In 2015 Greg Taipari thought a persistent cough was from allergies - it turned out to be throat cancer. Three years later when he had recovered from treatment and a stroke his wife Claire was diagnosed with breast cancer. Greg was well into his treatment before he told his whanau (family) he had cancer - when Claire was diagnosed he took a different approach and they walked through the experience together. Helen chats with the couple about how cancer has changed them and why they became vegetarians after a wellness retreat.
