I had hit it on the right-hand side as I saw what I didn't even know was an opening door.
That was just the first step in a chain of events that we had no idea what was coming for us.
Five days after the bike accident, Paul was driving up near where we lived, and he called me to say, Marie, I've had an accident.
I remember feeling, what the heck is going on? Because I didn't even see it.
He would go to cross a road, and a car would be coming, and I had to pull him back.
Over the course of the next few weeks, started to do some tests with Paul that they normally do for, I guess, rugby players that have got concussion.
Eventually, the specialist told us that it'd be a good idea to get an MRI just to check.
Marie rang and said, hey, the specialist needs us to come immediately or get the family together.
I think we looked at each other and it was kind of like, this must be serious.
The results we got from the MRI were these three tumours that they could see, a five centimetre, three centimetre, and then a smaller spot in his brain.
I remember looking at Dad.
There's only one other time in my life I remember that look where he didn't know what to do.
It was the hardest thing, I think, having to watch my dad and my mum's live reaction and then kind of sitting there going, there's nothing you can say.
The next morning, the doctor came beside the bed with his little computer showing us that there were spots all throughout Paul's lungs, liver and adrenal glands.
