Before Geo was diagnosed with cancer, he was known for his energetic style, surreal take on life and long messy hair. He worked with some of the biggest comedians in Denmark and was on television, radio and films. When he was diagnosed with cancer, everything changed. He lost his hair and found himself in a body and set of mind, he didn’t recognize. Today, he is cancer free and spends a lot of his time speaking about his time as a cancer patient; how people changed around him and how he tried to laugh through it all.
Speaker Geo is also the author of two Danish books, which both tackle life with and after cancer: Not A Joke and What Now. His keynotes are based on these books and he has given hundreds of keynotes with regards to cancer. In 2013, he gave a TEDx Talk in Copenhagen titled “The only wrong you can do is not doing anything” in which he described how his loved ones had reacted during his time as a cancer patient.
