In June 2006 Simon Tipping was diagnosed with ‘Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma’ and was forced to ‘deal with it’. He had to make many choices in a finite time. He chose to get informed about his cancer, telling people and keeping friends, family and work colleagues in the picture. He made plans and reorganized his life before losing control of it to surgery, convalescence, radiotherapy and recovery.

This is the story of Simon's on going mission to develop and produce artwork and performances around the theme ‘Me and my cancer’ -a universal story to inform and educate audiences of all ages, taking Simons recent experiences of the ‘cancer journey’ and linking them with the classic themes of the “Hero’s Journey”.
