Download Steve Hewlett: Dealing with the effects of cancer treatment

Earlier this year Steve Hewlett, presenter of Radio 4's The Media Show, was diagnosed as having cancer of the oesophagus, and has been telling us over the last few weeks about his approach to treatment.

In this podcast Steve talks about visiting the "business class" area of the hospital, otherwise known as the private patients unit, to take a new cancer drug. He also shares his experience of wearing a "Paxman", a new machine for the cold cap, which gave him "a worse headache than (Jeremy) Paxman ever managed".
