  Today
• 1:41
  we
• 1:41
  meet
• 1:41
  a
• 1:41
  man
• 1:41
  named
• 1:42
  Andy.
• 1:42
  12
• 1:43
  years
• 1:43
  ago
• 1:43
  he
• 1:43
  was
• 1:44
  faced
• 1:44
  with
• 1:44
  a
• 1:44
  stage
• 1:45
  4
• 1:45
  lymphoma
• 1:46
  diagnosis.
• 1:46
  Out
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  that
• 1:47
  dark
• 1:47
  time,
• 1:47
  he
• 1:48
  built
• 1:48
  something
• 1:48
  that
• 1:49
  has
• 1:49
  become
• 1:49
  a
• 1:49
  lifeline
• 1:50
  for
• 1:50
  hundreds
• 1:51
  of
• 1:51
  people
• 1:51
  in
• 1:51
  our
• 1:52
  community.
• 1:52
  I
• 1:53
  was
• 1:53
  diagnosed
• 1:53
  with
• 1:54
  stage
• 1:54
  four
• 1:55
  lymphoma
• 1:56
  and
• 1:56
  although
• 1:56
  I
• 1:56
  think
• 1:57
  I
• 1:57
  was
• 1:57
  expecting
• 1:57
  something,
• 1:58
  I
• 1:59
  thought
• 1:59
  originally
• 1:59
  it
• 1:59
  was
• 2:00
  hernia
• 2:01
  because
• 2:01
  my
• 2:01
  stomach
• 2:02
  has
• 2:03
  this
• 2:03
  big
• 2:03
  thing
• 2:04
  moving
• 2:04
  from
• 2:04
  one
• 2:04
  side
• 2:05
  to
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  other.
• 2:06
  And
• 2:06
  at
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  time
• 2:06
  I
• 2:06
  was
• 2:06
  building
• 2:07
  a
• 2:07
  little
• 2:07
  garage,
• 2:08
  although
• 2:08
  I
• 2:08
  wasn't,
• 2:09
  I'm
• 2:09
  not
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  builder,
• 2:10
  but
• 2:11
  I
• 2:11
  felt
• 2:11
  that
• 2:12
  something
• 2:12
  was
• 2:13
  my
• 2:13
  right
• 2:13
  abdomen,
• 2:14
  it
• 2:14
  was
• 2:14
  up
• 2:15
  by
• 2:15
  the
• 2:15
  top
• 2:15
  and
• 2:15
  I
• 2:16
  thought,
• 2:16
  oh
• 2:16
  yeah,
• 2:16
  when
• 2:16
  I
• 2:16
  finish
• 2:17
  this,
• 2:17
  I
• 2:17
  go
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  do
• 2:17
  it.
• 2:17
  But
• 2:18
  by
• 2:18
  then
• 2:18
  a
• 2:18
  lot
• 2:19
  of
• 2:19
  lumps
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  bumps
• 2:20
  started
• 2:20
  coming
• 2:21
  up
• 2:21
  around
• 2:21
  my
• 2:21
  neck,
• 2:22
  under
• 2:22
  my
• 2:23
  arms
• 2:23
  and
• 2:23
  so
• 2:24
  on,
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  I
• 2:24
  knew
• 2:24
  it
• 2:25
  was
• 2:25
  something
• 2:25
  a
• 2:25
  bit
• 2:25
  beyond
• 2:26
  that.
• 2:26
  So
• 2:26
  I
• 2:26
  went
• 2:27
  for
• 2:27
  a
• 2:27
  scan
• 2:28
  the
• 2:28
  doctor
• 2:28
  sent
• 2:29
  me
• 2:29
  and
• 2:29
  everything
• 2:29
  else
• 2:29
  and
• 2:30
  it
• 2:30
  was
• 2:30
  found
• 2:30
  that
• 2:31
  was
• 2:31
  so
• 2:31
  large,
• 2:32
  in
• 2:32
  fact
• 2:32
  the
• 2:32
  one
• 2:32
  in
• 2:32
  my
• 2:33
  abdomen
• 2:33
  was
• 2:34
  10
• 2:35
  x
• 2:35
  11
• 2:36
  cm.
• 2:36
  So
• 2:36
  it
• 2:37
  was
• 2:37
  massive
• 2:38
  and
• 2:38
  that's
• 2:38
  why
• 2:39
  it
• 2:39
  was
• 2:39
  stage
• 2:39
  four,
• 2:40
  because
• 2:40
  of
• 2:40
  his
• 2:40
  size
• 2:40
  more
• 2:41
  than
• 2:41
  anything
• 2:41
  else.
• 2:42
  So
• 2:42
  I
• 2:42
  saw
• 2:42
  a
• 2:43
  consultant.
• 2:43
  The
• 2:43
  consultant
• 2:44
  said,
• 2:44
  look
• 2:44
  what
• 2:45
  you
• 2:45
  want
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  do,
• 2:45
  do
• 2:45
  you
• 2:45
  want
• 2:46
  treatment?
• 2:46
  And
• 2:46
  I
• 2:46
  wasn't
• 2:47
  keen
• 2:47
  in
• 2:47
  that.
• 2:47
  I
• 2:48
  wanted
• 2:48
  to
• 2:48
  go
• 2:48
  what
• 2:48
  is
• 2:49
  called
• 2:49
  watch
• 2:49
  and
• 2:49
  wait,
• 2:50
  see
• 2:50
  what
• 2:50
  happens.
• 2:51
  Although
• 2:51
  it
• 2:51
  was
• 2:51
  a
• 2:51
  massive
• 2:52
  and
• 2:52
  everywhere
• 2:52
  was
• 2:52
  pumped
• 2:53
  up.
• 2:54
  But
• 2:54
  then
• 2:54
  I
• 2:54
  had
• 2:54
  the
• 2:55
  treatment
• 2:55
  two
• 2:55
  and
• 2:55
  a
• 2:56
  half
• 2:56
  years
• 2:56
  later
• 2:57
  because
• 2:57
  of
• 2:57
  what
• 2:57
  I
• 2:58
  was
• 2:58
  doing,
• 2:58
  it
• 2:59
  kept
• 2:59
  everything
• 2:59
  at
• 2:59
  bay.
