Episode 2

In episode two we follow three families whose lives are reshaped by a cancer diagnosis.

We meet 83-year-old June and her daughters in the consulting room as she learns she has pancreatic cancer. It is a diagnosis that ripples through the generations as her family faces up to her imminent death. Over the months we see her fulfil her bucket list - top of the list is living long enough to see her granddaughter marry. But as the months pass, a continual deterioration is putting this in jeopardy.

Nine-year-old Mikey has been diagnosed with a brain tumour, and we join him as he begins chemotherapy. As treatment progresses, the family comes together to support one another. Beyond the family, we see how Mikey's cancer brings the local community together.

Meanwhile, 17-year-old Phoebe is receiving treatment for a tumour on her kidney. We're with her as she is offered the chance to travel to America for proton radiotherapy - a treatment as yet unavailable in the UK. Juggling schoolwork, a new relationship and treatment is at times overwhelming, but Phoebe faces it with determination. Using a blog to give vent to her changing emotions, she explores what her cancer diagnosis means.
