A Mild Touch of Cancer
Film (Trailer) – 2021
I found out today that the cancer has come back again. And I’ve just had a good cry.– David Downs
If you are saved from dying, how do you live?– A question from the trailer
I felt pretty helpless, but writing down my experiences and how I was feeling about it all gave me a sense that I was still in charge, and somehow I managed to make it humorous. I didn't expect people to respond as enthusiastically as they did or that it would lead me to the treatment that saved me.– David Downs on writing a blog about his cancer treatment, The Whanganui Chronicle, 15 August 2019