• 3:00
  But
• 3:00
  at
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  same
• 3:01
  time
• 3:01
  I
• 3:01
  knew
• 3:02
  I
• 3:02
  couldn't
• 3:02
  carry
• 3:03
  on
• 3:03
  what
• 3:03
  I
• 3:03
  was
• 3:03
  doing.
• 3:04
  So
• 3:04
  eight
• 3:04
  years
• 3:05
  ago
• 3:05
  I
• 3:05
  was
• 3:06
  looking
• 3:06
  for
• 3:07
  somewhere
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  go
• 3:08
  and
• 3:08
  talk
• 3:09
  to
• 3:09
  People.
• 3:09
  I'm
• 3:10
  not
• 3:10
  a
• 3:10
  guy
• 3:10
  to
• 3:11
  get
• 3:11
  on
• 3:12
  Internet
• 3:13
  and
• 3:13
  talk
• 3:14
  to
• 3:14
  them.
• 3:14
  I
• 3:14
  didn't
• 3:15
  think
• 3:15
  it
• 3:15
  was
• 3:15
  emotional
• 3:15
  enough.
• 3:16
  All
• 3:16
  my
• 3:17
  life
• 3:17
  I
• 3:17
  worked
• 3:17
  with
• 3:17
  people,
• 3:18
  so
• 3:19
  there
• 3:19
  wasn't
• 3:19
  anything
• 3:20
  around,
• 3:20
  believe
• 3:20
  it
• 3:20
  or
• 3:20
  not.
• 3:21
  And
• 3:21
  I
• 3:21
  thought,
• 3:21
  I'm
• 3:22
  going
• 3:22
  to
• 3:22
  start
• 3:22
  this
• 3:22
  myself.
• 3:23
  So
• 3:23
  I
• 3:24
  approached
• 3:24
  Shepperton
• 3:25
  Medical
• 3:25
  Practice.
• 3:26
  They
• 3:26
  said,
• 3:27
  you
• 3:27
  can
• 3:27
  use
• 3:28
  our
• 3:28
  name,
• 3:29
  but
• 3:29
  you
• 3:29
  must
• 3:29
  make
• 3:30
  sure
• 3:30
  that
• 3:30
  people
• 3:30
  think
• 3:31
  that
• 3:31
  it's
• 3:31
  nothing
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  do
• 3:32
  with
• 3:32
  us.
• 3:32
  And
• 3:33
  I
• 3:33
  said,
• 3:33
  absolutely.
• 3:33
  Wonderful.
• 3:34
  We
• 3:35
  give
• 3:35
  you
• 3:35
  the
• 3:35
  room
• 3:36
  so
• 3:36
  you
• 3:36
  can
• 3:36
  start
• 3:36
  here.
• 3:37
  And
• 3:38
  that's
• 3:38
  how
• 3:38
  we
• 3:38
  started,
• 3:39
  with
• 3:40
  three
• 3:40
  people
• 3:40
  turning
• 3:41
  up.
• 3:41
  What
• 3:41
  Andy
• 3:42
  created
• 3:42
  wasn't
• 3:43
  a
• 3:43
  clinical
• 3:43
  environment,
• 3:44
  but
• 3:44
  a
• 3:45
  safe
• 3:45
  place
• 3:45
  for
• 3:46
  emotional
• 3:46
  expression
• 3:47
  where
• 3:47
  patients
• 3:47
  could
• 3:48
  feel
• 3:48
  validated.
• 3:49
  The
• 3:49
  Patient
• 3:49
  Cancer
• 3:50
  Support
• 3:50
  Group
• 3:51
  is
• 3:51
  a
• 3:51
  registered
• 3:52
  charity
• 3:53
  and
• 3:53
  it
• 3:54
  covers
• 3:55
  Spelthorne,
• 3:56
  Runnymede
• 3:56
  and
• 3:57
  Elmbridge
• 3:58
  as
• 3:58
  well
• 3:58
  as
• 3:59
  surrounding
• 4:00
  areas.
• 4:00
  Now,
• 4:01
  that
• 4:01
  means
• 4:01
  we
• 4:02
  had
• 4:02
  people
• 4:02
  coming
• 4:02
  from
• 4:03
  Slough,
• 4:03
  people
• 4:04
  coming
• 4:04
  from
• 4:04
  Feltham,
• 4:05
  so
• 4:06
  basically
• 4:06
  we
• 4:07
  don't
• 4:07
  turn
• 4:07
  anyone
• 4:08
  down.
• 4:08
  People
• 4:09
  would
• 4:09
  talk
• 4:09
  about
• 4:10
  their
• 4:11
  own
• 4:11
  experiences.
• 4:12
  They
• 4:12
  talk
• 4:13
  about
• 4:13
  their
• 4:13
  fears,
• 4:14
  their
• 4:14
  triumphs.
• 4:15
  And
• 4:15
  I
• 4:15
  think,
• 4:15
  in
• 4:15
  my
• 4:16
  view,
• 4:16
  that
• 4:16
  creates
• 4:17
  an
• 4:17
  atmosphere
• 4:19
  that
• 4:20
  patients
• 4:21
  feel
• 4:21
  validated
• 4:22
  and
• 4:23
  at
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  same
• 4:23
  time
• 4:24
  understood,
• 4:25
  because
• 4:25
  everybody's
• 4:26
  talking
• 4:26
  about
• 4:26
  the
• 4:27
  same
• 4:27
  thing
• 4:28
  by
• 4:28
  sharing
• 4:29
  stories
• 4:30
  and
• 4:30
  by
• 4:31
  learning
• 4:31
  from
• 4:31
  others.
• 4:33
  I
• 4:33
  think
• 4:33
  that
• 4:34
  for
• 4:34
  me,
• 4:35
  it
• 4:36
  creates
• 4:36
  and
• 4:37
  it
• 4:37
  fosters
• 4:38
  a
• 4:38
  sense
• 4:39
  of
• 4:39
  belonging
• 4:40
  and
• 4:40
  people
• 4:41
  feel
• 4:42
  they're
• 4:42
  not
• 4:42
  alone
• 4:43
  in
• 4:43
  their
• 4:43
  struggle.
• 4:44
  They
• 4:45
  open
• 4:45
  up
• 4:45
  a
• 4:45
  little
• 4:45
  bit
• 4:46
  more.
