It only seems right to share the good news, doesn't it?

Exactly this time last year, it was so different. I'd been diagnosed with an advanced stage of Endometrium Cancer . I had my op a month later and was diagnosed with Grade 111C (of an aggressive type of cancer). Since then and until the last day of October I've had...
