Coping through creativity: Timothy James Bowen’s story
You may have heard of Timothy James Bowen – in 2020, he was a contestant on Australia’s TV show, The Voice. In this episode, we ask with the singer/songwriter to take us back to the time of his diagnosis; a time when Timothy was building his music career – writing and recording music and playing shows on tour.
Timothy was tired and sore, but he put that down to his busy lifestyle, his poor posture, and spending hours in the recording studio. After an innocent sneeze caused him to fall over in pain, Timothy realised that something more serious could be going on. Eventually, on 17 December 2015, Timothy was diagnosed with stage four lymphoma.
