Martin & Patrick Chat,

Martin is currently battling with Stage 4 Lung cancer and is on a very new trial drug called Lorlatinib (details will be posted in our blog). Following Martin's recent CT (Computed Tomography) Scan completed two weeks ago are in, we discuss the findings and Martins's reaction to the results.

We discuss our very first "LIVE" road show presenting to Sudbury Sporting Memories. This is the first time Martin and Patrick have performed live together since 1998 in front of a real-time live audience.

A brief introduction to CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is covered today.

One of our listeners from the USA writes in and tells us his story leading up to and including his recent Heart Attack, the treatment he received, and his family support.

Patrick also discusses how one of his friends has recently been told he will require three stents and the long 3-month wait for his procedure.

Drugs and their names are they necessary?

Martin & Patrick Chat,

Today I'ts all about Patrick.

We have listened to Martin tell us all about his Cancer in recent episodes but Martin thought that "St Patrick's Day" is tomorrow (March 16th, 2024) there is not a better time to talk to Patrick.

Patrick openly and honestly talks today about the timeline of his two heart attacks 10 years apart, leading up to the event, during the Heart attacks itself, the procedures and stents, and the rehabilitation afterward.

Patrick discusses his drug regime, itemising each one and their uses, not forgetting the side effects associated with these drugs.

Martin asks Patrick a series of questions along the way along with some unassociated questions about his life living with Heart Disease.

You may be surprised to hear this story and some of you may be able to re-late well with the story and his drug regime too.

This week for one week only Patrick gets the "Joke of the week" spot but is it as good or as bad as Martin's you tell us?

We are taking a break from guests this week as Martin and Patrick take a breather.

It's time for a little "mates taking" this we as Martin and Patrick take us through their lives meeting up for show business for the first time.

The journey is quite a long one trying to keep down normal jobs whilst on the cusp of breaking into show business professionally. 

We discuss our first meeting, how amateur entertainer Martin is suddenly thrust onto the big stage of a 1,500 seater theatre, and how that journey takes us up and down the Country to and from different theatres and TV studios.

Our talent competitions, TV appearances, our experiences with the stars and a few awkward situations.

This is a brief look at Chapter One "Martin & Patrick" and how we got to today the Podcast, where are we going that chapter is still waiting to be written.  

Next week Podcast an interview with Joe Pasquale.

This week Martin and Patrick have kindly been invited into the home of Karen Turner who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation, or balance.

It's a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be mild.

In many cases, it's possible to treat symptoms. Average life expectancy is slightly reduced for people with MS.

It's most commonly diagnosed in people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s although it can develop at any age. It's about 2 to 3 times more common in women than men.

MS is one of the most common causes of disability in younger adults.

Karen gives a candid interview with the boys about her private life, describing the onset of multiple sclerosis from the early signs and symptoms, the diagnosis, the progression, and living daily with the illness. 

This is a moving interview, truthful, and honest, and delves into the depths of multiple sclerosis and the daily struggles and support needed to live as much as an independent life as possible.

Karen is very strong, and one thing that is very apparent in this interview is the positive attitude Karen has to cope with each day and moving forward with her life, this interview is truly inspirational a we are so grateful to Karen for sharing her story with us. 

More information on multiple sclerosis can be found here at MS-UK.

Macmillan Cancer Support

In this Podcast, Martin and Patrick are delighted to talk with John-Paul Holt (JP) who is a Macmillan Cancer Care Navigator.

Paul is based at the Macmillan Centre at the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds located in Suffolk UK.

We are so lucky to have JP on our Podcast today given his heavy and important workload, but JP has found some time to tell us about the history of Macmillan Cancer Care, his role, and what Macmillan Cancer Care provides.

In 1911, a young man named Douglas Macmillan watched his father die of cancer. His father's pain and suffering moved Douglas so much, that he founded the Society for the Prevention and Relief of Cancer.

Macmillan is one of the UK's largest Cancer Charities which provides a range of services and support not only to the Cancer patients themselves but also to their families and friends too.

Listen to JP explain the range of support and services available from simple things like a chat to helping with the Cance, finances, and a whole range of things that come into play following a Cancer Diagnosis.

This is an extended Podcast as we cannot echo enough how important Macmillian Cancer Support is to the patients, family, and friends of this terrible illness and how they are with you every step of the way.

Macmillan Cancer Support relies on public support too, from fundraising, and special events to Voluntary workers including their Free Macmillan Buddies.

Some of the things Macmillan provide

Cancer Information Nurse Specialist
Financial Guidance
Energy advice
Welfare rights and advice
Work Support Service

Please help, donate, and support Macmillan Cancer Care
