Hi everyone

I’m delighted to say I was given the all-clear yesterday. 

Diagnosed with stage 3 tongue/throat cancer last December. Treatment with Cetuximab and radiotherapy for 6 weeks across March and April which made me very poorly. Recovery has been slow and still can’t taste much but all other side effects gradually disappeared.

Following MRI and PET scans plus the longest wait of my life I was given the good news at 4pm yesterday. By 6pm I’d booked a cruise for me and my poor long-suffering wife.

Thank you for all your support and advice. By day 13 of treatment I’d wanted to give up but thankfully my wife refused to give me permission. So it’s time to start living again.
