How do we say goodbye to the things we loved or wanted?
Megan and Brian join Tatum for a fascinating discussion on how we hold endings.

In this episode, Tatum is joined by Roland, Sally, and Mel to explore how cancer can impact body confidence.

Together, they share what helps them on tough days and how they now redefine what confidence looks like.

As we approach the festive season we're diving into family dynamics. Often we imagine families pulling together after a cancer diagnosis but sometimes it doesn't quite work out like that. Tatum's joined by guests, Naomi and Fiona, sharing how they've managed to cope with their family and being sick, at the same time.

Getting your heart broken is brutal. Add a cancer diagnosis into the mix? That’s a whole other level of emotional chaos. And yet, no one really talks about how often this happens — or how isolating it can feel. Jess and Donna both experienced the double hit of relationship breakdown at the same time as cancer turning their life upside down. They join Tatum to explore the complex dynamics with their partners and how cancer highlig...
Travel after cancer is sometimes easier said than done. You might have more worries, more aches and pains, less confidence and higher insurance premiums. In this episode, Tatum talks to Izzy, Will and Renee about their favourite places (before and after cancer), what travel means to them, and how they've worked on some of the more daunting aspects of leaving the country.
What happens to our anxiety when we get a cancer diagnosis? Can our previous coping strategies keep up with the extra anxiety workload? Is there anything about anxiety which is useful? Alison, Fatima and Sanna join Tatum to explore the complexities of anxiety and share the approaches they've found useful.
Cancer can be expensive. For many of us, income goes down just as expenses go up. Our SHINE survey revealed we miss out on benefits—not because we’re not eligible, but because we don’t know what’s available or feel overwhelmed to start the process. Chartered Accountant Matthew Bourne joins Tatum to share top tips on where to begin with benefits.
Sam and Professor Jonathan Koffman join Tatum to give an inside look at what palliative care offers. There are so many misconceptions so it can be reassuring to know what it's actually all about. Jonathan lends his expertise as a Professor of Palliative Care and 29 year old Sam's shares his experience of movie nights in hospice.

Dani joins Tatum to talk about all things hormonal, why we deserve more options and why its ok to be a bit more of a difficult patient! She also shares what inspired her to start the organisation, Menopause and Cancer.

Clare, Ceinwen and Tatum are back on the cancer scamming case. They delve into the seedy world of dodgy detection machines, TikTok bots creating fake arrests and a whole wild west of deworming. You can also listen to Part 1 of this (we even chat about Belle Gibson) here: https://shinecancersupport.podbean.com/e/cancer-scams-and-scammers/
In this podcast we're looking at faith and cancer. It's not a topic that gets spoken about a lot, so we thought we'd examine the different ways members of the Shine community have found their different faiths helpful (and challenging) in navigating their experiences with cancer. Tatum talks to Hannah, Suki, Anoushe, Rachel and Sarah about how they navigated their treatments and diagnoses and the role that faith and community have p...
Having cancer in your 20s is just different. It can feel especially isolating because friends are busy dating, travelling and diving into careers when you you are in waiting rooms with other cancer patients five decades older. Hex, Aimee and Neil share what it's like having cancer when adult life only just started.
Tatum talks with Jakub, Andrew and Pete about coping with grief, especially when the emotions that come with it are sometimes surprising.
