Grace and Dani - Cancer Can't Stop Me

Fi Glover with a conversation between friends dealing with the return of cancer after being given the all clear. It is now terminal but Grace is determined to live life to the full.

At the start of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Fi Glover introduces a conversation between friends dealing with the return of cancer after being given the all clear. It's now terminal but Grace is still determined to live life to the full.

The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to them about a subject they've never discussed intimately before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're not ´óÏó´«Ã½ interviews, and that's an important difference - lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key moment of connection between the participants. Most of the unedited conversations are being archived by the British Library and used to build up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade of the millennium.

Producer: Marya Burgess.
