it is exactly one year ago today that I was told that I had throat cancer and that I needed 30 sessions of radiotherapy. The emotion that comes from hearing this from the oncologist, Dr Casasola, will remain with me forever.

Yes it does doesn’t it. It never leaves you though it does sink into some sort of black hole memory in time.
I remember the day and the time just before bed that I poked my finger down my tongue after brushing my teeth and found my cancer. I knew what it was straight away. The look on my face! But like childbirth the pain has gone and it gave me a new life to boot!
