&lt;p&gt;He was first diagonised with cancer in April 2007, at that time it was found in lymph nodes in the chest and was treated with chemotherrapy and radiotherapy.&amp;nbsp; He recovered well after the first treatment, but his cancer returned this April.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since July he has had extensive course of chemotherapy and the node has shrunk, but he still has to have radiotherapy and chemotherapy at the beginning of January 2010.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=298691&amp;AppID=14942&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="side effects" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/vasanti/archive/tags/side%2beffects" /><category term="chemotherapy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/vasanti/archive/tags/chemotherapy" /><category term="radiotherapy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/vasanti/archive/tags/radiotherapy" /></entry></feed>
