Hi Gabe,
There's a very good article in this weekend's "Good Weekend" in the Saturday SMH. It's about Dr Chris O'Brien from RPA (hospital and the show), who has a brain tumour.
He was the director of The Sydney Cancer Centre, and also founded the Head and Neck Cancer Institute, also an Order of Australia. He's not that old (55), and only recently the American Head and Neck Society were honouring him by establishing The Christopher O'Brien Lecture. Terrible to go through what you're an expert of. But a good positive article, and after 3 craniotomies he's seems to be surviving. Positive thinking and a sense of humour definitely help.
Cheers!