• 4:46
  And
• 4:46
  I
• 4:47
  think
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  empathy
• 4:47
  within
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  group
• 4:48
  is
• 4:49
  so
• 4:50
  apparent
• 4:51
  in
• 4:51
  so
• 4:51
  many
• 4:52
  cases
• 4:53
  and
• 4:53
  it
• 4:53
  becomes
• 4:54
  so
• 4:54
  obvious,
• 4:54
  and
• 4:55
  maybe
• 4:55
  that
• 4:55
  alleviates
• 4:56
  some
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  the
• 4:57
  isolation
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  fears
• 4:59
  people
• 4:59
  have.
• 5:00
  I
• 5:00
  think
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  majority
• 5:01
  of
• 5:01
  people
• 5:01
  will
• 5:02
  call
• 5:02
  me
• 5:02
  first,
• 5:03
  they
• 5:03
  will
• 5:03
  write
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  me,
• 5:04
  so
• 5:04
  I
• 5:04
  give
• 5:05
  them
• 5:05
  an
• 5:05
  idea
• 5:05
  as
• 5:05
  to
• 5:05
  what
• 5:05
  we
• 5:06
  do,
• 5:06
  what
• 5:06
  to
• 5:06
  expect
• 5:06
  there.
• 5:07
  But
• 5:08
  I
• 5:08
  have
• 5:08
  found
• 5:08
  that
• 5:08
  it's
• 5:09
  always
• 5:09
  very
• 5:09
  difficult
• 5:10
  for
• 5:10
  people
• 5:10
  to
• 5:10
  come
• 5:10
  and
• 5:11
  talk
• 5:11
  about
• 5:11
  their
• 5:11
  own
• 5:12
  personal
• 5:12
  things.
• 5:12
  So
• 5:13
  what
• 5:13
  I
• 5:13
  tend
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  do,
• 5:13
  as
• 5:13
  soon
• 5:14
  as
• 5:14
  they
• 5:14
  come
• 5:14
  in,
• 5:15
  if
• 5:15
  I
• 5:15
  haven't
• 5:15
  seen
• 5:15
  them
• 5:16
  before,
• 5:16
  I
• 5:17
  will
• 5:17
  talk
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  them
• 5:17
  about
• 5:18
  what
• 5:18
  happens.
• 5:18
  So
• 5:18
  I
• 5:18
  spend
• 5:19
  two
• 5:19
  or
• 5:19
  three
• 5:19
  minutes
• 5:19
  with
• 5:20
  them.
• 5:20
  There
• 5:20
  is
• 5:20
  coffee,
• 5:20
  tea,
• 5:21
  biscuits
• 5:21
  and
• 5:21
  everything
• 5:21
  else,
• 5:22
  so
• 5:22
  they
• 5:22
  relax
• 5:23
  anyway.
• 5:23
  More
• 5:24
  often
• 5:24
  than
• 5:24
  not,
• 5:24
  they
• 5:25
  turn
• 5:25
  up
• 5:25
  with
• 5:25
  a
• 5:25
  partner
• 5:26
  or
• 5:26
  a
• 5:26
  friend
• 5:26
  or
• 5:27
  something,
• 5:27
  and
• 5:28
  what
• 5:28
  I
• 5:29
  do
• 5:29
  say
• 5:29
  to
• 5:29
  them,
• 5:29
  because
• 5:30
  there's
• 5:30
  a
• 5:30
  lot
• 5:30
  of
• 5:30
  misconception
• 5:31
  out
• 5:31
  there
• 5:32
  about,
• 5:33
  oh,
• 5:33
  I'm
• 5:33
  forced
• 5:33
  to
• 5:34
  say
• 5:34
  something,
• 5:34
  I
• 5:34
  don't
• 5:35
  want
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  attend
• 5:35
  meetings,
• 5:36
  and
• 5:36
  it's
• 5:36
  not
• 5:36
  like
• 5:36
  that
• 5:37
  at
• 5:37
  all.
• 5:37
  I
• 5:37
  tell
• 5:38
  them
• 5:38
  to
• 5:38
  sit
• 5:38
  back,
• 5:39
  listen
• 5:40
  to
• 5:40
  what
• 5:40
  was
• 5:41
  going
• 5:41
  on.
• 5:42
  If
• 5:42
  they
• 5:42
  want
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  contribute,
• 5:43
  if
• 5:43
  they
• 5:44
  feel
• 5:44
  that
• 5:44
  they're
• 5:44
  happy
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  do
• 5:45
  that,
• 5:45
  by
• 5:46
  all
• 5:46
  means,
• 5:46
  do
• 5:46
  it.
• 5:47
  If
• 5:47
  you
• 5:47
  don't,
• 5:47
  just
• 5:47
  listen,
• 5:48
  because
• 5:50
  you
• 5:50
  learn
• 5:50
  by
• 5:50
  that,
• 5:51
  as
• 5:51
  well,
• 5:51
  and
• 5:51
  you
• 5:51
  think,
• 5:52
  is
• 5:52
  it
• 5:52
  really
• 5:52
  the
• 5:53
  place
• 5:53
  for
• 5:53
  me?
• 5:53
  And
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  know
• 5:56
  these
• 5:56
  kind
• 5:56
  of
• 5:57
  meetings
• 5:57
  are
• 5:57
  not
• 5:58
  for
• 5:58
  everyone,
• 5:59
  I'm
• 5:59
  well
• 5:59
  aware
• 6:00
  of
• 6:00
  that.
• 6:01
  But
• 6:01
  also
• 6:01
  anyone
• 6:02
  who
• 6:02
  comes
• 6:02
  there
• 6:03
  who
• 6:03
  doesn't
• 6:03
  want
• 6:03
  to
• 6:03
  start
• 6:04
  talking
• 6:04
  about
• 6:04
  things,
• 6:05
  you
• 6:05
  could
• 6:05
  find
• 6:05
  that,
• 6:06
  oh,
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  feel
• 6:06
  comfortable
• 6:07
  here.
• 6:08
  You
• 6:08
  know,
• 6:08
  people
• 6:08
  are
• 6:08
  talking
• 6:09
  about
• 6:09
  themselves
• 6:09
  and
• 6:10
  they
• 6:10
  share
• 6:10
  their
• 6:10
  own
• 6:11
  stories.
