00:08I know it's a bit overwhelming. How could you possibly know? Are you stuck in a wheelchair wondering if you're
00:13ever going to walk again?
00:14Remy's bad mood has nothing to do with you. He isn't well, and right now he is going through the
00:20side effects of radiation treatment.
00:22I haven't had low vision in days. The pins and eagles are settling down. This has got to mean that
00:27the tumor is shrinking.
00:28Yeah, I really hope so.
00:31Remy? Remy?
00:37I think I might have felt my leg move. How do I know if it was real?
00:40Why don't we do some arms?
00:43Nothing?
00:47I guess it was just a little mad then.
00:54The reason you're still having seizures is because the tumor has grown significantly larger. I'm sorry. Radiotherapy isn't working.
01:05I'm always on patrol, mate, and you're not here to get a suntan. Now, come on off your go.
01:09I've got a bone to pick with you.
01:10Hey, this is about scrubbing that iron skillet.
01:12Oh, no, no, no. She's over that. Now. But she hasn't stopped raving about the lamb you cooked last night.
01:19Really?
01:19You're showing me up in my own home, mate.
01:22My pleasure. Well, Pete, I am the lamb king.
01:27Surely you must be missing your own bed, though. Have you had any luck finding a tradie?
01:31As a matter of fact, I have. I'm waiting on a quote from some bloke I met yesterday.
01:35Great!
01:35Yeah, apparently his prices are much more reasonable than the other rip-off merchants around.
01:39Even better, you should chase that R. Rookie error. Never let them think you're desperate.
01:44You are desperate. You've got no plumbing.
01:47John! I was hoping to see you.
01:49Well, that's always nice to hear. How's things?
01:52It's not great, honestly. Um, are you busy today?
01:55Pretty as a bird.
01:55Um, shouldn't you be looking for a tradie?
01:58I'm in no rush.
01:59Really? I was hoping maybe you could drop Sunny back to rehab. I'm stuck working all day.
02:03It would be my absolute pleasure.
02:05Oh, great! Thank you.
02:07Here, let me help with that.
02:08Oh, thank you.
02:10Awesome.
02:16Could your day get any better? Your rideshare has arrived.
02:21Sorry.
02:22Eden's enlisted me to run you back to the rehab.
02:25Oh, come on. It's not that bad, is it?
02:27I'll let you choose the music.
02:29Uh, I've actually decided to stay here another night and spend some more time at Remy.
02:34Mm-hmm.
02:36And where's he?
02:37Out.
02:41And what's this doing here?
02:44Oh, I was trying to tidy up the kitchen and I just sort of gave up.
02:48I'm a pretty lousy house guest.
02:52Come on, son. I'd even come down in the last shower.
02:59Uh-huh.
03:03Excellent.
03:04Ah, I wouldn't.
03:06Perfect. I appreciate it.
03:09See you, sir.
03:10Bye.
03:12Good news.
03:14So, an old colleague of mine, top neurosurgeon, has just agreed to see you today.
03:20What happened to the doctor I was saying?
03:23He's on holiday.
03:24But, uh, don't worry, my colleague's the best you can get.
03:28Remy, this is really lucky.
03:31Lucky?
03:34She's just returned from an institute in Copenhagen.
03:36She's usually impossible to get into at short notice.
03:38Don't sugarcoat it.
03:40I'm not lucky. I'm worse off now than I was before the radiation.
03:43Which is why we just need to move to the next stage.
03:46Oh, you mean hacking at my brain?
03:48Hey, operating was always a part of this.
03:49It was just a matter of when, not if.
03:51So, we just need to operate sooner than we thought.
03:53No.
03:54I know that you're anxious.
03:56Hey, listen, listen. I came in for the scans, not to see your hotshot mate.
03:59Can you just give her a chance?
04:06I've been trying to see if I can make it happen again.
04:08Levi said it's possible, but I've been trying to do the test on myself,
04:11which obviously doesn't work because I know it's coming.
04:13Yes, but what if you imagined it? What if your leg didn't move?
04:16Well, that's what I'm trying to find out.
04:18And so, can you help me?
04:20Mate, I'm not a doctor.
04:22So?
04:23So, I don't know what I'm doing.
04:25No, it's easy, mate. What you do is you hit me on the leg,
04:28and if it moves, it moves. I'll show you.
04:29Yeah, look, just say I do this, and your leg moves,
04:33and I haven't done the test properly, then you're full of false hope.
04:36Or even worse, your leg doesn't move, and then you lose all hope.
04:39Okay, but please, John.
04:41You, of all people, understand what a lifeline this could be, don't you?
04:47I understand how difficult this new reality is to accept.
04:50Listen, can you help me or not, John?
04:56Ah, you're avoiding going home, eh, mate?
