It was a regular kind of afternoon. I was laying in my hospital bed, my hospital room there. I'd had a whole
00:00:06
range of different sort of tests and procedures in the days preceding this. And I guess I knew at that point that
00:00:11
something was was really wrong. I didn't know what it was. I didn't really expect
00:00:15
that it would be cancer either, but I did know that it was going to be bad, whatever it was. And so lady who I'd
00:00:20
never met before came into the room and she sat down on the bed beside me. She went on to explain just very slowly uh
00:00:27
very calmly that I had Yeah. Yeah, that I had cancer, that I had burkets, non-hodkkins, lymphoma, and explained
00:00:32
that at that stage [music] they'd found it through my uh brain lining, eye sockets, nasal passages, sinuses, gums,
00:00:37
jaw, spinal fluid, pancreas, and through both of of my kidneys. She sort of talked me through what the options were
00:00:44
in [music] in terms of treatment. I say options, it was sort of the option to have treatment or or not. For me, I was
00:00:49
always set on on having that treatment because, you know, in my head, there was no alternative other than than getting
00:00:54
through [music] it. If you didn't get treatment, the other option, how long how long do they
00:00:58
>> uh about about 2 weeks?
