Our guest this week is Zoe Churchill, whose experience of lung cancer spans both survival and loss. Zoe was diagnosed herself and has since been successfully treated. But her story doesn’t end there, because she also lost her mum to thesame disease.

In this episode, we explore what it means to face lung cancer from both sides: as a person navigating diagnosis and recovery, and as a daughter coping with grief, fear, the emotional impact of losing a parent, and where Zoe tries tosee hope.

What happens when you survive longer than your prognosis? On the surface, it’s good news. However, it can be a difficult thing to get your head around.

In the latest episode of Talk of Hope, Rachel and Mandee chat to patients Helen and Corrine, as well as clinical psychologist Safia Agrippa, about the impact of lung cancer on our mental health.

Talk of Hope returns for Season 3

In our first episode, we dive into precision medicine—what it means, how it’s changing treatment, and the real-life impact it’s having.

Featuring expert insight from Dr David Gilligan and lived experience from Duncan Edmonstone.

Listen now and discover how treatment – and hope - is evolving.

Did you know women aged between 30 to 49 who have never smoked have more than twice the risk of developing lung cancer than their male counterparts?

That’s why we’re excited to share an update from our lead researcher, Dr Cecilia Pompili, who is embarking on a new project to identify the potential gaps in diagnosing young women with lung cancer.

Robotic-assisted surgery didn't just save Samantha's life... it allowed her to keep living it the way she wanted.

Sharing her experience on our Talk of Hope podcast, Samantha is joined by consultant thoracic surgeon, Miss Stephanie Fraser, as we celebrate the next evolution in surgical innovation and treatment of lung cancer.

Lung cancer screening is transforming lives — it’s the biggest step forward we’ve ever seen in improving lung cancer outcomes.

Over 8,000 people have now been diagnosed through screening, with three-quarters caught early, giving them the best chance of survival.

But behind every number is a person.

A family. A life saved.

This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Talk of Hope is going weekly — sharing powerful, uplifting stories from people living with lung cancer today.

In our first episode, we’re joined by Gloria Jenkinson and Alex Shaw — two very different experiences, both showing how hope and progress are changing what it's like to have lung cancer.

In our latest Talk of Hope episode, we’re shining a light on ROS1+ lung cancer — a rare type that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Catherine Paul and Del Danaher join us to share their powerful stories and what it’s really like to live with this diagnosis.

Natasha is poised to be the first poised to be (we think) the first female in the UK to undergo surgery to remove the primary tumour after progression to brain metastasis.

And she shares her experience on our Talk of Hope podcast to create a ripple effect so maybe others can benefit too.

In this episode of Talk of Hope, we’re joined by Dr Eleanor Mishra, who shares how her research is helping people with pleural effusion feel more in control — by predicting when fluid might return and putting plans in place to manage it.
