Carol Smith, originally from Dorset, UK, swapped her family home for a caravan
after overcoming overcoming breast cancer and a double mastectomy.
The 36-year old mum-of-two set off on an open-ended adventure from Bensville, New South Wales with her husband, Adam, and their sons, who were aged just 3 and 5 at the time of Carol's cancer diagnosis.
Carol explains what it was like to face such a frightening health battle in Australia, as well as how she handled the news with her two boys and her reasons for taking her family off-grid.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
