David Downs, author of 'A Mild Touch of the Cancer', joins Jo and Sue on this inspiring episode.

Back in 2017, David was living an ordinary life in a regular neighbourhood with his wife and three boys. Life changed drastically overnight when after a month-long battle, with what David thought was a touch of the 'mild flu', was indeed diagnosed as a significant dose of cancer.

David immediately started on his treatment plan with a large dose of optimism, but along the way, listened to his odds of survival drop from 80%, to 25% to then just 5%. And when all treatments were exhausted in NZ, he had the opportunity to travel to America to be part of a CAR T-cell therapy trial - which thankfully, was a huge success.

Cancer is a scary diagnosis for anyone, and often people go through the stages of the SARAH model, Shock, Anger, Resistance, Acceptance, then Hope/Healing.

David believes the 'C' word is not a taboo and should not to be whispered, therefore he talks 'loudly' and 'proudly' of Cancer.

Join Jo, Sue and David as they chat mindset and techniques to  help face and get through the challenging and darkest of moments.

David shares his 3 step self-warming technique that involves Anticipation, Realisation and Reflection - a tool we can all use to enhance our everyday lives.
