Hi quick post today was a day that in May 2018 I couldn’t have imagined.My last visit to say goodbye to my lovely oncologist Dr Sen at Leeds cancer centre. How do you say thank you to the man who saved my life. I was discharged last May by ent in Wakefield at the 5 year mark. Dr Sen has seen me yearly since 2018 so it was a bitter sweet moment. We chatted we laughed he’s retiring in June I’ve seen his son grow from 13 to 18 and starting university our grandson grow from 8 to 13 which in those dark early days I didn’t think I would see.
He’s sent a refferal to Leeds dental hospital for me so they can access my scans in case I need any extractions. He’s also written to my gp to ensure I will have a yearly thyroid check for life.
We hugged I wiped a tear away and left saying remember One life just live it.
Also today a big day James our grandson got his HPV vaccination. So just a reminder if you’ve teenagers boys and girls get the vaccine. Let’s help eradicate HPV cancers.
