Searching for the Truth
One day there will be a better world than this. A world where eventually everything will make sense.
About Liam Ryan
Former Liverpool architect Liam Ryan was diagnosed with “one of the worst cases” of head and neck cancer ever seen at Aintree University Hospital in 2002. But with world-class medical expertise and the support of his friends and family, he managed to beat the illness – and now he’s written a book about it titled “Cancer 4 Me 5 (after extra time)”.

The Questions of Life
Everybody is equal on the surface to me now, no matter how they appear. It is only what is hidden on the inside that makes the real difference between us.
Pay Now, Receive Later
Of all the people that I know, very few, if any, seem to completely attain the life that I believe they deserve.
The Power of a Single Light
When the entire world is in chaos we all need personal stories of inspiration like never before.
A Year to Never Forget
I hope that the world will learn from the co-operation and determination we all showed through the negativity of this year.
The World Turns Upside Down
The Coronavirus has turned the world as we know it upside down. It has become an Armageddon moment for the entire planet. More Americans have now died from it than were killed in the First World War.
You See More Going Downhill
They will be coming to an end soon but I am enjoying my 50’s. A stage of your life, better than any other, when everything comes together.
You are old enough, but you are still young enough too.
The (Unfair) Pressure on the Kicker
The position of the kicker on a football team has always intrigued me. Here is a player that for most of the time is practically anonymous. Many of the rival fans and neutrals watching won’t even know his name. He runs on, unannounced and unnoticed, a few times in the game just to kick the ball between the posts, and then disappears again, whilst everybody is generally consumed with the much higher profile players and the more dramatic plays.
The Little Jobs Can Bring the Biggest Rewards
But I always like to keep my hand in on a few smaller projects at all times too. They keep me grounded. They bring me out to real people, living real lives, with real housing issues. No matter how small their individual project may be on the global scale, for them, it is the biggest project in the world.
Reflections from the edge of my life, (16 years later)
16 years ago this week I was lying on a bed in the intensive care unit of Liverpool University hospital. My face looked as if somebody had just exploded a bomb in the middle of my head. Against great odds, I was still alive after some of the most complex surgery that is possible.