• 6:12
  So,
• 6:12
  you
• 6:13
  know,
• 6:13
  it
• 6:13
  is
• 6:14
  one
• 6:14
  of
• 6:14
  empathy,
• 6:15
  it's
• 6:15
  one
• 6:15
  of
• 6:15
  welcoming,
• 6:16
  it's
• 6:16
  the
• 6:16
  one
• 6:16
  of
• 6:16
  there's
• 6:17
  nothing
• 6:17
  solid
• 6:17
  about
• 6:18
  it.
• 6:18
  There's
• 6:18
  no
• 6:19
  script,
• 6:20
  if
• 6:20
  you
• 6:20
  like
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  go.
• 6:21
  We
• 6:21
  do
• 6:21
  what
• 6:21
  we
• 6:21
  like.
• 6:21
  And
• 6:22
  there
• 6:22
  is
• 6:22
  a
• 6:22
  lot
• 6:22
  of
• 6:22
  humour
• 6:23
  as
• 6:23
  well
• 6:23
  in
• 6:23
  there,
• 6:23
  not
• 6:24
  just
• 6:24
  talking
• 6:25
  about
• 6:25
  cancer.
• 6:25
  The
• 6:26
  group
• 6:26
  thrives
• 6:26
  on
• 6:27
  peer
• 6:27
  to
• 6:27
  peer
• 6:27
  support
• 6:28
  where
• 6:28
  those
• 6:28
  in
• 6:29
  remission
• 6:29
  provide
• 6:29
  hope
• 6:30
  to
• 6:30
  the
• 6:30
  newly
• 6:31
  diagnosed.
• 6:32
  I
• 6:32
  think
• 6:32
  the
• 6:33
  most
• 6:33
  profound
• 6:34
  benefit
• 6:35
  of
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  group
• 6:35
  is
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  hope
• 6:37
  and
• 6:37
  inspiration
• 6:38
  that
• 6:38
  it
• 6:38
  provides
• 6:39
  to
• 6:39
  so,
• 6:39
  so
• 6:40
  many
• 6:40
  people.
• 6:41
  When
• 6:41
  you
• 6:41
  hear
• 6:42
  in
• 6:42
  stories
• 6:43
  of
• 6:44
  resilience,
• 6:44
  if
• 6:45
  you
• 6:45
  like
• 6:45
  recovery,
• 6:47
  then
• 6:48
  anyone
• 6:48
  coming
• 6:48
  in
• 6:48
  listening
• 6:49
  to
• 6:49
  that
• 6:49
  gives
• 6:50
  a
• 6:50
  sense
• 6:50
  of
• 6:51
  hope
• 6:51
  that.
• 6:51
  Hold
• 6:52
  on
• 6:52
  a
• 6:52
  minute.
• 6:52
  There
• 6:53
  is
• 6:53
  a
• 6:53
  light
• 6:53
  at
• 6:53
  the
• 6:54
  end
• 6:54
  of
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  tunnel.
• 6:55
  And
• 6:55
  I
• 6:55
  do
• 6:55
  know
• 6:56
  from
• 6:56
  my
• 6:56
  own
• 6:56
  experience
• 6:57
  that
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  tunnel
• 6:58
  might
• 6:58
  be
• 6:58
  long.
• 6:59
  And
• 6:59
  I'm
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  realist
• 7:00
  to
• 7:00
  know
• 7:00
  that,
• 7:01
  you
• 7:01
  know,
• 7:01
  let's
• 7:02
  be
• 7:02
  serious
• 7:03
  about
• 7:03
  this.
• 7:03
  There's
• 7:04
  no
• 7:04
  easy
• 7:05
  way
• 7:05
  out
• 7:05
  of
• 7:05
  this.
• 7:05
  You're
• 7:06
  going
• 7:06
  to
• 7:06
  go
• 7:06
  through
• 7:06
  some
• 7:06
  tough
• 7:07
  times,
• 7:07
  but
• 7:08
  that
• 7:08
  light
• 7:08
  at
• 7:08
  the
• 7:09
  end
• 7:09
  of
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  tunnel
• 7:09
  just
• 7:10
  keeps
• 7:10
  you
• 7:10
  going.
• 7:11
  And
• 7:11
  I
• 7:11
  think
• 7:11
  that's
• 7:11
  really
• 7:12
  what
• 7:12
  it
• 7:12
  is.
• 7:12
  We've
• 7:12
  got
• 7:13
  some
• 7:13
  300
• 7:13
  members
• 7:14
  now
• 7:14
  on
• 7:15
  Facebook
• 7:15
  and
• 7:15
  everything
• 7:16
  else.
• 7:16
  But
• 7:16
  I
• 7:17
  think
• 7:17
  what's
• 7:17
  happening,
• 7:18
  particularly
• 7:19
  on
• 7:19
  the
• 7:19
  last
• 7:19
  one,
• 7:19
  we
• 7:20
  have
• 7:20
  13
• 7:21
  different
• 7:21
  cancers
• 7:22
  within
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  room
• 7:23
  and
• 7:24
  people
• 7:24
  will
• 7:24
  say,
• 7:25
  well,
• 7:25
  hold
• 7:25
  on
• 7:25
  a
• 7:25
  minute,
• 7:26
  how
• 7:26
  is
• 7:26
  the
• 7:27
  prostate
• 7:27
  cancer
• 7:28
  going
• 7:28
  to
• 7:28
  help
• 7:28
  a
• 7:28
  lung
• 7:29
  cancer?
• 7:29
  Or
• 7:30
  it's
• 7:30
  not
• 7:31
  about
• 7:31
  medical
• 7:32
  side
• 7:33
  here.
• 7:33
  We're
• 7:33
  talking
• 7:34
  about
• 7:34
  how
• 7:34
  people
• 7:34
  can
• 7:35
  cope
• 7:36
  and
• 7:36
  what
• 7:37
  is
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  best
• 7:37
  way.
• 7:37
  And
• 7:38
  some
• 7:38
  of
• 7:38
  the
• 7:39
  exchanges
• 7:40
  between
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  patients
• 7:42
  and
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  carers
• 7:43
  and
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  loved
• 7:43
  ones
• 7:43
  is
• 7:44
  phone
• 7:44
  numbers
• 7:44
  is,
• 7:45
  oh,
• 7:45
  I've
• 7:45
  done
• 7:45
  this.
• 7:46
  Or
• 7:46
  maybe
• 7:46
  you
• 7:46
  go
• 7:47
  there.