05:00Can't say I blame you. I heard Palmer's moved into your joint.
05:02Just until the repairs are done at his place.
05:06John's still shopping around for a quote he likes.
05:08Course he is.
05:10He's gonna have to accept a price eventually, right?
05:12Don't bet on it.
05:14And don't say I didn't warn you.
05:20Oh, Remy.
05:23Has this surgeon shown up yet?
05:27Yeah, okay, I will go look for him now.
05:29Did you say where he was going?
05:30Just let me know when you find him, okay?
05:32Thanks.
05:35Cindy.
05:36Hi.
05:37Good to see you. How was Copenhagen?
05:39No idea. Barely left the hospital.
05:41Still a workhorse, I see.
05:43You haven't changed a bit.
05:44In a good way, I mean.
05:46How did you get involved in this case?
05:48Your cardiac arrest?
05:49Well, not anymore. I moved to the ED.
05:51Why on earth did you do that?
05:53Just wanted something different.
05:55Why?
05:57Well, doing the same thing day in, day out.
05:59Gets old after a while, you know what it's like.
06:01No.
06:02Tell me about this tumor.
06:04Yeah, well, let's head to my office.
06:06I'll show you some scans.
06:07No, I don't have time for that.
06:07Just take me straight to the patient.
06:08You can brief me on the way.
06:10Here's the thing.
06:11I lost the patient.
06:12Dead?
06:13No.
06:15Just gone.
06:33Hey.
06:37Levi told me about the scans.
06:40I'm so sorry, Rem.
06:42It's not your fault.
06:44Sucks.
06:47Levi's worried about you.
06:49So am I.
06:50Worrying's not going to change everything.
06:52No.
06:54Surgery could.
06:55And apparently you've got a top neurosurgeon coming to see you.
06:59I know.
07:01So what's going on?
07:03What are you doing here instead of the hospital?
07:08It wasn't meant to go this way.
07:13The tumor was supposed to be smaller, not bigger.
07:17The surgery was dangerous before.
07:19It's even worse now.
07:23I know that you're scared.
07:27But you...
07:29You chose to fight this.
07:33You have to keep going.
07:38How about you and I go and talk to the surgeon together?
07:43Just hear what she has to say.
08:00You ready?
08:03No.
08:13I'm glad you changed your mind.
08:16I'm a great 20 to get.
08:19Is the neurosurgeon here?
08:21She is.
08:22She's the best.
08:24World class.
08:25Okay.
08:26Let's go talk to her.
08:29Come on.
08:32Hey, before we do go in there, probably worth mentioning, Dr. Swan can be a bit odd.
08:38What do you mean, odd?
08:39It's hard to explain.
08:39Just try to focus on what she's saying, not how she's saying.
08:42You're really filling me with confidence, isn't that?
08:47Remy, this is Dr. Swan.
08:49Cindy, this is...
08:50Remy Carter.
08:52I've been getting to know your tumor.
08:56Okay.
08:58And you are...
09:00Eden, hi.
09:02Partner?
09:02Friend.
09:04And my sister.
09:05Right.
09:06We really appreciate you coming at such short notice, Dr. Swan.
09:10Do you?
09:12Because generally when people ask for my medical opinion, they don't run away.
09:16Sorry about that.
09:17He was just taking a quick breather.
09:19Of course we understand you're under a lot of stress right now.
09:22No wonder.
09:24You have one of the most aggressive brain tumors I've ever seen.
09:26I'd be stressed too.
09:28Which is why we're here to talk about treatment options.
09:30Not that you have many.
09:32At all.
09:48Oh, look, you might as well go home, John, if you're not going to help me.
09:51No, look, hear me out, will you?
09:53I called you rehab people.
09:54Oh, great.
09:55Well, apparently I can't make matters worse by doing this.
09:58But you have to understand, I don't know what I'm doing.
10:02So whatever the result here, you have to follow it up with your rehab people.
10:05Yeah?
10:06Yep.
10:06Yeah, I will.
10:07I will, I promise.
10:08But you'll do it, yeah?
10:09Well, if it's going to help you out, of course I will.
10:12You know I used to play the spoons in the Navy.
10:14I doubt it, John.
10:16Yeah.
10:17Okay.
10:19Just...
10:19Very simple.
10:20Just tap me on the leg anywhere, but don't tell me when you're going to do it.
10:22Righto, righto, righto.
10:23Close your eyes.
10:24Okay.
10:30I can feel it!
10:36Hey, you hadn't started yet.
10:42So what you're saying is that surgery is my only option?
10:45Yes.
10:46Anything else would be a waste of time.
10:48Oh, couldn't you do a biopsy first?
10:50What if the tumour isn't cancerous?
10:51It doesn't matter if it is or not.
10:53It's growing.
