as a bright green Winfield Green's partner cigarettes. My cousins
in prep and her dad forgot it was a dress
up date. So he grabbed a babe bar, put some
(06:45):
holes in the side, stuck it over her head and
pulled her arms out where he put the holes, which
she went as a slabber beer.

That one an amazing place.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Oh, they are absolutely phenomenal, and it's given him a
new lease of life. And the trial has been so
successful on Karl and the other twelve or thirteen participants
that they're unraveling it to other patients as well. Like,
it's just phenomenal this treatment. It's out of the US anyway.

So what is it is it? Is it a new
kind of medication or advanced drug.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah, it's a new chemo drug and it is just phenomenal.
And you know, it ebbs and flows. It's like an
emotional roller coaster. And he's been so stoic. He's been
such an inspiration. Karl and we have you know, I
have the same cancer that he still has ten years ago,
but his fight unfortunately is continuing on. And and we
(09:16):
did get a heads up a couple of weeks ago
when he you know, he's going there every two three weeks.
He can't do anything, can't barely pass wind without the
team knowing. Like, it's very strict.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I'm sure he's not Melbourne. It's a beautiful heart, mate.
Speaker 2 (09:32):

Speaker 5 (09:49):
It's very strict. But anyway, his last appointment a couple
of weeks ago, scans didn't look so good and we
were told to sort of kind of prepare ourselves because
it may may not be good. When he did the
follow up yesterday. So you know, when your medical experts
tell you that, you take notice and you think, okay,
you know, let's pick ourselves up up again and get
ready for what this next challenge is going to be
(10:11):
and how we can best support him. And you know,
you feel like you're a cat with nine lives and
you're getting all these chances and you think, you know,
is this going to be it? Anyway? Luckily it wasn't.
So even the experts and specialists, his whole team couldn't
believe it. He said, he hadn't even sat down in
the professor's office and he said, well, guess what, it
(10:32):
hasn't spread. And so we were just it was just
the most pleasant surprise because we were you hope for
the best, but you prepare for the worst in those situations.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
