00:00Any man who has to take their trousers down, obviously,

00:02and, you know, I mean, it's embarrassing enough,

00:04but I was in a hurry, so I did all of that behind the screen,

00:06and he said, trousers up, it's fine, and I said, it's been lovely,

00:08and he said, no, you've got cancer, you've got a lump.

00:10And so, 20 minutes later, I'm on my back and I'm being scanned,

00:14and you lie there and you think,

00:16jeez, um, and I had to go home.

00:19Were you scared? Terrified.

00:21The next day, I got to the hospital and, um...

00:26..I was on my own,

00:27and I remember walking down this corridor,

00:30and then this huge bloke opens the door.

00:32He was the anaesthetist. He was about 11 foot tall.

00:35He just collapsed into his arms and started crying,

00:37and I remember thinking, I'm dead.

00:40They did the operation and, um, 95% or 96% toxic,

00:45and it would have spread, so I was very lucky.

00:47And I remember waking up to this amazing nurse

00:50who stayed with me all night and held my hand. I was terrified.

00:53I thought if she went in the door, the light went out, that was it.

00:56I thought I was dead that night. I thought I was dead.
