In 2020, Mr Omar Hilmi sat across from Lee in a Glasgow hospital and told him he had six months to live. Five years later, they sat down for a cup of tea and talked about it.
This is one of the most honest mental health conversations we've had on Mind Cake, and it isn't really about cancer. It's about honesty, hope, how doctors carry impossible conversations home with them, and what David Gemmell's Legend has to do with surviving a terminal diagnosis. Oh, and how Mr Hilmi ended up singing at Darth Vader's funeral.
If you're looking for a mental health interview that's funny, moving and genuinely unlike anything else, this is it. Mind Cake is a comedy wellbeing podcast exploring honest mental health conversations and the stuff that actually helps, without the therapy speak.
