September 18: Patting the Shark – Prostate Cancer Month Special
Tim Baker … in conversation with Bill Kable
Tim Baker was living the dream. A best-selling and award-winning surf writer with a beautiful family, a lifetime of exotic travel and walking distance to quality waves.
That all changed in 2015 when he was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. So began a descent into the debilitating world of aggressive cancer treatments and a fight for survival.
In 2020, 1.5 million men were diagnosed with prostate cancer globally and 375,000 lost their lives. In Australia, one in seven men will develop prostate cancer. Yet mainstream oncology concedes its ability to keep men with prostate cancer alive has outstripped its ability to manage the often devastating side effects of treatment.
Tim had to navigate his way through the maze of conventional and supportive therapies. His plea is for a more integrated approach to cancer care, treating the whole person and not just the cancer, allowing cancer patients a sense of empowerment in charting their path through treatment.
