On this week’s episode of Open, Emma is joined by former professional basket ball player, Will Wise.
At the end of 2022, having had no prior symptoms, Will was diagnosed with
Phaeochromocytoma - tumour of the adrenal gland and also,
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 which is a rare disorder that causes tumours in the endocrine glands and organs.
Wills’ life changed in an instant on what started off as a regular day, but whilst going through treatment and determined not to be defined by the disease, he founded #cancerbae - a movement focused on reshaping perceptions of cancer.
Will uses his social media platforms to break down taboos and preconceived notions of what stage four cancer ‘looks like’ whilst showing that we can still say yes to and embrace life, in all it’s complicated glory.
