Scott Mitchell was with his partner and wife, Dame Barbara Windsor, for 27 years. They went public with the news of her Alzheimer's in 2018. Today, he's the People's Champion for the government-funded "Dame Barbara Windsor Dementia Mission," and an Ambassador for Alzheimer's Research UK. You'll hear about his work and their life together, and their meeting with the then Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

Scott shares some vital advice on the how to tell someone you're concerned about their memory, and how to process and cope with a dementia diagnosis.

Plus, despite significant advances, many forms of leukaemia remain challenging to treat.

Geoff Thomas, the former footballer, captained Crystal Palace at the 1990 FA Cup final and earned nine caps for England. He was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia in 2003 and given just three months to live.

He's since raised millions for charity and launched The Geoff Thomas Foundation. In 2005, he was awarded the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year, Helen Rollason Award.

Also, this week, news about a university study into ageing and some thoughts on living a long, resilient, and healthy life.
