Latest News Picks

Available for over a year

Last October the Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts announced she'd been diagnosed with bowel cancer. The treatment is intense - she had surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The surgery means your bowel needs time to recover, so it's diverted to an opening called a stoma on your tummy and you use bags to collect the waste. For 5 Minutes On, BBC Radio 5 Live's Naga Munchetty shares her amazing chat with Adele - covering anything and everything - including Audrey - her stoma. Adele and Audrey are on the front cover of Women's Health magazine. Being so open about life with a stoma has inspired lots of people. Image Credit - BBC News
