A life on hold : Our stories with cancer

"It's not that far-fetched." 12 years ago, when Olfa learned she had cancer, she was not surprised. It was as if she already knew, "instinctively". Emna, diagnosed last year, agrees. "The body knows.”

“Ça n’arrive pas qu’aux autres”. Il y a 12 ans, quand Olfa a appris qu’elle était atteinte d’un cancer, elle n’a pas été surprise. Comme si elle le savait déjà, “instinctivement”. Emna, diagnostiquée l’année dernière, abonde en son sens. “Le corps sait”.
Au micro d’inkyfada podcast, ces deux femmes échangent et racontent comment le cancer a suspendu leur vie pendant quelque temps, et comment il ne les a jamais vraiment quittées depuis.
"هذا لا يحدث للآخرين فقط". قبل 12 عاما شُخّصت ألفة بالسرطان، لكنها لم تتفاجأ لذلك كما لو كانت تعرف مسبقا، كما لو أن "حدسها" أخبرها. توافقها في ذلك الرأي آمنة التي اكتشفت مرضها مؤخرا العام الماضي، "فالجسد يعرف"...
أمام ميكروفون إنكفاضة، تتحادث المرأتان وتخبراننا عن السرطان الذي علّق حياتهما لفترة من الوقت، وكيف لم يتركهما أبدا منذ ذلك الحين.

Every year, during the whole month of October, a campaign of mobilization around cancer is organized, to testify, tell, and raise awareness - sometimes awkwardly - to the risks of the disease and the importance of screening.

On this occasion, Inkyfada Podcast wanted to give the floor to people who have experienced this disease. Olfa and Emna both have had cancer: the first one a Hodgkin's (a form of cancer of the lymphatic system), the second one a breast cancer.

On the mic of inkyfada podcast, these two women talk about how cancer interrupted their lives for a while, and how it has never really left them since.

For more than an hour, they discuss their respective experiences and share their stories. They talk about the importance of the medical profession, the relationship with their loved ones and the importance of acceptance and self-image.

ABOUT

Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab.
Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert.
Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience.
Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process.
In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity.
These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand.
Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
