Reports in matters of this world are many, and our resources of mind for the discrimination of them very insufficient

I feel like awareness needs to grow. It's becoming a very common thing. I think we have a very strong NHS and healthcare system that needs more support through all this political nonsense that we're going through.

We need to hold onto that so that people can be told in the right way that they're going through these things [like tumors] early instead of discovering them late. Discovering important health news too late happens far too much.

I'm still quite small-minded and small-town, and people look at me like, "You're too famous to remember me." I want to give them a tap on the shoulder and thank them.

If I'm not busy I start twiddling my thumbs.

My tumour is a benign pituitary tumour, in the pituitary gland - which is the main hormone centre of the body. It's in the centre of the brain. (Fun fact, [Rene] Descartes thought our consciousness was to be found in the pituitary gland.) And the thing is, there aren't really many symptoms that show until it's too late.
