Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the diagnosis, treatment, and daily realities of living with a secondary cancer diagnosis.

Description: In this powerful episode, Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara sit down with Lesley Stephen who shares her journey of living with secondary breast cancer and her inspiring work with the charity Make 2nds Count. This episode is a deep dive into Lesley’s experience, from her diagnosis to her involvement in ground-breaking research and patient advocacy.

Episode 154: Part of the Living With and Beyond Cancer Series (Part 46)

Lesley Stephen was a freelance communications consultant until her life changed with a 'de novo' metastatic breast cancer (MBC) diagnosis in 2014. Her participation in a phase 1B clinical trial at the Beatson in Glasgow kept her well for seven years and fueled her passion for advocacy. Lesley’s story is one of resilience and leadership as she campaigns for better research, treatments, and support for MBC patients.

Lesley’s advocacy extends to her work with numerous organizations, including the NCRI, ICGC-ARGO, CRUK, Breast Cancer Now, ICPV, Met Up UK, and the newly formed Breast Cancer Clinical Studies Group. As a trustee of Make 2nds Count, she helps deliver unique research services for MBC patients, emphasizing the importance of access to clinical trials and new treatments.

CPD Reflection Points:

1. Reflect on your communication strategies with patients diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. How do you ensure they feel supported and informed about their diagnosis and treatment options?
2. Consider how you incorporate patients' preferences and values into their care plans. What steps do you take to respect and integrate their individual needs?
3. Reflect on the role of supportive care in managing secondary breast cancer. How do you address the comprehensive needs—physical, emotional, and psychological—of these patients?
4. Assess the impact of your role in improving outcomes for secondary breast cancer patients. How can you contribute to advancing care practices in your clinical setting?

Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara catch up Igor Bessières and Mathieu Gonod. MapRT helps to make treatments fast, easy and safe. It uses SGRT to deliver a “clearance map”, which planners use to check which beams are deliverable during plan creation. In this podcast episode, Medical Physicists Igor Bessières and Mathieu Gonod from Centre Georges-François Leclerc share their firsthand experience with this innovative technology and its impact on treatment planning. 

To use this podcast as CPD, look at these reflection points: 

1) reflect on Igor and Mathieu’s experience of gathering data to showcase the benefits of new technology.

2) consider the barriers and enablers to dynamic trajectory radiotherapy.

3) find out more about the SGRT community, resources and videos about their technology: https://sgrt.org/
