From our sofa to yours… a couple of empty nesters figuring out life with all its ups and downs. Join Liz and Michelle and their community of listeners for a cuppa and a chat on Two Women Chatting! As seen in... The Telegraph Radio Times Platinum magazine Bonus episode! Michelle Ford sits down with Dr Anisha Patel for an honest and important conversation about bowel cancer - from symptoms to diagnosis, and why so many cases are still being missed. Dr Anisha brings a truly unique perspective, having experienced this as both a doctor and a patient, after surviving stage 3 bowel cancer. Her insight is powerful, and her passion for raising awareness and pushing for more research is inspiring. The reality is stark: bowel cancer rates have risen by 50% in the last 25 years, and 1 in 2 of us will face cancer in our lifetime. But there is hope - bowel cancer is highly treatable if caught early. And one message comes through loud and clear: don’t ignore your NHS bowel screening test or changes to your “normal” - it could save your life. This is essential listening. Please share it with someone you care about, and leave a comment to help spread the word. Apple podcasts Global Player Welcome!
