In this week's podcast, "Tyre'd but not out" we are very pleased to have a very special guest Mr Keith Ambrose.
Kieth is a local (to us) very successful businessman, owner of the company "Treadfirst" with a number of outlets across East Anglia in the United Kingdom.
There are over 200 different types of Cancer worldwide and today we discuss with Keith one very rare Cancer known as "Polycythemia Vera"
Keith openly and honestly tells of his pre-diagnosis conditions, how for three years he struggled to get to a point when a full and complete diagnosis was eventually made, and his procedures and ongoing treatment to the present day.
This truly is a remarkable story and such an addictive listen, an insight into one of the rarest Cancers today of which we still know very little.
Keith's Cancer study made a new ground-breaking discovery in the understanding of Polycythemia Vera which astounded the leading Professor in this field.
Note:
We appreciate the word Tyre'd in the title is spelled incorrectly, but it relates to Keith's business which involves Tyres.

Unlock the Power of Positivity: Your Wellness Wake-Up Call
"Cancer, Heart Disease, Health, and Well-being — with a dose of laughter to keep us going.
These…
Nothing truly prepares you for the shock of a diagnosis or the terrifying moment of chest pain followed by a heart attack or cardiac arrest.
In our podcast, we open up about our own journeys — from diagnosis and treatment to the vital support of family, friends, and the mental health battles in between. We dive into the resources available, both medical and financial, and share the ways outside support can make all the difference.
But it’s not all heavy. We also talk about everyday life — news, sports, hobbies, arts, crafts — the things that keep us smiling through the toughest times. Special guests join us too, bringing their own stories, experiences, and fresh perspectives.
Most importantly, our podcast is light-hearted, funny, relatable, and inspiring. It’s informative without being overwhelming — and once you tune in, you’ll want to keep coming back.
So join us, laugh with us, and remember: all we ask is just a little smile.
