Louise White sits in for Kaye Adams and asks listeners for their experiences of dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

We're looking for your experience of dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Latest figures show that 11 out of 14 of Scotland's health boards are not hitting the target for treating patients urgently referred with a suspicion of cancer. So what has been you or your loved ones experience of going through the most stressful of experiences?