• 7:47
  And
• 7:47
  I
• 7:47
  think
• 7:47
  that's
• 7:47
  really,
• 7:48
  it's
• 7:48
  a
• 7:48
  peer
• 7:48
  to
• 7:48
  peer
• 7:49
  support
• 7:49
  and
• 7:50
  it
• 7:50
  works
• 7:50
  wonders.
• 7:50
  I'm
• 7:51
  only
• 7:51
  there
• 7:51
  to
• 7:51
  put
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  jigsaw
• 7:52
  pieces
• 7:53
  together,
• 7:53
  you
• 7:54
  know,
• 7:54
  okay,
• 7:54
  I'm
• 7:55
  privileged
• 7:55
  to
• 7:55
  be
• 7:55
  running
• 7:56
  it,
• 7:56
  but
• 7:57
  someone
• 7:57
  needs
• 7:57
  to
• 7:58
  do
• 7:58
  that.
• 7:58
  That's
• 7:59
  all
• 7:59
  it
• 7:59
  is.
• 7:59
  But
• 7:59
  they
• 8:00
  is
• 8:00
  their
• 8:00
  group,
• 8:01
  as
• 8:01
  simple
• 8:02
  as
• 8:02
  that.
• 8:02
  They
• 8:02
  are
• 8:02
  charity.
• 9:15
  Andy
• 9:15
  has
• 9:15
  extended
• 9:16
  this
• 9:16
  support
• 9:16
  through

  a
• 9:17
  private
• 9:17
  Samaritan-type
• 9:18
  listening
• 9:19
  line
• 9:19
  and
• 9:19
  a
• 9:20
  YouTube
• 9:20
  channel
• 9:20
  featuring
• 9:21
  inspirational
• 9:21
  stories
• 9:22
  and
• 9:22
  research.
• 9:23
  Last
• 9:23
  year
• 9:24
  we
• 9:24
  decided
• 9:25
  that
• 9:26
  maybe
• 9:27
  people
• 9:27
  want
• 9:27
  to
• 9:28
  talk
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  us
• 9:29
  in
• 9:29
  private.
• 9:30
  So
• 9:30
  I
• 9:31
  have
• 9:31
  now
• 9:31
  got
• 9:31
  a
• 9:32
  dedicated
• 9:33
  line
• 9:33
  for
• 9:34
  anyone
• 9:34
  wishes
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  speak
• 9:35
  to
• 9:35
  us.
• 9:35
  It's
• 9:36
  a
• 9:36
  kind
• 9:36
  of,
• 9:36
  if
• 9:36
  you
• 9:37
  like,
• 9:37
  a
• 9:38
  Samaritan
• 9:38
  line,
• 9:39
  if
• 9:39
  I
• 9:39
  can
• 9:39
  put
• 9:39
  it
• 9:39
  like
• 9:40
  that,
• 9:40
  where
• 9:40
  it's
• 9:41
  a
• 9:41
  listening
• 9:41
  ear.
• 9:42
  And
• 9:43
  there
• 9:43
  is
• 9:44
  a
• 9:44
  phone
• 9:44
  number
• 9:45
  on
• 9:45
  Facebook
• 9:46
  group.
• 9:46
  It's
• 9:47
  only
• 9:47
  for
• 9:48
  members
• 9:49
  because
• 9:49
  if
• 9:49
  I
• 9:49
  put
• 9:49
  it
• 9:49
  out,
• 9:50
  I
• 9:50
  won't
• 9:50
  be
• 9:51
  able
• 9:51
  to
• 9:51
  cope
• 9:51
  with
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  phone
• 9:52
  calls.
• 9:53
  And
• 9:53
  because
• 9:54
  it's
• 9:54
  not
• 9:54
  24,
• 9:55
  7
• 9:56
  sitting
• 9:56
  on
• 9:56
  here
• 9:57
  waiting
• 9:57
  for
• 9:57
  the
• 9:57
  calls
• 9:57
  to
• 9:58
  come
• 9:58
  in,
• 9:58
  they
• 9:58
  can
• 9:59
  leave
• 9:59
  their
• 10:00
  name,
• 10:00
  their
• 10:00
  phone
• 10:00
  number,
• 10:01
  and
• 10:01
  I
• 10:01
  will
• 10:01
  call
• 10:01
  them
• 10:02
  back.
• 10:02
  It's
• 10:03
  not
• 10:03
  a
• 10:03
  question
• 10:03
  of
• 10:03
  advising
• 10:04
  anyone.
• 10:04
  It's
• 10:05
  just
• 10:05
  that
• 10:05
  maybe
• 10:05
  they
• 10:05
  want
• 10:06
  to
• 10:06
  listen
• 10:07
  to
• 10:07
  someone
• 10:07
  else,
• 10:08
  what
• 10:08
  it
• 10:08
  is,
• 10:08
  rather
• 10:08
  than
• 10:09
  the
• 10:09
  relatives.
• 10:09
  I
• 10:10
  have
• 10:10
  had
• 10:10
  a
• 10:10
  few
• 10:10
  calls
• 10:11
  and
• 10:11
  in
• 10:12
  fact,
• 10:12
  a
• 10:12
  couple
• 10:12
  of
• 10:12
  them
• 10:13
  I
• 10:13
  actually
• 10:13
  met
• 10:14
  and
• 10:14
  had
• 10:14
  coffee
• 10:15
  with
• 10:15
  them
• 10:15
  because
• 10:15
  obviously,
• 10:16
  to
• 10:16
  start
• 10:17
  with,
• 10:17
  they
• 10:17
  don't
• 10:17
  want
• 10:17
  to
• 10:18
  be
• 10:18
  seen.
• 10:18
  They're
• 10:19
  not
• 10:19
  telling
• 10:19
  you
• 10:19
  too
• 10:20
  much.
• 10:20
  They
• 10:20
  want
• 10:20
  to
• 10:20
  be
• 10:21
  anonymous.
• 10:21
  And
• 10:21
  I
• 10:21
  can
• 10:22
  understand
• 10:22
  that,
• 10:22
  you
• 10:23
  know,
• 10:24
  but
• 10:24
  that
• 10:24
  obviously
• 10:25
  sparked
• 10:25
  off
• 10:26
  a
• 10:26
  different
• 10:26
  relationship.
