About Changing The Cancer Conversation

You, Me and the Big C: Putting the can in cancer

Available for over a year

Ahead of World Cancer Day 2026, the groundbreaking podcast You, Me and the Big C is back for a special legacy episode about how it changed the cancer conversation. Hosts Lauren Mahon and Steve Bland are joined by 5 Live presenter Tony Livesey, who lost his own mum to cancer, and was also a friend to former hosts Rachael Bland and Dame Deborah James. TV Presenter Trisha Goddard, TikTok influencer Shell Rowe and Dr Anisha Patel come on to tell their own cancer stories and how this podcast has played a role in helping them get through it. Don't forget, you can spread the word and share the positive support by using #youmebigc across all forms of social media.
