The ‘rollercoaster ride’ of cancer: an Interview with James Landale
It was great to hear the BBC’s Deputy Political Editor James Landale’s interview about his experience of treatment for cancer on World at One this lunchtime. He was kind enough to recommend Love for Now, my memoir of treatment for the same disease, to listeners who might be going through similar experiences.
In particular it was great to hear James’ beautiful dismantling of the notion of cancer as a ‘battle’.
You can listen to the whole of World at One on iplayer here. You can listen to the whole of the cancer piece from the programme, including James’ interview, here

It was a really good interview, balanced and wise. Like you really.

Hi Ant,
We saw David Smith at the Exeter Respect festival last week and he told us.that Tina is being treated for leukaemia. I don’t know whether you already knew that.
