  • Episode 10 - My Craniotomy Diary Pt.6 - How my diagnosis affected our daughters
    Aug 21 2023

    In my podcast I have so far only focused on events from my perspective but when our daughter Charlotte visited the UK from New Zealand I took the chance to interview her and our other daughter Rebecca on the rare occasion that I had them both together.


    We chat about the impact of my diagnosis on them and how our quiet steady lives were totally disrupted by a brain tumour diagnosis. I found it very moving to hear what they felt and went through.
