On this episode, we speak to the world’s leading melanoma pathologist, professor Richard Scolyer, about the tumour found in his brain earlier this year, and how he decided to see himself as a guinea pig, adapting his pioneering approach to melanoma to solving the riddle of brain tumours like his own.
He’s joined by his close friend and colleague from Melanoma Institute Australia, professor Georgina Long, with Good Weekend senior writer Tim Elliott hosting a discussion about cancer treatments, grief - and how you respond when death appears to be a certainty.
