Lily was diagnosed at 14 years old with stage four Hodgkin's lymphoma and received six rounds of chemotherapy and two weeks of radiotherapy. She survived but now lives with the long term effects of that therapy - and joins us to discuss how it has impacted her quality of life. We're also joined by Saif Ahmad and Thankamma Ajithkumar, oncologists from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, who give advice for generalists on late effects of anticancer chemotherapy that may affect quality of life.
