Speaker 2 (00:03):
Today is a special day, not just the start of
the Leukemia Foundation's World's Great to Shave Month, but it's
also the start of My Loma Month. My dearest friend
Barrydeboi is with us now to spread awareness and also
to get a haircut. And I appreciate Barry. Hello that
lots of people said can we do it? Can we
do it? And you chose Jonesy and I to shave
your head.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Of course, you guys will supported me with everything, so
we're like a family.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
When you said can we do it?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Can we do it? Who were these people? Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah, lots of people are keen to get into the
into the locks, that's for sure, but no.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
People wanting to do it. Yeah. Yeah, Whip is a.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Great guy, you know that, and keen to support this
cause as well. But you know this is my home
or second home. And yeah, so you're.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Not going to leave.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Wouldn't trust anybody else with the clipper has been, Amanda,
So you're.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Not going to leave here and go straight to them
and you know, get your beard shaved or something like.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Would that would that cause a problem? No, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
We're trying to spread the word.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
The work it's about awareness. That's what this is all
about for me, and more than just awareness. There's about
one hundred and forty thousand people diagnosed with blood cancer
at the moment, and unfortunately in Australia, your postcode depends
on what sort of treatment you get. So what a
look Kemia Foundation does with this money is help prop
up the lives of people that don't have it as
(01:19):
good as me. I mean, I've got friends like you.
I live in bondea Beach next to Saint Vincent's Hospital.
I've got the best treat in the country. But if
you're a single mom or dad or something in the country,
it costs you a fortune. I think it costs about
fifty grand a year something like that. Don't quote me
on these figures, but to go through the treatment of
blood cancer now, and you imagine if you don't have
(01:40):
the support. You're a single mum with two kids. You've
got to get them to school, then you've got to
get yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's upset me to tell you.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I sat beside people who had to come from Lithgow
to have treatment and the Kinghorn where I was, and
one of the chaps said to me that I remember
it really clearly. I don't know how long I can
afford this for Oh and.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
We think we live in a country where it isn't
a fact.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I know we're actually around around number seventeenth from world's
best practice. Yeah, you think in this country to have
the best, but we don't. And that's a big part
of why I'm so involved with the Kemia Foundation. We
want to bring Australia's treatment for blood cancer and cancer
across the board to world's best standard and at very
(02:20):
least what we're going to do now with this money
and the money we're continually raising, is help people that
don't have the support that I might have, or are
affected with their treatment because of where they live, and
help them out with accommodation and give them opportunity to
get the early blood tests so we can detect this early.
And you know, I'm sorry to go on about it
too much, but about and again the figures might have
(02:43):
been about sixteen people a day are dying because they're
not getting the same standard of treatment as someone like myself.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
And you had the full treatment, but it's always in
your life.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, I live with blood cancer. It's not a curable thing,
but with the right treatment. Look at me, you look
at you for years old. This year, I'm doing my best,
my best, but I've got all the support in the world,
and that's why this is so important to me. You,
the four of us in here, are so lucky to
live in the city that we live in, Yep and
have the support, and that's what works.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
We do.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
There are a lot of people out there. There are
a hell of a half the people out there aren't
getting as good a treatment as I am and need
this support.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
They need it desperately.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You talk about world's best practice. That's what people say
when they see your hair. You are famous for your
extraordinary hair, and I know you've lost your hair through
treatment a number of times within half an hour. Irritatingly,
You're like Darryl Hall in Hall of It's is Leonine
kind of incredible. Hair keeps growing. So we're going to
shave your head. We'll have grown back by lunchtime.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Maybe not lunchtime, but I haven't dinner with Miguel tonight,
so I reckon it'll be about as long as the
back hair on Wow wasistlength.
Speaker 4 (03:51):

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Wat, I'm not very good at this.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You might want to mess it up up a bit.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Now. Your hair is very long and thick. I'm just
going to go everything. It didn't take you long to
get into it changing I've been. You've got quite the
thick head of hair.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It just occurred to you.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It doesn't feel like you're doing anything.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well, what's coming out?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Have I trimmed your I've got to look in like
one of those lesser kids. Let's go over the scaring
old ladies.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I've been cutting my husband's hair and terribly. I sometimes
forget to put the guard on it.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
All.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
He looks like I was giving him all the bottom.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
There's a chunk.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
So bas with your own treatment, do you so what
happens with you?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Do you go and get just go and get a
top up? Yeah? Yeah, every two months I have the
top up. So what does that entailed?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, I just get infused with the drug that you
want to try to break down the cells that are mutating.
And because all cancer is just most cancers are just
your cells mutated and doing.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
They can't see anything from behind. I wish you to go
on the front, a big weird lump in the back
of it. That's why Jonesy doesn't have a short haircut.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I did this once before, and I've got a big
bone spur on the back.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Of my head. I've got it. It's sort of funny
watching it all come off, all this triggering Barry from times.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I was just about to say, remember in the book
I wrote about it that Crustmas time where I went
to the He hasn't got much bedside manner, this like
no but the bitch.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I got out of the shower and I was brushing
my dry and my hair and big chunks were falling out.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You're seeing your hair now, full around your shoulders.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I can't see a thing. No, am I going?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Okay, I just turned into one of those Lebanese barbers. See, okay,
I'm going to make you look like you joined the army.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Okay, I'm pretty good at this. I can't imagine. This
is great, right, what we do, it's fantastic giving.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You the number four at the moment, because you can't
go from full head of hair to nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
We have to think a man's side looks like a
giant number two.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
No, but we'll keep going until obviously gets shorter and shorter.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But we won't do all that now, right, yeah, right? Triggering?
Now would I rather talk about a man?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Is the fact that, like I said, think about those
people who lose their hair and then they've just got
to go out and take the kids. This girl, and
then they don't they don't have a way to have
transport to the chemo. And when you're going through chemot
you remember coming and visited me in hospital. How weak
I was imagine trying to live a normal life in
that situation.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And also I've seen.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You with a big bald head and you look okay.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Not many blokes my age can pull it off. But
I manage it well. You pull it, can boast through that.
I don't know. I can always find a way to
boast that. Barry. I've learned something about Barry.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Great boaster and a great black catter. So you say
a story and so that you say, I've got a
black cat, and you'll say, yeah, I've got one too,
but it's black.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You've always you're always got a better story.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
These always are better.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
And plus my cat's gray, but he could be black,
and if he was, you're a lot better.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
You look pretty good. But we've only given you like we.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Were going to go it shorter.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We are, but not right now because it's it will
keep going.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
What I'll do is you'd love commercial break when you married.

Yes, we've given you a crew cut, and I think.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
It's it looks all right. I think that looks good.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It does look good. We're going to keep going, but.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Don't walk near any coppers.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You can't just go from you can't go big long
