Very sobering to listen to a figure like Peter Wright open up about his fear and anxiety following his cancer diagnosis.

Excellent pod this one and I guess a wake-up call for us middle-aged men.

Tough listen. But shows what happens when you go and get a check up. Great outcome for the big guy. Hope it sparks others to go and see someone and saves lives. I went thinking I had a stomach cancer turns out I had another cancer, myeloma. But itโ€™s now in remission. My advice, get it checked.
