"[Cancer] was a journey I'd walked with her and I couldn't comprehend how I now faced the same fate.... Amidst all the confusion, the anxiety, the turmoil in my mind, this peace and assurance came and filled my heart with a sense that everything was going to be OK, despite my lived experience." Paul was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in October 2020. His wife sadly passed away, two years before, from breast cancer. You can read more of Paul's story on our website: https://www.bowelcanceruk.

Today we share our first ever videocast of ‘In conversation with George Alagiah’, which sees the BBC newsreader talk to fellow bowel cancer patient Beth Purvis, our Chief Executive Genevieve Edwards and Clinical Oncologist Prof. Richard Adams. They discuss a wide range of subjects, including shielding, coming out of lockdown, the recovery of cancer services, and the impact of a cancer diagnosis on family.
