About The Today Podcast on Cancer
Amol Rajan and Nick Robinson talk about cancer with Stephen Fry; Paralympian Erin Kennedy, Jeremy Bowen, Edward Stourton, Professor Pat Price and our very own Steve Bland.
We wanted to share this podcast with you. In the week in which King Charles III shared his cancer diagnosis, Amol Rajan and Nick Robinson asked why it鈥檚 important to talk about cancer. Stephen Fry talks about his own diagnosis of an aggressive prostate cancer and we also hear from Paralympian Erin Kennedy, the 大象传媒鈥檚 international editor Jeremy Bowen, broadcaster Edward Stourton and from Steve Bland whose partner, the 鈥榊ou, Me and the Big C鈥� host Rachael Bland, died of cancer in 2018.
Nick also talks to Amol about his own experience of cancer and they speak to Professor Pat Price, one of the country鈥檚 leading oncologists, about why survival rates in the UK are lower than other countries. Details of help and support with cancer are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline
