Episode 038: Iain Liam Ward AKA The King of Chemo

 

What would you do if you were told you had five years to live?

At just 30 years old, Iain Liam Ward - better known online as The King of Chemo - was diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer and given a five-year life expectancy.

That was five and a half years ago.

Since then, he’s turned his diagnosis into a mission: raising millions for charity, building a community of millions online, and proving what’s possible when you stop waiting to die - and start living.

In this conversation, we talk about everything from gaming and fitness to grief, male friendship, how cancer impacts dating, Iain's choice not to have children and the random moment a medical trial changed his life forever.

It’s raw, real, and deeply human - a reminder that even in the darkest of times, finding purpose is always possible.
