loud funny, LUMP is one woman’s rollercoaster ride through the mind meltdown which comes with learning you have breast cancer. 

Utterly human and compelling, it’s a unique story which will resonate with anyone and everyone who’s ever had a battle with a life changing event in their lives.
