Hi everyone

I finally got round to writing a short blog about my / our experience with cancer starting in late 2019.

I hope you enjoy it (if enjoy is the right word!!).

  • Hi, Sharon, I did follow you and your husbands treatment with your posts at the time you were both having it, and wondered how on Earth you both got through it. i know when I was having my treatment, after 3 weeks I could no longer drive to the hospital, so my wife took over all driving. Also I was totally relient on her for everything during my recovery.   Your blog is a great read, and I'm sure it will be  inspirational to all who read it. Best of luck to you both.

    Regards Ray.

  • Thank you Ray, that means a lot. If my blog can inspire or help anyone then that makes me happy. I hope you are doing well x

  • Hi Sharon

    Thank you for sharing you and your husbands story through your blog.  I can only echo what the others have written.  I found it very moving how you both went through your cancer journeys at the same time, and how you both came through . I wish you both all the very best.
