16. Brian Penfold: Look Forward
Inspire-Ability Episode 16
In the third of four episodes in conversation with Brian Penfold, Harriett discusses how life changed following his life-changing diagnosis with an incurable form of leukaemia. We then hear how Brian received a further setback with another “buy one get one free” diagnosis a few years later, when a routine blood check up indicated an unrelated cancer in his prostate.
Few of us will face these personal health difficulties, however Brian offers his coping mechanisms and discusses the importance of a pragmatic response when receiving these diagnoses. We also hear how important it is to be aware of your own body and its changes, and not to be embarrassed by any possible stigma around the prostate and sexual functions.
Brian is a passionate supporter of the Prostate Cancer UK charity, and if you have been affected by anything in this episode and are seeking advice or support, you can find it at prostatecanceruk.org
