Description: Brainstorm by Richard Scolyer Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Revealing his fight against a diagnosis of incurable brain cancer, this is the remarkable story of 2024 co-Australian of the Year Richard Scolyer. Publisher Description A dedicated doctor. A devastating diagnosis. A chance for a medical revolution.Skin cancer is this countrys most common cancer, and melanoma the deadliest form of it. Richard, together with his colleagues at Melanoma Institute Australia, has dedicated years to groundbreaking research and succeeded in transforming even the most advanced forms of melanoma into a largely curable disease, bringing hope and healing to many. Then in 2023, at the peak of his life, Richard was diagnosed with brain cancer. As an internationally respected leading clinician and researcher, Richard was never going to accept the status quo-a medical approach unchanged in nearly two decades and an expectation of little more than a year to live. He instead chose to undertake world-first experimental treatment based on melanoma science. His brave decision could shorten his life or save it-the only certainty is that it will advance scientific understanding and ultimately help save the lives of others. Whether Richard Scolyer has three weeks or thirty years left, his story is a testament to the power of living with boldness, hope and a sense of possibility. Richard Scolyer gives us all hope, not only that we could one day find a cure for brain cancer but also that when life deals us a terrible hand its possible to respond with boldness and generosity. - Leigh SalesPassionate about his family and his work, an outstanding medical researcher and mentor always seeking to help others, Richard Scolyer is facing the greatest challenge of his life with courage and characteristic determination, inspiring the nation. - Emeritus Professor John Thompson AO, Melanoma Institute Australia Author Biography Professor Richard Scolyer AO is a Medical Director of Melanoma Institute Australia, shared with his colleague, Professor Georgina Long AO.
