Episode description

Welcome to another episode of That Cancer Conversation!

While bowel cancer is relatively rare for people in their 30s and 40s to get bowel cancer, cases are rising.

At 39 years old Dr Anisha Patel (@doctorsgetcancertoo), a practicing GP, was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer. Now, 6 years on, Anisha is dedicated to raising awareness of cancer, especially in adults under 50.

In this episode we talk to Anisha discussing her diagnosis, her book and helping the Cancer Grand Challenges team, PROSPECT, work out the cause for the increase in numbers.

Anisha's book:
