Cathy, Andrew and Emily

Episode 2 of 5

Duration:
15 minutes
First broadcast:
Sunday 27 November 2011

Five programmes exploring the ways in which we decide how far to be honest about ourselves, and in doing so become vulnerable to the judgements of others.

2. Cathy, Andrew and Emily

Multiple Sclerosis is most often diagnosed in people aged between 20 and 40, a time when careers and relationships are of primary importance. Two MS patients in their 30s talk about the challenges of coming out with the disease, and how far to be totally open about it.

Producer Christine Hall.
