Mark’s Story

Mark’s Story - Living with brain cancer

We are inspired by our patients every day at Lift and Mark really flies the flag when it comes to patients we admire.

In this short video, Mark talks about what it was like to get a cancer diagnosis and the value of seeking support through services such as Psychology, Exercise and Dietetics.

“When you first been told that you got brain cancer, you just don't know. You hear about cancer, you've had people around you that have had cancer, but you really don’t know much about it” reflects Mark.

Having a support system and support service was very vital for Mark.

“I don't think I would've been here without the services of Lift and the staff here at Lift.”

“They got me through some of the lowest parts or the lowest point of my life, when I didn't feel like I had anything to live for. I had no job, I had no life. With the assistance of Lift, they got me back on track.”

“I really found the most important part of my whole treatment was dealing with me; getting someone to actually heal me, not heal the illness, it was healing the person inside of me.”
