The Bigger Picture
A cancer diagnosis can be a worrying time and we want to help you through that diagnosis and beyond. What is it like having a scan? What research is going on to make cancer diagnosis better? How can we improve patients' experience of cancer diagnosis? Can we develop better treatments? Researchers from the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King's College London will help you see the bigger picture by talking about their exciting research while patients who have gone through cancer diagnosis and treatment talk about their experiences of having scans and therapy. Through talking together we can find better ways to diagnose and treat cancer, improve patients' experience of cancer diagnosis and keep you up to date with exciting developments in the field of cancer diagnosis and therapy. The podcast is funded by a grant from the Public Engagement fund in the Centre for Medical Engineering at King's College London.

Episode 6
Maggie spoke to Darlaine about her experience with a less common type of breast cancer called Lobular Breast Cancer. It really is quite different from normal breast cancer and is more difficult to diagnose and manage. Maggie also spoke to Dr George Keeling who is working on developing a new simple method to make a new radiopharmaceutical to detect bone metastases that may result from cancers such as breast cancer or prostate cancer. Here he describes his 'pot noodle' approach to making drugs radioactive.
