Paul's cancer diary: 'You need somebody in your corner'
Paul Meisak has terminal cancer and is recording a video diary for 5 Live Breakfast. After undergoing a CT scan last month, Paul now has to decide whether to go ahead with a further round of chemotherapy 鈥� which could prolong his life.
Speaking to wife Bridget after his hospital appointment, Paul says: "[Cancer] strips away at the very being of you. You feel yourself being eroded鈥� just being stripped away, bit by bit.鈥�
