Three fantastic guests share their unique, very personal, stories of cancer with us. We start with a giant in the Australian oncology world – Professor Grant McArthur who is director of the VCCC. We hear from our friend Mark Lewis from the US who shares his experiences as a physician-patient who has multiple neuroendocrine neoplasia type 1. He is an avid Twitter user and even live tweeted his Whipple surgical procedure in 2017.We close this special episode with an incredibly poignant and moving interview with Heidi Probst, Professor of Radiotherapy and Oncology at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. In 2018 Heidi was diagnosed with stage 2b breast cancer and underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This experience has had a profound effect on her work. Thank you to Grant, Mark and Heidi for trusting us with these personal experiences.
