The Teenage Years: Connor - Getting Back to Work, Panic Attacks and Family Ties

  • Summary

  • AfterThoughts: The Teenage Years was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community.

    Erm. Can we talk about the fact it's EPISODE FIVE already?! This series is FLYING BY! We're joined by Connor for this episode, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer which had spread to his lungs. He was 18. He tells us stories of building up his strength and changing his path after cancer treatment, going through it all when his Grandad was having treatment for bowel cancer at the same time (and playing Cancer Top Trumps together), and much much more.
