In this episode Lucy talks to Connor Fleming.
Connor is just a normal young man in his twenties.

He loves playing cricket and football; sport is his life.

Show Notes

If you met Connor on the cricket field you’d just think he was your average 27 year old,
albeit one with an exceptional batting prowess.

You would have no idea he has cancer. You would have no idea he is on chemotherapy.
You would have no idea what he has to go through every single day, to keep his life as
normal as possible.

Lucy and Connor have known each other for just over 2.5 years. Lucy is one of his
oncologists.

In this episode, Connor talks to Lucy about how he has found his own way to move against
cancer, and, particularly for him the importance of keeping life as normal as possible despite
everything cancer throws at him.
Not all superheroes wear capes; some wear camouflage. Connor is one of those.

What is The MOVE Against Cancer Podcast?

Welcome to the Move Against Cancer Podcast.

This podcast aspires to support and inspire people to move, exercise and live an active and fulfilling life despite a cancer diagnosis. We share the stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

We know that many people are scared to stay active during cancer treatment. We know that for some, cancer can take away the hope that comes from dreaming of a future. And we know many people diagnosed with cancer feel isolated and lonely.

We hope that by sharing the stories of others finding their own way through cancer, the Move Against Cancer podcast will provide hope, support and a sense of empowerment to anyone living with or beyond cancer.

Unfortunately, cancer will affect everyone either personally or through our loved ones and so whatever position you are in we hope you will learn and be inspired by our podcast. Thank you so much for listening.
