A High Wycombe woman suffering from metastatic breast cancer has launched a podcast disclosing details of her journey whilst speaking to other patients.
Mita Devlin, 39, is currently based at the South Buck Hospice and launched her ‘More Than Meets The Eye’ audio show after being diagnosed with the illness two-and-a-half years ago.
The content focuses on the highs and lows of her treatment, in which she chats with additional cancer battlers and members of the hospital staff.

In one of the interviews, Mita spoke to Juliette Coffey, the head of individual and family support at the hospice, with the two working together as part of the former’s recovery.
Mita said, “My cancer diagnosis has changed my life for the better.
“I now know what really matters and I am focussed on helping others reach that realisation and to optimise their health.
“My podcast aims to shine a light on ordinary people doing extraordinary things in times of adversity.”
