The GlioBabes

The GlioBabes, a podcast created by two young women who were both diagnosed with brain tumours at a young age. Mel and Mol are creating a safe space to talk about their experiences and to raise awareness of brain tumours and ill health within the young population.

In this episode, Mel and Mol engage in a heartfelt conversation with Shahleen Hussain, a young woman living with a brain tumour, cancer and epilepsy trying to start conversations and spread awareness.

Hear Shahleen speak about her health diagnoses, experiences as a young Muslim woman and communicating with the Pakistani communities about illness, with some tear jerking advice we could all do with hearing!

This episode is a real game changer we recommend everyone listens to - especially those supporting young people through illness.
