He kept it hidden. He kept doing stand-up. He kept doing interviews. He kept being Dai Henwood, while privately getting to grips with something nobody in his family had ever faced before. Four and a half years after his first appearance on the show, he sits back down with Steve and Seamus. Dai walks us through 52 rounds of chemo, 8 surgeries, a death ceremony in Japan, a three-part documentary, a book, and the moment he stopped acting like himself and started actually being himself. But this isn't a cancer story. It's a story about what happens when the fear of death is gone, and nothing remains but the joy of living. They talk about what a successful week actually looks like now. Why men need to hug each other more. The hardest thing he's ever done that isn't chemo. Why happiness is a calm emotion and most of us have never actually felt it. Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by the legends at Barkers. Hosted on Acast.