• 10:27
  And
• 10:27
  in
• 10:28
  fact,
• 10:29
  those
• 10:29
  people
• 10:29
  as
• 10:29
  they
• 10:30
  come
• 10:30
  to
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  group,
• 10:31
  so
• 10:31
  you
• 10:31
  can
• 10:31
  see
• 10:31
  how
• 10:32
  it
• 10:32
  goes.
• 10:32
  And
• 10:33
  at
• 10:33
  the
• 10:33
  same
• 10:33
  time,
• 10:34
  last
• 10:34
  year
• 10:34
  we
• 10:34
  set
• 10:35
  up
• 10:35
  a
• 10:35
  YouTube
• 10:36
  channel.
• 10:36
  We
• 10:37
  interview
• 10:37
  cancer
• 10:38
  patients.
• 10:39
  So
• 10:39
  it's
• 10:40
  an
• 10:40
  inspirational
• 10:41
  side
• 10:41
  of
• 10:41
  it
• 10:42
  as
• 10:42
  well
• 10:42
  there,
• 10:43
  because
• 10:44
  I
• 10:44
  research
• 10:45
  quite
• 10:45
  a
• 10:46
  bit
• 10:46
  on
• 10:47
  new
• 10:47
  studies
• 10:48
  and
• 10:49
  research,
• 10:49
  and
• 10:50
  that's
• 10:50
  something
• 10:50
  that
• 10:50
  we
• 10:50
  talk
• 10:51
  about
• 10:51
  the
• 10:51
  meetings
• 10:51
  as
• 10:52
  well.
• 10:52
  I
• 10:52
  decided
• 10:53
  that
• 10:54
  I've
• 10:54
  done
• 10:54
  the
• 10:54
  work,
• 10:55
  so
• 10:55
  I
• 10:55
  do
• 10:55
  a
• 10:55
  little
• 10:56
  video,
• 10:56
  maybe
• 10:56
  five
• 10:57
  minutes
• 10:57
  or
• 10:57
  something,
• 10:57
  and
• 10:58
  I
• 10:58
  upload
• 10:58
  that
• 10:59
  there.
• 10:59
  So
• 10:59
  a
• 11:00
  lot
• 11:00
  of
• 11:00
  people
• 11:00
  will
• 11:00
  look
• 11:00
  at
• 11:01
  that
• 11:01
  as
• 11:01
  well
• 11:01
  or
• 11:01
  listen
• 11:02
  to
• 11:02
  that
• 11:02
  as
• 11:02
  well.
• 11:03
  I
• 11:03
  hope
• 11:03
  it
• 11:03
  all
• 11:03
  helps.
• 11:04
  Yeah.
• 11:04
  Andy's
• 11:05
  journey
• 11:05
  from
• 11:05
  a
• 11:05
  stage
• 11:06
  four
• 11:06
  diagnosis
• 11:07
  to
• 11:07
  a
• 11:07
  community
• 11:07
  leader
• 11:08
  is
• 11:08
  a
• 11:08
  powerful
• 11:09
  reminder
• 11:09
  of
• 11:09
  the
• 11:09
  resilience
• 11:10
  found
• 11:10
  right
• 11:11
  here
• 11:11
  in
• 11:11
  Shepperton.
• 11:12
  Yes,
• 11:12
  I
• 11:12
  have
• 11:13
  been
• 11:13
  a
• 11:13
  patient.
• 11:13
  I
• 11:13
  have
• 11:13
  been
• 11:14
  in
• 11:14
  remission
• 11:14
  for,
• 11:14
  I
• 11:14
  don't
• 11:15
  know,
• 11:15
  seven
• 11:15
  years
• 11:15
  now,
• 11:16
  whatever
• 11:16
  it
• 11:16
  is.
• 11:17
  But
• 11:17
  at
• 11:17
  the
• 11:18
  back
• 11:18
  of
• 11:18
  your
• 11:18
  mind,
• 11:18
  you're
• 11:19
  still
• 11:19
  a
• 11:19
  patient.
• 11:19
  Whichever
• 11:20
  way
• 11:20
  you
• 11:20
  look
• 11:20
  at
• 11:20
  it,
• 11:20
  you're
• 11:20
  a
• 11:21
  patient.
• 11:21
  I
• 11:21
  think
• 11:21
  every
• 11:22
  six
• 11:22
  months,
• 11:22
  I'm
• 11:22
  reminded
• 11:23
  of
• 11:23
  my
• 11:24
  checkups
• 11:25
  that
• 11:25
  I
• 11:25
  have,
• 11:25
  that
• 11:25
  I'm
• 11:26
  a
• 11:26
  patient.
• 11:27
  I
• 11:27
  have
• 11:27
  adopted
• 11:28
  a
• 11:28
  few
• 11:28
  things
• 11:29
  that
• 11:29
  helped
• 11:29
  me
• 11:29
  so
• 11:30
  far.
• 11:30
  But
• 11:30
  I
• 11:31
  think
• 11:31
  listening
• 11:31
  to
• 11:31
  other
• 11:32
  people
• 11:32
  as
• 11:32
  well,
• 11:33
  I
• 11:33
  think
• 11:33
  I
• 11:34
  have
• 11:34
  learned
• 11:34
  a
• 11:35
  lot
• 11:35
  more.
• 11:36
  Maybe
• 11:36
  I
• 11:36
  wasn't
• 11:36
  doing
• 11:37
  that
• 11:37
  at
• 11:37
  the
• 11:37
  time,
• 11:38
  but
• 11:38
  I
• 11:38
  can
• 11:38
  see
• 11:39
  now
• 11:39
  how
• 11:41
  people
• 11:41
  are
• 11:41
  pinning
• 11:42
  their
• 11:42
  hopes
• 11:42
  on
• 11:43
  certain
• 11:43
  things,
• 11:44
  either
• 11:44
  because
• 11:44
  they've
• 11:45
  heard
• 11:45
  or
• 11:45
  they're
• 11:45
  doing.
• 11:46
  And
• 11:46
  I
• 11:47
  think
• 11:47
  that
• 11:48
  I
• 11:48
  gathered
• 11:49
  that
• 11:49
  information
• 11:49
  because
• 11:50
  those
• 11:50
  people
• 11:50
  might
• 11:50
  not
• 11:51
  be
• 11:51
  there
• 11:51
  tomorrow.