10:54Fast.
10:56Dr. Swan's right.
10:57Soon it'll take up too much space in your brain and your critical functions will be affected.
11:02They'll be more than affected.
11:03They will outright fail.
11:04We're talking breathing, heart rate.
11:06Yeah, I get it.
11:06No, I don't think you do.
11:08The risks of surgery are nothing compared to the danger and damage that tumour is causing you right now.
11:14Okay, so you go in there and you cut it out and then it's done, right?
11:18It's not quite that simple.
11:20The surgery is complex because of the tumour's position.
11:23But you can do it, right?
11:25Of course I can do it.
11:26But the risk of complications is significant.
11:29You'd be in the safest hands with Dr. Swan.
11:32Oh, sorry.
11:33This whole conversation is pointless.
11:36No offence.
11:36Nante.
11:37I have heard all this before.
11:39This surgery could mess me up.
11:41Which is why I recommend we mitigate the risks by performing awake surgery.
11:47Uh, sorry.
11:48Awake surgery?
11:49I would operate on Remy while he was still fully conscious.
11:56There you go, mate.
11:57Thanks.
11:58Hey, maybe you were right.
12:01Maybe you just didn't do the test correctly.
12:04Yeah, yeah, mate.
12:04Maybe I didn't.
12:08But let's think, just for a second, maybe I did.
12:14What if you never regained feeling in your legs again?
12:17How would you feel about that?
12:21Well, how would you think I'd feel?
12:23But you could still lead a rich and fulfilling life.
12:27Like your son?
12:28Yes.
12:29Yes.
12:29He's married.
12:30He's got a job.
12:31He travels the world.
12:32He's got lots of friends.
12:34And I'm pretty sure there's a lot of other stuff he doesn't tell his old man about.
12:37This is not a done deal.
12:39We don't know if this is going to be permanent.
12:41Okay?
12:41So why should I be acting like it is?
12:43Yeah.
12:43So I got carried away.
12:44And do you have any idea how it feels to have no idea what's happening?
12:48All right?
12:49Where no one can tell you what's going on, you've got no answers.
12:52All right?
12:52And then something like this happens and you think, maybe.
12:55You know, just, just maybe.
12:57Yeah.
12:57I know.
12:58You should never give up hope while there's a chance of recovery.
13:03Are you nuts?
13:04No.
13:05You wouldn't be able to feel a thing.
13:07You'd just be lying there in a secured head frame while I do all the work.
13:10You mean while you drill into my skull?
13:13No.
13:13For that bit, you'd be unconscious.
13:15What a relief.
13:16But when I remove the tumor, you'd be awake.
13:19And won't I be able to hear everything you're doing?
13:21The beauty of you being awake is that I can monitor your cognitive and motor functions while I operate.
13:28How exactly?
13:30Well, get you to talk.
13:32Ask you to perform a few simple tasks with your hands.
13:34That way I can be sure I'm not poking anything I shouldn't be poking.
13:39It happens.
13:40Not often with Dr. Swan's impressive record.
13:45Okay.
13:46I get that this sounds really creepy.
13:49Yeah, no kidding.
13:50But it could be a good option.
13:52You know, you were worried about the complications, not being yourself, not being able to play the guitar.
13:56You play the guitar?
13:57Are you any good?
13:59He's amazing.
14:00Fantastic.
14:01Bring it with you.
14:03You can serenade the theatre team.
14:06Are you serious?
14:06Yeah.
14:07While my brain is being cut open.
14:09That way I can ensure your motor functions stay intact.
14:24Ah!
14:25You're off to put a fire under Palmer, eh?
14:28Nah.
14:29Just gonna take my stuff home, grab my board and go for another serve.
14:32Well, don't let him get comfortable.
14:34That bloke will take a free ride wherever he can get it.
14:36Yeah.
14:36Right.
14:37I'm pretty sure I got it under control.
14:39If you say so.
14:40Well, speak of the donkey.
14:42Hey!
14:43How'd you go dropping Sonny back at rehab?
14:45Oh, I didn't get around to it, actually.
14:47Why?
14:49Long story.
14:50Did you get a chance to talk to that tradie about the repairs?
14:53No, yeah.
14:54Why?
14:57I'm overstaying my wealth.
14:58John, it's not like that.
15:00I really get it.
15:01I know.
15:02House guests and fish.
15:03They go off after three days.
15:05You're right.
15:06Say no more.
15:07I'll do the repair myself.
15:08Well, isn't that how you got into this mess in the first place?
15:12Much more experienced now.
15:13Don't be a flyman galah Palmer.
15:15Get someone who knows what they're doing.
15:17Can't stay and chat.
15:18And don't worry about dinner for me tonight.
15:20Justin, I'll be working late.
