For the last few weeks, I've been completely happy. I've got my next PSA in three weeks' time. It may well show my PSA is starting to go up, and the cancer's coming back. Totally to my surprise, I've acquired this sort of Buddhist Zen outlook. Well, the future doesn't exist. I'm well. I'm happy at the moment. I've had a wonderful, exciting life. I've made lots of mistakes. I've trampled on people - yak, yak, yak, as I discuss in my books. But at the moment, today, the sun is shining. I'm very well. It's not that I'm in denial, but I think, well, all right. It may be bad news in three weeks' time, but that's three weeks away. At the moment, I'm well.

British neurosurgeon, for three decades a consultant at St George's Hospital in London, and the author of Do No Harm, Admissions and And Finally. Diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in early 2020, with a seventy-five per cent probability of recurrence within five years, he wrote And Finally (2022) about crossing over from doctor to patient. He remained alive and in remission at the time of this pass, which makes him the least terminal of the six people here.
