**Trigger Warning**

Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara catch up with Helen Haar and Catarina Correia Velosa Da Veiga.

Discussion about Helen’s diagnosis, her teenage and young adult campaiging, late effects and Catarina’s research, the importance of the patient voice in research and how hearing Helen’s story has changed how she views cancer research.
