BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Acceptance: Lois Pryce and Ian Marchant

Lois Pryce talks to Ian Marchant about acceptance in the face of a cancer diagnosis.

Travel writer Lois Pryce has learnt a thing or two about acceptance over the last few years having been hit by long Covid. She went from somebody who solo motorcycled around the world to somebody who couldn't walk to the corner shop. A big turning point in her recovery was when she realised she couldn't fight it; she had to accept it. Today, she talks about this idea of acceptance with author - and dear friend - Ian Marchant, who has done a lot of accepting of his own over the last few years after being diagnosed with prostate cancer in early 2020.
