Maudsley Learning, in collaboration with Takeda, have created a series of cancer and mental wellbeing videos to help patients and families manage the psychological impact of cancer.
This video series has been developed as part of a partnership between Takeda UK Ltd. and Maudsley Learning and is fully funded by Takeda UK Ltd. All content has been developed by Maudsley Learning, with input from relevant patient organisations, including ALK Positive UK.

Breaking Bad News
Breaking the news of a cancer diagnosis to family and friends can be one of the hardest things we have to do. Whilst it may be upsetting, when it’s done skilfully it can improve understanding and reduce anxiety, as well as bringing people closer together. In this video, we look at some things to avoid when breaking bad news and recommend skills and techniques to help you. Remember that however you do it, creating space and time for the other person to hear, absorb and react to the news is the most important first step.
Common Reactions
The period of time before, and soon after, receiving a cancer diagnosis can be very confusing and you may feel overwhelmed by worries, fear, or self-criticism. This video shows some common reactions to receiving a diagnosis and reminds us that these are normal, human responses to an existential threat, and it won’t feel this way forever.
Feeling guilty or ashamed
In these videos we explore challenges that can arise in the relationship between patients and their treating team. Taking control and expressing your needs can be difficult when we are overwhelmed by a major life event, so remember that it is your healthcare journey and it’s ok to let your team know if you need something different from them.
Recognising when we are anxious
Anxiety is a normal part of having a serious illness. In order to manage anxiety, we need to know how to recognise it.
Anxiety Part I
When we are struggling with fear and uncertainty, we can create a negative filter through which we see only bad things. Part 1 and part 2 of this video explores how fear affects the way we understand and approach the difficulties we face when we have a serious illness and offers some ideas to challenge your patterns of thinking and behaviour.
Anxiety Part II
When we are struggling with fear and uncertainty, we can create a negative filter through which we see only bad things. Part 1 and part 2 of this video explores how fear affects the way we understand and approach the difficulties we face when we have a serious illness and offers some ideas to challenge your patterns of thinking and behaviour.
Techniques for managing anxiety
This video introduces simple techniques for managing anxiety using a combination of breathing techniques, sensory grounding, and progressive muscle relaxation.
Living Meaningfully
It can be difficult to think about getting on with ‘normal life’ while we struggle with the anxiety and stress that comes with a serious physical illness. This video shows us that by using simple techniques to regulate stress levels physiologically and psychologically, as well as working with a counsellor, it is possible to live meaningfully alongside cancer.
Worrying about cancer returning
Remission from cancer is supposed to be a time of celebration, but for many people the fear of cancer coming back has a long-term effect on their mental wellbeing and ability to move forward. This video reminds us that these reactions are common and understandable, and that help is available.