• 11:52
  Some
• 11:52
  of
• 11:52
  them
• 11:52
  come
• 11:52
  there
• 11:52
  and
• 11:53
  they
• 11:53
  go
• 11:53
  back,
• 11:53
  and
• 11:53
  I
• 11:53
  thought,
• 11:53
  this
• 11:54
  is
• 11:54
  quite
• 11:54
  nice
• 11:54
  to
• 11:55
  mention
• 11:56
  at
• 11:56
  some
• 11:56
  meetings
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  help
• 11:57
  others.
• 11:58
  So
• 11:58
  it's
• 11:58
  gathering
• 11:59
  of
• 11:59
  information,
• 11:59
  really.
• 12:00
  And
• 12:00
  if
• 12:00
  someone
• 12:01
  tells
• 12:01
  you,
• 12:01
  I
• 12:02
  know
• 12:02
  what
• 12:03
  you
• 12:03
  mean,
• 12:04
  you
• 12:04
  don't,
• 12:05
  you
• 12:05
  really
• 12:05
  don't
• 12:06
  know
• 12:06
  what
• 12:06
  I
• 12:06
  mean,
• 12:07
  simply
• 12:07
  because
• 12:07
  I
• 12:07
  am
• 12:08
  me
• 12:08
  and
• 12:08
  you
• 12:09
  are
• 12:09
  you.
• 12:09
  And
• 12:10
  although
• 12:11
  we
• 12:11
  understand
• 12:12
  roughly
• 12:12
  what
• 12:12
  the
• 12:13
  situation
• 12:13
  is,
• 12:14
  everyone
• 12:15
  is
• 12:15
  unique
• 12:16
  in
• 12:16
  their
• 12:16
  experience
• 12:17
  and
• 12:17
  it's
• 12:18
  nice
• 12:18
  to
• 12:18
  mention
• 12:18
  all
• 12:19
  of
• 12:19
  these
• 12:19
  things
• 12:19
  because
• 12:19
  they
• 12:20
  might
• 12:20
  fit
• 12:21
  on
• 12:21
  one
• 12:22
  situation
• 12:22
  but
• 12:23
  not
• 12:23
  on
• 12:23
  the
• 12:23
  others.
• 12:24
  And
• 12:24
  people
• 12:24
  will
• 12:25
  judge
• 12:25
  for
• 12:25
  themselves
• 12:26
  as
• 12:26
  to
• 12:26
  what's
• 12:27
  good
• 12:27
  for
• 12:27
  them.
• 12:27
  And
• 12:27
  I
• 12:27
  think
• 12:28
  that's
• 12:28
  so
• 12:29
  great,
• 12:29
  so
• 12:30
  great.
• 12:30
  I
• 12:30
  asked
• 12:31
  Andy,
• 12:31
  if
• 12:31
  people
• 12:32
  are
• 12:32
  unsure
• 12:32
  about
• 12:33
  whether
• 12:33
  to
• 12:33
  reach
• 12:33
  out
• 12:34
  and
• 12:34
  join
• 12:34
  a
• 12:34
  group
• 12:34
  like
• 12:35
  this,
• 12:35
  what
• 12:35
  would
• 12:36
  he
• 12:36
  say
• 12:36
  to
• 12:36
  them?
• 12:37
  I'll
• 12:37
  say
• 12:38
  that
• 12:38
  we've
• 12:39
  all
• 12:39
  been
• 12:39
  through
• 12:39
  that
• 12:40
  situation.
• 12:41
  It
• 12:41
  is
• 12:41
  daunting.
• 12:43
  And
• 12:43
  I
• 12:43
  think
• 12:43
  what
• 12:43
  you're
• 12:44
  going
• 12:44
  to
• 12:44
  get
• 12:44
  out
• 12:44
  of
• 12:44
  the
• 12:45
  group
• 12:45
  is
• 12:46
  a
• 12:46
  sincere
• 12:47
  message
• 12:48
  and
• 12:48
  a
• 12:48
  sincere
• 12:49
  experience
• 12:50
  from
• 12:50
  people
• 12:50
  who
• 12:50
  are
• 12:51
  already
• 12:51
  going
• 12:51
  through.
• 12:52
  Yes,
• 12:53
  it's
• 12:53
  an
• 12:53
  enormous
• 12:54
  mountain
• 12:55
  to
• 12:55
  climb,
• 12:55
  but
• 12:56
  at
• 12:56
  least
• 12:56
  at
• 12:57
  the
• 12:57
  same
• 12:57
  time,
• 12:58
  maybe
• 12:58
  what
• 12:59
  other
• 12:59
  people
• 12:59
  are
• 12:59
  saying
• 13:00
  will
• 13:00
  help
• 13:00
  you
• 13:01
  move
• 13:02
  on
• 13:02
  to
• 13:02
  the
• 13:02
  next
• 13:02
  stage.
• 13:03
  And
• 13:03
  I
• 13:03
  think
• 13:04
  that's
• 13:04
  really
• 13:04
  the
• 13:05
  message
• 13:05
  that
• 13:05
  I'm
• 13:05
  going
• 13:05
  to
• 13:06
  put
• 13:06
  across
• 13:06
  to
• 13:06
  a
• 13:06
  newly
• 13:07
  diagnosed
• 13:07
  is
• 13:08
  there
• 13:08
  is
• 13:08
  hope
• 13:09
  out
• 13:09
  there.
• 13:10
  It's
• 13:10
  difficult
• 13:11
  to
• 13:11
  know
• 13:11
  which
• 13:12
  avenue
• 13:12
  to
• 13:13
  take,
• 13:13
  if
• 13:13
  you
• 13:13
  like,
• 13:13
  because
• 13:14
  the
• 13:14
  medical
• 13:15
  is
• 13:15
  telling
• 13:15
  you
• 13:15
  one
• 13:16
  thing,
• 13:16
  you've
• 13:16
  got
• 13:16
  relatives
• 13:17
  and
• 13:17
  friends
• 13:18
  who
• 13:18
  are
• 13:18
  trying
• 13:18
  to
• 13:18
  support
• 13:19
  you,
• 13:20
  but,
• 13:21
  you
• 13:21
  know,
• 13:22
  we've
• 13:22
  all
• 13:22
  been
• 13:22
  through
• 13:23
  there.
