514 - THE KING OF CHEMO - 1 Year Left To Live After Accidental Brain Cancer Diagnosis

514 - THE KING OF CHEMO - 1 Year Left To Live After Accidental Brain Cancer Diagnosis

In today’s incredibly honest and refreshingly light-hearted interview with The King of Chemo, we delve into the life of the very funny irishman Iain Ward who shares his unexpected journey into the world of terminal cancer after a somewhat random and accidental diagnosis under pretty rare circumstances. From the initial diagnosis, to being kept awake during actual brain surgery, Iain has shown nothing but unrelenting grit to not only personally make the most of what time he has left - but to help inspire millions of others along the way too as he discusses his phenomenal fitness feats with Jaack & Stevie. Terminal cancer might have dramatically cut Iain’s life expectancy down, but it won’t stop him as he aims to break the world record for most money raised through running marathons. Today’s podcast is not all about Iain’s medical ordeal but also about the psychological journey, his fears, aspirations, priorities, uncertainty, and ultimately, his incredibly profound outlook on life. Iain's response to his diagnosis has been nothing short of inspirational. Instead of succumbing to despair, he channeled his energy into helping others, helping aid charities that support cancer research and provide comfort to those also battling the disease. Iain also chats with Jaack about Jaack’s health anxiety. It’s no secret that Iain’s diagnosis would be Jaack’s worst nightmare - a lifelong fear of his. So we ask Iain, is it silly, or perhaps even offensive, for Jaack to worry about something that is not directly effecting him? What is Iain’s opinion on health anxiety? Does Iain want a girlfriend? To get married? To have kids? Has his relationship with material things changed? Does he value money more or less? Has he planned his funeral? The boys ask questions they’d usually be too scared to ask somebody with terminal cancer, but Iain’s openness, warmth and jovial outlook lends itself to a raw honesty that made for an incredibly open interview. We hope that this episode is not only a testament to Iain Ward's personal journey but also serves as a beacon of hope and action for listeners who are experiencing similar struggles. Through his story, we learn about the unpredictability of life, the importance of giving back, and the unexpected curveballs that life can throw at us. Iain’s online alias may be The King Of Chemo, but all of us at Happy Hour think he might actually just be The King. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
