I'm Not Dying, I Just Have Cancer - Podcast

17/04/2020

FINAL EVER EPISODE!
This is it… the final chapter of the podcast!
I just want to start with a big thank you to everyone who has supported us through what has, for a lack of better words, been a s**t time!
This final podcast looks at the past few months, since finishing radiation.
It’s been pretty terrible really, but that just means there is plenty of ways for it to get better.
To find out if I still have cancer or not you need to listen to this podcast… or just read the title.
Only love in the comments.
As promised in the episode, here is a picture of Tess with an undercut, one of me just prior to cancer, one in the middle of it all and then one after!

Now I know everyone is excited for the last episode of I’m Not Dying out later today.
Did you know that if you listen to every episode of the podcast it would take you 3 hour and 29 minutes?
Wow, conveniently if you started right now, you could listen from start to finish and then have a minute to make a cup of tea before the final ever episode drops at 1700 today!

Are you ready for Radiation??

Well, this week you get to hear about the first 3 days (plus some pre-thoughts from the day before). Remember this is a diary, so it cuts through a couple of days.

Will talks in-depth and very openly about his experience, which you will come to learn is not what he expected at all.

Check out this cute photo of Will in his gown and getting zapped for the first time.

And remember, you can listen on ApplePodcasts (that purple app if you have an iPhone!) or Spotify (search 'Will Egan') or wherever you listen to Podcasts.

Hey! Have you listened to this week’s episode?
Its only TWO minutes, but it’s a very important 2 minutes! Why? Because it really helps to contextualise the upcoming radiation episodes which come out at the end of the week.
This ENTIRE podcast has been building up to the Radiation Saga (think Avengers, but instead of superheroes fighting aliens, it’s me fighting cancer), which is my daily diary of my treatment.

Here’s pic of me recording a podcast in my treatment mask.

It’s a mini-episode! Only 2 minutes.
We just wanted to describe the planning scan because it is talked about a bit.
It comes up in other episodes but didn’t really work to go in-depth about it there so it got its own episode.

Hi folks!

Have you been wanting to listen to our Podcast, but not sure where/how to do it?! ALSO, have you been wondering who we even ARE?!

This post answers both of those questions...

Firstly, we've made it super easy for you - just click the link below, and you'll find the full list of episodes! Plus, if you want to listen on Spotify or iTunes/Apple Podcasts, you can find the links to that there too:

https://www.rubytuesdayart.com/podcasts

We thoroughly recommend you start from the beginning and listen in chronological order - and stick with us, the episodes get better and better as we find our groove!

WHO ARE WE? We are this adorable family pictured (this pic was taken literally a year ago, it's hard to get a good family photo obviously, just imagine Will has less beard and the baby is twice the size...). We are Will and Tess, podcasting duo and so much more.

Will is a Registered Nurse/Diabetes Educator by day (but also by night because shift work), and writer and podcaster ALSO by night. Tess is a Social Worker and artist!

We have two kids, Oskar (the big one) and Freddy (the small one) and we are from Launceston, TAS.

This podcast is all about Will being diagnosed with lymphoma, and us dealing with it! It's a rollercoaster - you'll be laughing, crying and learning stuff all at once.

Have a listen, and if you like it subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts! A review wouldn't go astray either.

New episode has dropped! Listen to the process of finding out Will had cancer (spoiler alert: he did NOT have fun)

It takes a lot – a lot of tests and a lot of time - to get to a cancer diagnosis, I guess you wouldn’t want to get it wrong. Today’s podcast lists the extensive amount of procedures and tests Will went through to find out that he had lymphoma. But once he found out he had cancer, that’s when...

We tried to make a video for you...it didn't go very well. It was optimised for Insta stories, not Facebook - forgive us!

We are 100% better at podcasting than video.
