Hey, I’m Alexander Porter and New World Porter is your FREE weekly source of humour and practical life tips from a cancer survivor who thrashed leukemia into remission in return for a few scars, crippling health anxiety, and a nurse fetish.

Most importantly, my dance with cancer (can-can with cancer?) taught me that:

a). Life is unbelievably precious

b). Life doesn’t always play fair

When you learn these, you discover the freedom to think, act and do things on your terms - not because of what society or other people tell you. So that’s what I’m here for, to remind you to grasp life by its nutsack and live the best damn one you can*

New World Porter is the type of advice I wish I’d had when I was diagnosed with cancer instead of the generic bullshit “life advice” that’s infected the internet. I write about funny, relatable life stories + perspective shifts, but I also write vulnerably about my experience with cancer so you — or someone you know — never have to feel alone in your struggle.

I’ll let it all out in each email (like I am in the picture below, only in a more metaphorical sense), and you’re invited to the party. Grab a chair, pour yourself a glass of whatever you like, and let’s make sense of this New World Porter together.

*Best life. Not best nutsack.

Bold claim? I’ll prove it to you…

In Sydney, Australia born and raised.

In the bush was where I spent most of my days.

Chilling out, maxin’ relaxin’ all cool.

Drinking a Fosters out by the pool.

Until I went to the Doc, in need of an answer.

He said “Sorry Alex, but you have cancer”.

I had seven months of chemo to stop my life being shorter.

Then came out the other side as a New World Porter.
