Didn't See That Coming – Détails, épisodes et analyse

After her own “Didn’t See That Coming” moment - a breast cancer diagnosis at just 39 - Helen Addis MBE sets out to explore what life with the Big C really looks like.

From diagnosis to treatment, from the mental toll to learning how to live with a new normal, this podcast goes beyond the medical story to uncover the lived experience of people affected by cancer - the raw, honest and deeply human reality behind the headlines.

Helen’s first guest, released on World Cancer Day, is the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting.

He speaks candidly about his own kidney cancer diagnosis, the difficulty of telling his partner, and why he’ll never be a swimwear model (!). It’s a very different side of Wes - more open, more personal, and more reflective.

Alongside his own “didn’t see that coming” moment, Wes also talks through the new National Cancer Plan being launched today - what it means for patients, where the system is falling short, and how the government hopes to improve cancer care in the years ahead.