15:24What kind of psychopath came up with the idea of being awake anyway?
15:27Before the discovery of anaesthesia,
15:30most people were awake during surgery
15:31and they felt absolutely everything.
15:34So, historically speaking, you're very fortunate.
15:37Yes, very reassuring.
15:38So I will look at my schedule
15:40and we will get you on the table as soon as we can.
15:42Hang on.
15:43I haven't agreed to anything.
15:45Excuse me?
15:46It's a lot to consider.
15:48You don't have time.
15:49Look, why doesn't Remy take the night to think about it
15:52and get back to us with a decision tomorrow?
15:55Fine.
15:58Choose wisely.
16:00Thanks.
16:10You're in.
16:13All good.
16:14All good.
16:14I'm getting someone to take me back tomorrow.
16:17Thanks.
16:19Yep.
16:19See you soon.
16:33Hey.
16:34Good to see you home.
16:38What happened to going back to rehab?
16:40Well, I thought I'd stick around and see how you went.
16:43The, uh, the radiotherapy didn't work.
16:46The tumour's growing.
16:48Oh, man.
16:49Yeah.
16:50Levi's pulled some major strings
16:52to get an excellent neurosurgeon on his case.
16:56Well, we'll pay snow people in high places, eh?
16:59Oh, you think this is a good thing, do you?
17:00Remy.
17:00Depends. What did the surgeon say?
17:02She said, I'm screwed.
17:03Unless we get this thing cut out of my head.
17:05Which she is prepared to do
17:07as soon as he decides whether he wants the surgery or not.
17:10Hey, then what are you waiting for?
17:10Rack off.
17:11Both of you.
17:23Mate, you shouldn't be drinking right now.
17:25It's not going to make things any worse.
17:26Put that away.
17:27Come sit down.
17:28So you two can lecture me?
17:29No.
17:30Remy, this is a huge decision.
17:32Yeah, for me to make.
17:33No one else.
17:35Go to my room.
17:37Mate, are you kidding me at all?
17:39Alright, did you have any idea how ungrateful you're being?
17:42At least you have an option.
17:43Okay, let's all just take a break.
17:44If surgery had the slightest chance of getting me on my feet again,
17:47I'd do it.
17:48You couldn't kid me away from that operating theatre.
17:50It's not that simple.
17:51Then explain it to me, alright?
17:52Or you could just shut me out again because you'd think I can't handle it.
17:55Sonny, go ahead.
17:55No, no, no, no, no.
17:56He needs to hear this, alright?
17:57Here I am with no options.
17:59None.
18:00And there you are just throwing yours away.
18:01Do you have any idea how frustrating that is for me?
18:06You have no idea what this feels like.
18:08None.
18:09Neither of you do.
18:23Am I safe to approach or are you gonna bite my head off too?
18:28Yeah.
18:29I went a little bit hard on him, didn't I?
18:32You had to know that he was gonna go off, but you kept pushing him.
18:36Why?
18:36Yeah, why stand by everything that I said?
18:38It is frustrating.
18:40We both know that he has no choice.
18:43But he has to have the operation.
18:45Yes.
18:47Yep, we both do know that.
18:49Good.
18:52What was it really about?
18:56I know it's stupid, but for a minute there I thought I could feel my legs.
19:12I think it's time that I have to truly accept.
19:17You know that...
19:20That this is my life.
19:33That's okay.
19:34I'll catch up with you later.
19:37Love you.
19:38Bye.
19:44Don't even stop.
19:49I don't blame you.
19:50I've had a hell of a day anyone would need to take the edge off.
19:54Cheers to that.
20:01Yeah, I guess I owe you a thank you.
20:04Why's that?
20:06Look, Dr Swannup.
20:07You're right, she's got an incredible rep.
20:11She's by far the best surgeon you could have on your case.
20:14Yeah, I know I should feel lucky, but I don't.
20:23What if I come out of this surgery and I'm not myself anymore?
20:27I'm not talking about playing guitar or riding a bike.
20:34If I can't feed myself or go to the toilet, I don't want to live like that.
20:47I understand you're scared.
20:50I may be blunt with you, Remy.
20:52The size...
20:55And the rate in which that tumour is growing.
21:00You'll be gone in a month.
21:08The inescapable weak.
21:11Will she escape his obsession?
21:14Get out!
21:17Will he escape with his life?
21:20Surgery could mess me up.
21:21Am I a rival or friend?
21:25And his escape will lead us to a river boy.
21:29Why should I stick my neck out for you?
21:31Someone won't survive the week.
21:34Every day I fight!
21:35It's all leading to the biggest event of the decade.
21:39Brax and Ricky are back on Home and Away.
21:42Hope you know what you're doing.
21:44Yeah, me too.
21:45Next week on Seven.
