#280 A Firefighters Battle with Cancer with Steve "Robbie" Burns
from Firefighter Podcast · host Pete Wakefield
Steven ‘Robbie’ Burns, Watch Manager in the UKFRS shares his very personal cancer journey with cancer. In January of 2012, he first noticed blood in his urine. After a quick ‘Google’ he reassured himself that this was due to the distance running. He ignored this first warning sign. Eight months on, Robbie experienced another episode. Upon consulting a different doctor, he was referred, on the same day where a Cystoscopy revealed a huge, coral-like growth attached to his bladder wall. He was told it was an aggressive cancer and that there would be a ‘journey’ ahead.Link mentionedSNOMED CTWe only feature the latest 200 episodes of the podcast on public platforms so to access our podcast LIBRARY with every episode ever made & also get access to every Debrief & Subject Matter expert document shard with us then join our PATREON crew and support the future of the podcast by clicking HEREA big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyHAIX FootwearGRENADERIP INTOLyfe Linez - Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydrated and for firefighters this cost lives, worsens our long term health and reduces cognitive ability.Send us Fan MailSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.
