Angie Shepherd talks about her role as a colorectal clinical nurse specialist. The inspirational Māori expression, ‘Kia kaha', and cancer-themed April Fools are also featured.The following points are among those covered in this episode:Erica Banks, Communications Lead for Friends of ANCHOR, provides an update on news items and forthcoming events, including the progress being made with preparations for this year's ‘Brave' and ‘Courage on the Catwalk' events. [00:47]Mike talks to Colorectal CNS (Clinical Nurse Specialist), Angie Shepherd, about her role in supporting bowel cancer patients. As well as highlighting various ways in which Friends of ANCHOR provides invaluable assistance in this area, Angie draws attention to information awareness initiatives such as Bowelbabe and Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month (which, this year, has included a very helpful and informative video featuring Alan Titchmarsh). [04:34]Mike continues his attempts to create a podcast quiz format that works, this time asking listeners to fill in the ‘beeps' to discover the puns that were used in 2010 and 2012 news items to describe the brilliant fundraising efforts of various supporters of Friends of ANCHOR. [20:16]In the ‘Finding the Words' section of this episode, Mike and Alison discuss some examples of how words can keep our spirits up while we are dealing with the rollercoaster of emotions, uncertainties and questions that come with the territory when a diagnosis of cancer occurs. Mike had found the Māori expression, ‘Kia kaha' (‘Stay strong!'), particularly helpful, often using it to have a word with himself when he was feeling a bit ‘wobbly'. [22:32]For this month's ‘And Finally' slot, Mike considers the question of whether or not a cancer-themed April Fool can ever work! One attempt worthy of note was Macmillan Cancer Support's 2010 spoof campaign in support of their annual coffee morning when they worked with Google to showcase a fictional island called “Macmilland”, which was shaped like a coffee cup and appeared on Google maps!

A woman who was diagnosed with stage-four bowel cancer in her late 20s has vowed to continue the work of Dame Deborah James to raise awareness. Rebecca Papa-Adams was given around a year to live 17 years ago and is now cancer free. She's spoken to the podcast about how she was misdiagnosed for 18 months and doesn't want anyone else to go through the same thing. Also in today's episode, we've spent the day in Challock where residents have been without water for almost a week. The boss of a shop there says he's lost thousands of pounds of stock. South East Water say we all need to use supplies more wisely. After the devastating wildfires in Kent this week, there's some hope that wildlife will bounce back. Hear from Stan Smith from the Kent Wildlife Trust. A watchdog says the government's response to people crossing the Channel to Kent in small boats has been 'poor' - and the system is 'overwhelmed'. It found the number making the journey - which is more than 15,000 this year - is 'unprecedented' - and found issues within leadership as well. Hear from pupils at a school in Medway who've got a cardboard cut out of their teacher to keep an eye on them in the classroom after she retires. And in sport it was an amazing night for England at the women's Euros. Hear from Maidstone's Alessia Russo after the made it through to the semi-finals.

In honour of the formidable Dame Deborah James, we are re-releasing this very special podcast episode. Having avidly followed the highs and lows of Deborah's journey, Holly was honoured to have had the pleasure of speaking with her in 2020, and it's a memory she will always treasure in her heart.  In this episode, Deborah James, also known as Bowelbabe, joins Holly to talk about the rebellious spirit that would define her journey, from gymnast to Deputy Headteacher, journalist to campaigner — and then coping with the news that so many of us fear. It's quite remarkable now to hear the original plans she made then, which led to her raising millions of pounds for cancer research through her Bowelbabe fund.  Deborah has left such a phenomenal mark on the world and her legacy will shine bright forever more. If there are any words to live by, it's Deborah's motto that we should all have no regrets, believe that we can do things we never thought possible, and most importantly — to always, always have rebellious hope.

Gemma had a missed early diagnosis of bowel cancer because the doctor believed her to be too young to have cancer at the age of 30.  In the past 8 years she has undergone many operations and treatments and is now stage 4 NED. Gemma is very open about the procedures she has had and wants to use her platform to raise awareness of bowel cancer in young people and also provide a support network to people who are living with cancer.  In this conversation we cover how important it is to fight for yourself when you believe that something isn't right with your body. Also discussed are the affects of surgery and chemotherapy, and the symptoms of bowel cancer to look out for - it is very important to seek a diagnosis as early as you can.  This was recorded 2 weeks prior to Deborah James, BowelBabe, sadly passing away.
