2 years clear.

Hi to everyone.

I've just spent some time reading through some of the posts and lovely to see the wonderful support continues as we all deal with various aspects of cancer.  We still are so incredibly grateful for the words of those who had walked the walk before us. It makes a huge difference to those facing the wall of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. So thank you again.

I just wanted to let everyone know my husband is now 2 years since he had THE diagnosis p16 tonsil cancer with lymph nodes. A designer mask and 6wks of radiotherapy/chemo.  The physical and emotional journey is relentless.  Every day a challenge those days turn into weeks and then months. Now for we are talking in years. That seemed so far away in those early days. 

But in these words there lies Hope for those of you on your own journey. Knowing there is an end to your tunnel.  The  fear, anxiety, pain, sleepless nights.  Worried family faces. 

My husband has certainly made an incredible recovery.  Eating and drinking what ever he wants. Only chocolate and ice cream don't deliver the full pre treatment taste but still enjoyable.  He still suffers from fatigue at times however he is 2 urs older  

We know he is lucky with both the type of cancer and the level of his recovery.. For this we are both immensely grateful.  

We are back to walking the wonderful fells in the Lakes,  infact we now live in south Lakes.. 

Cancer has definately changed our lives forever, I don't suppose  it is something you can ever forget fully. However within that change we actively seek new ways to enjoy the simple things in life. Making the most of the life we are given. Walking a fell with a well earned drink in a lakeland pub is one of our simple Joy's.

So  we are sending love to everyone,  to those still providing valuable support and those of you finding your own way through.  May you all find your new life out the other side. Xx
