“You’ve got to take care of your whole self”
Amidst his second cancer journey, father-of-two Randall actively sought out a team of health professionals to improve his recovery.
Amidst his second cancer journey, father-of-two Randall actively sought out a team of health professionals to improve his recovery.
Randall’s journey through cancer has been tough, but he’s made a conscious decision to seek out the best possible care at every stage of his recovery. After being diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia the first time – and later with bowel cancer – he realised how crucial it is to surround yourself with the right professionals. He’s worked closely with a team that includes not only oncologists, but also dietitians, psychologists, and physiotherapists – experts who’ve helped him navigate both the physical and emotional challenges of his condition.
For Randall, health insurance played a pivotal role in giving him access to the best specialists. “I’ve never regretted having it,” he says. The support he received from Southern Cross allowed him to focus on what truly mattered – his health and wellbeing. “It’s not just about treating the cancer,” Randall explains, “you’ve got to take care of your whole self.” As a father with two children, Randall knows the importance of being there for his family – sharing those everyday moments, from school runs to cooking dinner together. He encourages others to use all the tools available to them and to prioritise their health, so they can be present for the people who mean the most.
