As a young and healthy anaesthetic registrar preparing for his final specialist exams, Dr Steven never imagined he could become a patient.
Unexpectedly, a colonoscopy revealed a large tumour and he was diagnosed with metastatic bowel cancer, which resulted in a year of intensive chemotherapy, surgery and significant complications.
Despite being given a prognosis of only a few years, Steven achieved the impossible is now cancer free and a full-time anaesthetic consultant at Caboolture Hospital. 👊
"My journey as the patient has taught me innumerable practice-changing lessons, from how I manage a pain crisis to advice I give before major surgery, it grants a level of empathy few can match," Steven said.
"Of the seven hospitals I rotated through, the Caboolture team were so friendly, collegiate and caring. My plan is to work as an anaesthetist in Caboolture for the foreseeable future.
"The threat of my cancer coming back is always present, but I am living as much of my life now and really appreciating my wife and kids." 🫶
Legend ! We are lucky to have you at Caboolture 🤩
Stay blessed
Keep being you and positive. A wonderful person. All the best.
You are an inspiration Steve!!
Even in the most difficult moments, it is still possible to find hope and strength. Cherishing the present, valuing your family, and taking care of your health are victories in themselves.
All my best wishes! As a cancer survivor I know how important the people around you can be to your wellbeing. Thank you for your openness and keep up the good work!
So so very pleased for you Steve - all the best Tony (now back in the UK and retired ! )
Congratulations ❤️
I hope you continue to live a happy healthy life! Well done you for beating the cancer!
I’m sorry this happened to you. Hoping you keep well for a very long time 🙏🏻
Admiration for your courage and determination from another bowel cancer survivor who is here because of our National Bowel Screening Program.
As the beautiful Prof Richard Scolyer said …. Just don’t lean in “ leap in with all you’ve got “
That's a great outcome
How good is he I would want him as my anaesthetist. Listening to a patient and empathy, many surgeons lack this.
All the best...wishing you a full recovery 🙏 ❤️
