00:05It's 2022, it's England, I'm 43, I'm a mum, I'm married, I've got two kids aged 10 and 4

00:12and I've always been vegetarian since I was a child. What's different about me is I'm extremely single-minded.

00:18I'm a lawyer, I'm educated, I went to King's College London, Worcester College Oxford, University of Columbia in New York.

00:25I'm very lucky because I've got a very supportive employer while I'm off sick from my demanding and fantastic job that I love.

00:36I've got amazing health insurance, I've got access to the best doctors.

00:41So what's happened on the 10th of May, which was less than 90 days ago, I started to suffer chest and upper back pain.

00:47I had an ultrasound and in hospital and from the first ultrasound the doctors were like, this might be serious.

00:58And so it proved to be because I've been, I've got pancreatic cancer, which is already pretty bad.

01:08But then on top of that, I also have a, the cancer is sarcoma in my pancreas and that's still not yet fully diagnosed,

01:20but it's basically like having cancer cubed.

01:25So I have one of the most aggressive cancers they've ever seen.

01:29So why this channel?

01:31Since the original identification of a problem, it has metastasised.

01:40So I now have stage four metastatic cancer and I don't accept that it's incurable.

01:48And there is a difference between science and medicine.

01:54And basically medicine is telling me to have chemo and go off and die quietly.

02:02And they aren't even trying to fix me.

02:04They're just trying to stop it growing.

02:07And anyone that already knows me knows that's not me.

02:11And I'm going to see my kids grow up.

02:14So.

02:15This channel will document how I'm going to do this and the journey that I'm on and what I'm learning,

02:24which is basically having to become a scientist and what works and what doesn't.

02:29And I've totally changed everything about my life and there is more to come.

02:36So click on subscribe or like to come on the journey with me.

02:41And I'd love to find others here in the same situation.

02:45Bye.
