We know recovery doesn't end when treatment does. Survivor's guilt can hang over a young person as they move forward with their lives, remembering their peers who passed away. And despite being a difficult and conflicting feeling, often it goes unshared and unsupported. 

Teenage Cancer Trust Nurse Consultant Sue Morgan MBE & Annie, who has sailed with the Trust, have given talks on survivor's guilt. They share with Sound Waves why it's important we all acknowledge it - young people and practitioners alike - to make sure no one is made to cope all on their own.