• 13:23
  I
• 13:23
  didn't
• 13:24
  tell
• 13:24
  my
• 13:24
  kids
• 13:24
  for
• 13:24
  three
• 13:25
  months
• 13:26
  because
• 13:27
  I
• 13:27
  didn't
• 13:27
  want
• 13:27
  them.
• 13:28
  What
• 13:28
  I
• 13:28
  thought
• 13:28
  I
• 13:28
  was
• 13:29
  trying
• 13:29
  to
• 13:29
  protect
• 13:29
  them.
• 13:30
  And
• 13:31
  when
• 13:31
  they
• 13:32
  heard,
• 13:32
  obviously
• 13:33
  I
• 13:33
  won't
• 13:33
  say
• 13:33
  what
• 13:33
  they
• 13:34
  said,
• 13:34
  but
• 13:34
  friends
• 13:35
  always
• 13:35
  say,
• 13:36
  ah,
• 13:36
  you'll
• 13:36
  be
• 13:36
  all
• 13:36
  right.
• 13:37
  You
• 13:37
  do
• 13:37
  that.
• 13:37
  And
• 13:38
  sometimes
• 13:38
  it's
• 13:39
  not
• 13:39
  what
• 13:39
  you
• 13:39
  want
• 13:39
  to
• 13:40
  hear
• 13:40
  because
• 13:40
  if
• 13:40
  you're
• 13:41
  not
• 13:41
  doing
• 13:41
  okay,
• 13:42
  you
• 13:42
  think,
• 13:42
  oh,
• 13:43
  my
• 13:43
  friend
• 13:43
  said
• 13:43
  I
• 13:44
  should
• 13:44
  be
• 13:44
  okay.
• 13:44
  So
• 13:44
  you're
• 13:45
  going
• 13:45
  further
• 13:45
  down
• 13:46
  from
• 13:46
  the
• 13:46
  people
• 13:46
  within
• 13:47
  the
• 13:47
  group,
• 13:47
  you're
• 13:47
  going
• 13:47
  to
• 13:48
  hear
• 13:48
  what
• 13:49
  they've
• 13:49
  gone
• 13:49
  through.
• 13:50
  You
• 13:50
  can
• 13:50
  find
• 13:50
  the
• 13:51
  group
• 13:51
  at
• 13:51
  thepatientcancersupportgroup.co.uk.
• 13:54
  We
• 13:55
  have
• 13:55
  a
• 13:55
  website
• 13:55
  which
• 13:56
  is
• 13:56
  straightforward,
• 13:57
  thepatientcancersupportgroup.co.uk.
• 14:00
  They
• 14:01
  can
• 14:01
  find
• 14:02
  email
• 14:02
  in
• 14:03
  there.
• 14:03
  It
• 14:03
  actually
• 14:03
  tells
• 14:04
  them
• 14:04
  who
• 14:04
  is
• 14:04
  supporting
• 14:05
  us,
• 14:05
  what
• 14:06
  do
• 14:06
  we
• 14:06
  do.
• 14:06
  So
• 14:07
  we
• 14:07
  also
• 14:07
  have
• 14:08
  a
• 14:08
  Facebook
• 14:08
  group
• 14:09
  that
• 14:10
  can
• 14:10
  join
• 14:10
  that
• 14:10
  is
• 14:11
  private,
• 14:11
  so
• 14:11
  we
• 14:12
  don't
• 14:12
  work
• 14:12
  want
• 14:12
  any
• 14:13
  silly
• 14:14
  things
• 14:14
  to
• 14:14
  be
• 14:15
  uploaded
• 14:16
  on
• 14:16
  that.
• 14:16
  I
• 14:17
  do
• 14:17
  approve
• 14:18
  patients
• 14:19
  to
• 14:19
  come
• 14:20
  in
• 14:20
  or
• 14:20
  anyone
• 14:20
  to
• 14:21
  come
• 14:21
  in,
• 14:21
  and
• 14:21
  also
• 14:22
  I
• 14:22
  approve
• 14:23
  every
• 14:23
  single
• 14:23
  post
• 14:24
  that
• 14:24
  goes
• 14:24
  in
• 14:24
  there.
• 14:25
  But
• 14:25
  it's
• 14:26
  again,
• 14:26
  I
• 14:26
  think
• 14:26
  it's
• 14:27
  word
• 14:27
  of
• 14:27
  the
• 14:27
  mouth
• 14:27
  these
• 14:28
  days.
• 14:28
  I
• 14:28
  mean,
• 14:29
  we're
• 14:29
  supported
• 14:30
  by
• 14:30
  the
• 14:31
  two
• 14:31
  hospitals.
• 14:32
  Our
• 14:32
  poster
• 14:33
  is
• 14:33
  on
• 14:33
  every
• 14:34
  notice
• 14:34
  board
• 14:35
  of
• 14:35
  the
• 14:35
  hospital
• 14:35
  by
• 14:36
  change.
• 14:36
  Because
• 14:37
  of
• 14:37
  my
• 14:37
  connection
• 14:37
  with
• 14:37
  them,
• 14:38
  I
• 14:38
  sit
• 14:38
  on
• 14:38
  the
• 14:38
  cancer
• 14:38
  board
• 14:39
  of
• 14:39
  the
• 14:39
  hospital.
• 14:39
  So
• 14:40
  therefore
• 14:40
  I
• 14:40
  get
• 14:40
  as
• 14:41
  a
• 14:41
  patient
• 14:42
  representative,
• 14:42
  let's
• 14:43
  just
• 14:43
  say
• 14:43
  so
• 14:43
  I
• 14:43
  get
• 14:44
  information
• 14:44
  from
• 14:44
  them.
• 14:45
  I
• 14:46
  take
• 14:46
  hours
• 14:46
  there.
• 14:47
  So
• 14:48
  that's
• 14:48
  why
• 14:48
  the
• 14:48
  posters
• 14:49
  there,
• 14:49
  Macmillan
• 14:50
  have
• 14:50
  it
• 14:50
  on
• 14:50
  their
• 14:51
  website
• 14:51
  so
• 14:51
  they
• 14:52
  can
• 14:52
  be
• 14:52
  referred
• 14:53
  to
• 14:53
  from
• 14:53
  there.
• 14:54
  Medical
• 14:54
  practices
• 14:55
  have
• 14:55
  it
• 14:55
  on
• 14:55
  their
