Dr Philippa Kaye | Surviving cancer, what NOT to say to someone with a cancer diagnosis and the need to be liked.

By Emma Gunavardhana

Dr Philippa Kaye is a familiar face on British television thanks to her thorough clinics on daytime TV offering health advice. She has also gone 'viral' online for making sometimes taboo health subjects accessible and easily understood. In this episode, Philippa shares her life lessons with me and how being diagnosed with cancer, and having to have major surgeries during the very first lockdown, impacted her physical, mental and emotional health.

Her account of being alone in intensive care is heartbreaking but the lessons she's learned, the resolve she's found and how she communicated her situation to her three young children is truly inspiring.

I challenge you not to cry during this conversation, such is Philippa's honesty on a sometimes difficult-to-navigate topic.
