You can make lifestyle choices that will help mitigate against getting cancer.

But ultimately, it is random and it is just as random as a plane falling out of the sky.

And that's what it is.

Yeah.

But that actually helps, doesn't it?

It massively helped me.

Yeah, yeah.

It massively helped me coming away that day to go... Because you were fighting against something that... Yeah, I was.

And I couldn't understand why.

And it really made me... I really struggled with that.

And that day I left there and I thought, I remember walking, because I lived really close, I was renting quite nearby actually at the time and I remember walking home to the house and I was probably walking down to the house, it was in like June or July and I was probably crying walking along the road.

But I remember it was the first time I actually went, oh, okay, this is just like your number's been pulled out and winning the lotto.

No, this is just random.

This is totally random.

And I actually, in a weird way, I got massive comfort from that.

Massive comfort from it.

And the other little anecdote I tell you, and again, now having, you know, been presenting the show for the past six years and, like, when people hear the word cancer and I understand why they absolutely, you know, like, shit themselves and everything that comes with that when they hear that.

Yeah.

But the best description I got from another doctor when people talk about being afraid of chemotherapy and, you know, being afraid of what comes with it was that it was described to me one day as if you have a tumor in your body, we, you know, first, first, I suppose, step is to go in and operate and to remove the tumor.

Mm hmm.
