This is rather heartfelt. It's all about the psycho-spiritual side of having cancer - that is, keeping our spirits up, despite everything. I have found that keeping my spirits up lies right at the core of my wellbeing as a cancer patient. It helps my health, relationships, doctors' visits, dealing with pain and difficulty and getting through crises, and it brings special moments of joy and relief too.

This podcast is for people experiencing cancer or similar kinds of issues, and also for carers and anyone who knows a cancer patient. I'm not an expert or a doctor, but I do have cancer, I go through the grinder, I get swamped in fears and tears, and I try to do my best with it all. So this is from me to you, if it's useful to you.

This was recorded during storm Eunice (we get great storms down'ere in Cornwall), which sometimes you can hear in the background. The podcast is introduced and outroduced by the noble waves of Portheras Cove, near where I live in West Penwith, Cornwall - they're a medicine in their own right.
