Yeah, and do you know what?
Sometimes I'm like, is that just my family telling me that?
I'm like, nobody's going to tell me anything, anything bad.
But yeah, people have got in touch and they've let me know how grasping the story was, which is lovely.
And it's a testament to Cliona's ability to get... Cliona Foley, who wrote the book with you.
Cliona's followed my career as a sports journalist.
And I think...
It was a really beautiful moment that we came together to write this book.
I love that Cliona was there throughout all of that.
So she knew the intimacy of the sport, but she probably didn't really necessarily get to know me.
And she was wonderful.
She was there for me throughout this whole book journey, nearly as a therapist as much as a co-author.
But she did a phenomenal job because everybody tells me my voice comes across well in the story and in the book.
And that's like it's a testament to her fantastic writing ability.
It's been interesting because I feel for the people who are interviewing me because it's very raw for you that you're reading the story and suddenly noise, probably the first time that maybe people are grasping that it's stage four.
And I know that early doors, many people probably thought it's an early stage.
That's what I hoped myself at my initial diagnosis.
I've been processing it for a long time.
So I think people are surprised at how candidly and how open I am with discussing the depths of this chemo journey and this cancer journey.
But listen, me and my family have been having the really dark days throughout this past year of processing that.
