Even the bad times are good

11/24/23 • 29 min

It's a bright and cheerful Podcast today thank you for joining us.
Martin is full of beans today as he describes his recent visit to the hospital and discusses the results from a recent scan on his Stage 4 Lung Cancer. It is always a fearful time for any patient to visit the Oncologist to receive results but this time there is some good news.
Martin also goes on to discuss "Lung Drains" and his experience in detail, including fitting, management, fluid draining, and ongoing management.
We have some very interesting and unusual questions from our listeners this week and we try our best to answer all of these.
The TV show "I'm a Celebrity Get Me out of Here" has started and we discuss two of the Z list of celebrities.
Don't miss "Martins Joke of the Week"
We pay a little tribute to King Charles's 75th Birthday. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's invite was apparently snubbed by the pair.
A brief introduction to next week's exciting guests.

It's tough to Care

Send us a text

This is probably our hardest interview yet!
We invite into the studio our wives Lynnie and Wendy to discuss how they have dealt with our illness.
From the onset of a heart attack, Wendy describes how she took charge and got Patrick to the hospital herself rather than waiting for the emergency services. She describes how she felt then, how she feels today, and how she deals with Patrick's heart disease every day. How Heart Disease has affected the relationship, the changes that had to be made, and ongoing care.
The dreaded day Lynnie together with Martin received the news that he had been diagnosed with Stage four Lung Cancer. Lynnie describes her feelings at that news, and how she deals with the ongoing treatment and monitoring of Martins's condition. She expresses how angry she feels with the world and why it has happened to them, how they missed any signs of Stages 1,2 and 3, and how she feels out of control.
Both Women speak openly and honestly and with no holds barred, expressing in some cases for the first time the effect on them and the worry they carry on a daily basis, knowing there is no escape.
Please listen to this Podcast and appreciate how difficult it was to get our wives on the Podcast and to open up to both of us in this most unusual way.
There is a chance to hear "Martin's Joke of the Week" with a bonus at the end.
