Our team at Macmillan Next Steps has recorded the first in what will be a new series of podcasts.
In episode one, ‘Returning to Work After Cancer’, Macmillan Next Steps therapies assistant practitioner Katie Clive talks to Lisa Izod, Business Manager for Ambulatory Care within Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust. Lisa, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2020, speaks candidly with Katie about the physical and psychological challenges she faced when returning to work following her treatment.
She also talks about how, with the support of Katie and the Macmillan Next Steps team, she has learned the coping mechanisms needed to overcome some of the challenges she has faced – particularly when it comes to managing fatigue.
You can listen to Katie and Lisa’s podcast at Podbean or via our YouTube channel:
