Business of Toast with David Downs
David tells his story about beating cancer with Optimism and Science.
David now describes himself as a genetically modified organism after his battle with terminal cancer; firstly in NZ with an escalating range of chemotherapy treatments, then the amazing luck that got him to Boston, USA to be part of a clinical trial for a radical new type of cancer treatment.
This isn’t a boring cancer talk though, it’s a story of optimism and of living life and you will laugh a lot!
He’s an ex-comedian, TV and Radio actor, author of three books; No.8 Re-wired, No 8 Recharged and A Mild Touch of The Cancer
In his ‘day job’, David Downs is a General Manager at New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE).

with piercing force, I crunch out fate.

and physically join with a single bite.
