Sound Waves

Sound Waves is the official podcast of the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust. The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that empowers young people aged 8-24 to embrace their future after cancer. When treatment ends, the Trust’s work begins as, for many young people, picking up where they left off before their diagnosis isn’t possible. On Sound Waves, the Trust community comes together to discuss themes and spark conversations relevant to anyone impacted by cancer in young people. From mental health to staying safe in the sun, from survivor's guilt to reflecting on where life has taken people since their diagnosis. All the while sharing tales from the Trust, and all the life-long memories made together. Come aboard!

What do you know about sarcoma?

July 13, 2020 • Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust • Season 2 • Episode 2

Did you know it's Sarcoma Awareness Month?

What do you know about sarcoma?

Joining host Scott this week are George Paxford, Lewis Aldersley, and Chloe Parsons. George and Chloe were supported by the Trust as young people and have since become Trust volunteers. Lewis sailed on his first trip with the Trust last summer.

George, Lewis, and Chloe have experienced sarcoma in their lives and join us on Sound Waves this week to talk about what it means to raise awareness. As well, they share what they wish they'd known when they were diagnosed, and talk about how their times with the Trust have affected their attitudes towards their post-treatment lives.

We hope this episode contributes to raising the awareness of sarcoma, its signs and the need for further research, and also reassures young people going through sarcoma that there are others who understand, who have been there, and that they are not alone.
