Louise White asks listeners for their experiences of dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

Louise White sits in for Kaye Adams and asks listeners for their experiences of dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

We're looking for your experience of dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Latest figures show that 11 out of 14 of Scotland's health boards are not hitting the target for treating patients urgently referred with a suspicion of cancer. So what has been you or your loved ones experience of going through the most stressful of experiences?

GOOD GRIEF.
Could you celebrate the death of a child? Louise speaks to the mum who did just that and went on a journey round the world exploring different nations' attitude to loss.

AIRPORT BAGGAGE CHARGES
A traveller went to extraordinary lengths to avoid baggage charges on a flight to Iceland by wearing every item of clothing for the entire trip on the flight. Louise gets advice on how to get the most out of your baggage allowance and how to avoid the extra charges.

DOMESTIC ABUSE
The Archers current attention grabbing story line isn't a gentle tale of rural life but a hard hitting story of domestic strife. We look at the portrayal of domestic abuse in the media and ask if we need a wider understanding of its' definition.

ANDY MURRAY NEW DAD
He's only won twice since becoming a dad and former British Number 1 Annabel Croft says he looks "exhausted". Louise asks if we need to make more allowances for new dads in the workplace?

LOBBYING
The first caller on yesterday's phone-in hour warned against crossing Scotland's powerful cycling lobby - we look at the power and secret world of lobbying groups.

ARTHRITIS
Are we facing an arthritis epidemic? With numbers projected to double in within 15 years we look at what it's like to live with the condition and the options for alleviating the pain.
