When a young hospital registrar turned “putty grey”, broadcaster Joanna Paul-Robie knew she was about to get some bad news.

Paul-Robie had gone into hospital to get checked out for what she suspected were kidney stones, only to get the devastating news she had terminal cancer.

“Nobody turns that colour on purpose. So, I said to her ‘just spit it out, whatever it is, tell me, I’ll deal with it’. And she said, ‘well, we’ve seen a very big shadow on your liver, you’ve basically got liver cancer’,” Paul-Robie told RNZ’s Afternoons.
