In this episode of the Young Tongues podcast, Barbara chats with Sarah and Cheryl from Cancer Sex and Intimacy.

Content warning: We discuss themes of sexual violence in this episode.

Firstly apololgies for the radio silence! We had some technical challenges. In this episode Barbara and Jamie discuss the ICU and HDU experience following their surgeries. And how being totally vulnerable can bring up past trauma and how we sometimes are seen as a "cancer patient" and not a a whole human with a complex history. At the end we lighten the mood a bit talking about our go to tv programms whilst going through treatment.
