AfterThoughts was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community. This time, Toby and Alice are joined by LuLu Socratous.

This time, Toby and Alice are joined by LuLu Socratous, who was diagnosed with neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer, which is very rare. We chat about finding and defining your purpose beyond cancer, managing long term side effects and dealing with the mental health issues that can come after the end of treatment.
