"It was so frightening having Prostate Cancer, but Louisa, my nurse, made it calm and simple."

Rex Ofusu Martey

Jazz musician Rex’s love affair with music started when he was just 14.

He moved from Ghana to London in 1966 – a place which initially “felt like Mars”. Rex performed in pubs and clubs in South London, but it was only when he retired that he felt able to revive his music career – so his cancer diagnosis came as a shock. Rex performed in pubs and clubs in South London, but it was only when he retired that he felt able to revive his music career – so his cancer diagnosis came as a shock. Meeting the team at Guy’s Cancer – particularly Louisa Fleure, Lead Uro-Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist – was a turning point. “Luckily, I got Louisa as my nurse,” says Rex. “She made it so calm, she made it so simple. It’s not the end of the world, you know, something can be done about this.”

Inspired by Louisa’s outstanding care and kindness, Rex decided to write a song for her. “When I met Louisa and her team, she made me feel at ease about the cancer. She took the scare out of it. That’s why I wrote the song for her.”

“I would like to thank Guy’s Cancer for all the things they’ve done for me, the kindness they have shown to me. Without their care, I wouldn’t have been able to make this album.”

That’s why we’re not just Guy’s Cancer Charity, but Rex’s too.
