A podcast about positivity for people diagnosed with brain tumours. It sounds a grim subject but not every tumour diagnosis ends in tragedy (sadly still too many do) and I wanted to offer some positivity to anyone’s newly diagnosed and maybe inspire them to stay positive. I want to share my story and how I found ways to fight my way through this huge challenge with humour and optimism. I try to explain the hospital and surgery experienceI. Sharing information on resources available to 'Brain Tumour Warriors', support groups and charities that can help you.

    Episode 15 - Buried With Ham

    Being male, it should come as no surprise that brain tumours were not my first near death experience, doing dumb shit was. In this episode I look at how having a near death experience changes your outlook on life and what things are really important to you.

    Episode 10 - My Craniotomy Diary Pt.6 - How my diagnosis affected our daughters

    In my podcast I have so far only focused on events from my perspective but when our daughter Charlotte visited the UK from New Zealand I took the chance to interview her and our other daughter Rebecca on the rare occasion that I had them both together. We chat about the impact of my diagnosis on them and how our quiet steady lives were totally disrupted by a brain tumour diagnosis. I found it very moving to hear what they felt and went through.
