The Diagnosis and Us

When one sister, a textiles teacher, was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in early 2025, the other - a doctor - became more than family. The Diagnosis and Us is their frank, unfiltered conversation about living with cancer: what it's really like to go through it, and what the medicine actually means. One sister shares the lived reality of treatment, fear, and hope. The other brings clear medical insight and her own personal story of watching someone she loves face the disease. No jargon, no false comfort—just two sisters talking honestly about the hardest thing they've faced together.

  The Diagnosis and Us

  Episode 6: Highs and Lows

  Aug 9, 202640 minS0

  <p>This week Lucy and Olivia discuss the highs and lows, focusing particularly on scans. The week before one, life narrows to a single question, and the news does not always follow a clear path. But, by developing strategies, and trying to maintain a balance when responding to good news or bad, there is a way through. Ultimately, with a stage 4 diagnosis, the aim isn't relentless positivity or bracing for the worst. It's finding a level you can hold.</p><p><br></p>

  Ep 2. The Diagnosis - Part 2

  Jul 12, 202637 minS1

  <p>Some of the hardest days come not at diagnosis, but in the waiting that follows: the stretch between knowing something is wrong and knowing exactly what you're facing.
