This time John comes over from Doncaster to Wirral to join John Cheek live n the Flame studio for an hour. From this hour three series programmes have been created. The conversation centres around John's current phase of cancer treatment (radiotherapy) and the detail of the treatment mechanism. This is not for the squeamish. But the conversation goes on to the reaction of people to the "C....." word and to the hope that John's strong Christian faith gives him on this painful path. Please continue to pray for John as he battles through treatment.

In the middle of chemotherapy treatment for cancer, John reflects at home in Doncaster in these four programmes on the words of our theme tune by Andrew Gardiner of "Rising Hope" ... I am loved, I am His, I am set free, in Christ I have my true identity.
As always, John makes us think by the things he says.

Struggling with his voice, John bravely relates two stories of how these programmes have helped people. John's road is still dark, and he has much pain and discomfort. But praying friends are a great help and John struggles on - 3 years after initial cancer diagnosis. What keeps him going ... we let you decide that ... but it is something to do with a living faith in Jesus Christ.

In this programme John's daughter Wendy talks about her personal reaction to the sad news that her father John was diagnosed with cancer.

A very special episode featuring a 2017 recording of Andrew Gardiner (of Hope Baptist Church in Plymouth) talking to John Cheek at Flame CCR. Andrew explains the origin of the lovely track "true identity" he wrote during his cancer treatment. John Daniels has adopted this track as his theme tune. The programme ends on a sad note acknowledging Andrew's death in March 2018. Andrew is home with The Lord but his memory lives on with his music.

This was going to be a simple interview but we changed our minds when John offered to come over to Wirral from Doncaster on a regular basis and update us on his situation. So we trust that this series of "diary" programmes interests you and perhaps challenges you. In this programme John talks to his niece who went through full treatment for breast cancer - and then was able to fly off to Las Vegas for a 50th birthday celebration - and a sudden surprise.

An intense headache that will not go away - not the easiest thing to cope with when trying to think and talk in a coherent way. A reminder that when on the journey with one thing, other things press in. How do you cope when this happens ... John's answer is reflected in the music track It is well which points back to a God who is always there, even when we do not think so.
