Talkin Toowoomba Season 3 Episode 5
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 5 Australian men, yet many men still avoid talking about it.
In this powerful episode of the Talking Toowoomba podcast, I speak openly with Dr. Viv Tse from the Icon Cancer Centre Toowoomba about prostate cancer, PSA testing, treatment options, recovery, and the emotional side of the journey.
We cover:• Symptoms and early detection• Why regular PSA testing matters• Surgery vs radiation treatment• Hormone therapy explained• Sexual health and recovery• Support services available right here in Toowoomba
I also share my own experience with surgery and ongoing treatment.
If this conversation helps even one bloke book a GP appointment, it’s worth having.

Talkin Toowoomba Season 3 Episode 4
A truly powerful and heartfelt episode on Talkin Toowoomba. Lorraine shares her remarkable journey — from growing up in regional Toowoomba to becoming a dedicated volunteer at Hope Horizons. What star
ted as receiving support during her own cancer experience has turned into giving back to others walking a similar path.
Every Wednesday, Lorraine volunteers at Hope on the Hangar in Highfields, helping run a high-end thrift shop that funds vital allied health services for people on their wellness journey. But for her, it’s about far more than just raising money, it’s about connection, community, and lifting people up when they need it most.
Lorraine opens up about profound personal loss, losing her son, her mother, her husband, and facing her own cancer diagnosis. Through it all, her outlook remains grounded in resilience, positivity, and a simple but powerful mindset: focus on today, because it’s a gift.
Her story is a reminder of the impact of community support, the strength of the human spirit, and how giving back can help heal not only others, but yourself as well.
If you’ve ever considered volunteering, Lorraine’s message is simple: just give it a go. You’ll get just as much out of it as you give.
This is one of those conversations that stays with you.
Listen now and be inspired.
