I Felt a Lump On the Side of My Throat - With Bill
This week's Decent Fucking Human is Bill Lee-Emery. His fucked up story is about surviving throat cancer. In 2022, Bill was diagnosed with throat cancer. He was a healthy, 70-something-year-old man who up until that point wouldn't even take an aspirin for a headache. He'd prioritized alternative medicine for over 40 years, so the diagnosis created tougher questions for him than it would for many. He wasn't the type to just say "Hey doc, what's the plan?" so he consulted with both his naturopath and physician before deciding what to do next. He opted to hit it hard and...

Episode 38: "Community"
No, not the TV show. This week, Bill and Dan are joined by special guest Jeffery Saddoris of Faded & Blurred (dot com).
