Although I've been remission for 19months now, the fear of the cancer returning often comes back to bite me on the bum, big time!
When it does I think of my nephew Michael and it comforts me so much!
He was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer and his outlook was not good, 15years old, his parents were devastated!
Michael under went an 8 hour operation were the surgeons managed to remove just over 90 percent of the tumor, he then spent weeks in intensive care very very poorly!
Chemotheraphy does not work on Michael's type of cancer,his parents were told, radiotheraphy is our only hope, the doctor
said!
Eventually michael's parents were told to
take him home, time was precious!!
Fast forward to 2009,
Michael is now 29 years old and a strapping big man!!!
I hope that Michael's story can bring someone else some comfort too!
