Subtleties of Having Cancer

Boredom & baldness. Welcome to Season 3! Last year, Ying was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma at 23.

We talked about idleness and boredom, her love for crotcheting, how her diagnosis changed her relationships with her friends, family and partner, whether it’s helpful to frame cancer as a “battle,” being bald, reckoning with death, religion and faith, being called brave and inspirational, visibility of cancer in Singaporean-Chinese communities, luck, pragmatism, having cancer during COVID, beauty & femininity, feeling like a 54 year old woman in her wig, gratitude, embracing stillness and much more! This one is really special.

The Subtlety of It is recorded and produced on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to the Ancestors who protect this sacred land and live and speak through community members. I pay my respects to Elders and community members who are the ongoing custodians of this land and pass on knowledge through generations. Sovereignty was never ceded. This land always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
