Full EpisodeSix Seasons
Each season tackles a different side of young cancer. Pick the one that speaks to you.
From diagnosis to survival — six young people share the raw reality of treatment, mental health, telling people, and figuring out how to actually live through it all.
Season 2Young people sit down with their parents to talk about the moments that changed everything — the diagnosis, the fear, and learning to support each other.
Season 3Ask The Boys — honest conversations about relationships, education, peer support, mental health and body image from the male point of view.

Season 5The friends, partners and supporters who stood alongside them. Real conversations about what it means to be there for someone going through cancer.
Season 6The charities making a difference — from Teenage Cancer Trust to Ellen MacArthur. What they do, who they help, and why they matter to young people with cancer.
Because the leaflets were written for someone twice our age.
When you're diagnosed with cancer in your twenties, the world doesn't come with a manual.
Your friends don’t know what to say. Your employer doesn’t know what to do. And the waiting room is full of people three times your age.
Radiotherapy exists because we needed it to. We’re a group of young people in the UK who’ve been through cancer treatment and decided that silence wasn’t working. So we started talking — honestly, messily, and sometimes with very dark humour — about what it’s actually like.
We cover everything: the physical toll of treatment, the impact on relationships and careers, the mental health spiral nobody warns you about, and the strange limbo of life after the “all clear.”
