  • HPV - The Radio National Documentary
    Brad Keeling is a man best known as the co-founder of One Tel. But he is also a dear and close friend of ABC broadcaster Carol Duncan. When she discovered Brad had been diagnosed with throat cancer she asked if he'd share his story with her.
    Throat cancer is often presumed to be the result of smoking, and while Brad had been a recreational smoker in his twenties, and been exposed to passive smoking, his cancer was the result of the Human Papillomavirus, HPV.
    In this feature produced by Carol Duncan we hear from Brad soon after diagnosis, travel with him through surgery and then check in with him as he undergoes treatment to help him recover. First aired June 2013.
