Comedian and television host Rhod Gilbert is returning back to work after being diagnosed with head and neck cancer in June of 2022. He has been volunteering and fundraising for Velindre, a specialist centre for non-surgical cancer patients in south-east Wales for 10 years. It was on a fundraising trip that he first noticed a lump on his neck. 

"I'm leading a fundraising trek through Cuba when I catch cancer. I leave as a patron, come back as a patient.

"And then I've got to have chemotherapy in a room with a picture of me on the wall. It's just like... you can't make it up. It's just hilarious."

He is touring his new show for the next two years, something he wasn't sure he would be able to do and is not taking for granted. "To be on stage now, doing full pelt doing big shows in big theatres about what's happened, I have to pinch myself every night on stage."
