00:00It's actually the fact that this is actually as a hub, it's a place to reach out to work.
00:11You know, people think I don't think it's actually transformed.
00:15I don't know, actually that sense of getting through this,
00:18you are saying that sense of superficial difficulty of getting through.
00:23Can I introduce you to these?
00:27How are you involved in?
00:30So I had excellent care of clinical cancer.
00:34I finished just about a year ago.
00:36But I suffered the effects of radiotherapy fatigue,
00:40but felt that I couldn't bother with it because it was cancer.
00:45I noticed there's a whole phase where you've finished your treatment.
00:48You're done.
00:50Everybody expects you, right, you're finished.
00:52Your time, you're better.
00:53Yes.
00:54And it's not the case at all.
00:56No, and then they sank down a little bit because of my job.
00:59You know, you're not necessarily in the clinical team any longer,
01:03but you're not able to function normally at home as you pass what's used to.
01:09And actually someone to help talk you through that,
01:12show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after you.
01:16And I think it's really valuable and really underrated,
01:20especially to have a space like this here,
01:23you know, for patients, not only during,
01:27but also on that recovery journey.
01:30It's very discombobulating, I think,
01:32that time when you finish active treatment
01:35because there is a lot of activity and, you know...
01:38I think it's very important.
01:39It's very important.
