My Story, My Purpose
When I was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer, I didn’t ask “why me?”—I asked, “what now?” That moment of clarity led to Stronger Than Cancer | The Podcast, a space for real conversations, honest stories, and connection for those navigating the cancer journey. This blog is where I’ll share my own experiences, lessons, and the powerful voices I meet along the way.
The Day We Never Knew We Needed
On 23 March, my wife’s birthday turned into something far greater—we renewed our vows surrounded by family, love, and a depth of emotion I never expected. What started as a day I wasn’t sure I had the energy to plan, became a memory we’ll hold onto forever. It reminded me that even in uncertain times, joy still finds a way in. And sometimes, the most meaningful days are the ones you didn’t plan at all.
The Secret Door of Love and Overwhelm
On 6 December 2024, I was diagnosed with stage four incurable bowel cancer. It changed everything—but not in the way I expected. As I shared my diagnosis, something incredible happened: love and support poured in from every direction, breaking through an invisible ceiling I never knew existed. People from all corners of my life reached out, reminding me just how much I mattered. This journey has shown me that love runs deeper than we often realise—we just need to open that door before life forces it open for us.
