#15 Brian Penfold - A Helping Hand
In the second part of our conversation with former Army Lieutenant Colonel Brian Penfold, we hear how he began his rehabilitation from a life-changing accident while on deployment. Never one to sit idle, Brian recalls that while recuperating he began his Masters in Aviation Safety Engineering alongside undertaking a 24/7 role with the Army’s Special Projects team.
During this busy period however, a routine blood test prior to further surgery led to a sudden diagnosis with a rare and incurable form of leukaemia. Brian is extremely forthright in reflecting on how his life was changed by the health anxiety prior to his diagnosis, and the importance of communicating with loved ones when the emotional turmoil has become too much to bear alone.
