In memory of Professor Richard Scolyer AO

By Chris O'Brien Lifehouse

Vale Professor Richard Scolyer AO

My fellow Australians,

I pen this letter as a final goodbye to all those I have had the immense privilege of loving, sharing life's adventures with, working alongside and meeting during what can only be described as a life filled with happiness, optimism, opportunity and passion.

My intention is for this letter to be published upon my passing — as my final farewell.

I've spent the last three years being open and honest about my journey with glioblastoma (brain cancer), in part to be transparent about what cancer patients and their families go through, and in part to provide hope and inspiration that we can and should continue to push boundaries to propel the cancer field forward.

Having dedicated my 35-year working life to patient care, cancer research and improving lives, I wanted to keep contributing, even in my darkest hour.

I am extremely proud of my impact — from my lifelong career as a world leading melanoma pathologist and cancer researcher, to being the first patient to receive experimental brain cancer treatment based on melanoma science I helped develop, followed by participation in development of a brain cancer clinical trial and advocacy for greater investment in brain cancer research.

I cannot thank my beautiful wife Katie and my adored children Emily, Matthew and Lucy enough for their love, their support, their strength, and their compassion. They are shining examples of the best of humanity and make me extremely proud.

My final message to all Australians is to say thankyou for your outpouring of love and support for me and my family.

If my legacy was to continue beyond these words, I would be delighted and humbled to be remembered as a proud everyday Aussie who "gave it a crack", and in doing so, inspired others to pursue their dreams and passions with humility, love and compassion.

With much love and gratitude,

Richard

I just loved Richard for the way he shone a light on GBM and how he focused on finding a cure, by using his own illness as the research. What an amazing human. This is to thank him.

In memory of Professor Richard Scolyer, a true hero and along with Prof Georgina Long, a real embodiment of what the Australian of the Year really celebrates. Plus he just seemed like a good guy we could all relate to despite being brilliant. A huge loss for all Australians but particularly his family and colleagues, including Prof Long.

Bloody awful news. Australia has lost a dead-set ripper in Richard Scolyer, a true blue bloke who stared death down and still gave brain cancer a proper crack, not just for himself, but for every poor bugger coming after him. That takes rare guts. His courage, sacrifice and refusal to fold were bloody moving. He went out with backbone, heart and purpose. Rest easy, Richard. You did us proud.
