February 2013 was about stepping back into life—but realising it isn’t always that simple. In this chapter, I return to work for the first time since my diagnosis, reconnect with my team, and try to find a sense of norma

Christmas and New Year should have been a time to celebrate—but cancer doesn’t take a holiday. From missing out on simple things like a drink at Christmas, to the emotional weight of leaving 2012 behind, this chapter ref

December 2012. My stag do, a weekend in Weymouth, and one of the most honest conversations I’ve ever had. From laughs, alcohol, and chaos to fear, anger, and facing mortality—this episode captures it all, just months aft

Seven weeks after my diagnosis, I finally felt like I was making progress. My treatment was working, and for the first time, I was given a break from hospital appointments—something that felt like a huge win. But recover

In this episode, I break down my cancer journey into five raw emotions: Fight, Fear, Fairness, Hate & Anger, and Acceptance. When I was first diagnosed, my instinct was to fight — to beat it. But you can’t fight forever.

During one of the hardest chapters of my life, when most days were spent on the sofa with a cuppa and box sets, golf became part of my recovery. Out on the course with my mate Tom — and occasionally Stevo — I found space

This episode is all about those little moments that kept me sane during the madness of October 2012. From lunch catch-ups in Richmond Park with my skipper-turned-good-mate Marc, to a curry night that ended early (thanks

So, here’s a classic “Only bloody Kiwi” moment — I accidentally took half the dose of my Hydroxycarbamide meds for two weeks without realising. In this episode, I walk you through those early hospital visits at Hammersmi

Leaving hospital should feel like relief — but for me, it marked the moment everything became real. In this chapter, I talk about being discharged after my diagnosis, the mix-ups, the medication that would now keep me al

Up until this point, I’d been coping the only way I knew how — humour, sarcasm, and pretending I was fine. But there comes a moment where you can’t keep laughing, and you can’t keep ignoring how you really feel. In this

In this episode of The Lonely Road, I face two things I never expected to deal with while seriously ill in hospital freezing my sperm… and being weirdly excited about a machine that looks like it belongs in Star Trek. Be

Episode 10 takes you inside one of the most surreal days of my cancer journey. From being examined by a Professor and a group of nervous medical students — apparently my enlarged spleen was “textbook” — to turning my dia

The ward fills with visitors — friends, family, colleagues — and I find myself retelling the same story over and over, slowly learning to say the word cancer out loud. Explaining it to others somehow helps me cope, even

A warm welcome on an NHS ward contrasts sharply with the weight of what I’m about to be told. In a surprisingly “posh” hospital room, I’m diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia — a condition that once meant a death sen

A hospital transfer, a cannula in my arm, and a phone call that briefly made me forget where I was — even as I faced the possibility of leukaemia. A joke about missing Scout camp, a decision to fight, and an unexpected m

Episode 6 takes place in the waiting — the ward between answers. Surrounded by strangers fighting their own battles, I spend a restless night coming to terms with uncertainty, kindness from nurses, and conversations you

Episode 5 is the moment everything changes. After what feels like reassurance, doctors return with a different tone — and blood results that can’t be ignored. My white blood cell count is dangerously high, and suddenly t

Episode 4 of The Lonely Road drops me into Charing Cross A&E under police escort, surrounded by doctors, machines, and words I don’t yet understand. What follows is a haze of pain, fear, dark humour, and medical decision

Episode 3 reflects on the day I collapsed at work—and the shock of a moment that forced everything to stop. This episode isn’t about drama, but about what happens when your body intervenes before your mind is ready to li

In Episode 2 of The Lonely Road Podcast, I share the background behind The Lonely Road and the context in which it was written. I also offer a brief clarification around my drinking during that time, being clear and resp
