I was suddenly feeling a lot better come the Spring of 1996. I didn't know why or want to raise hopes that something dramatic had happened but there was a difference. By now I was practically hairless and suffering some nerve damage from the chemo that gave me aggravating tingling in hands and feet but ...
It was June and my wife and I had been placed in a cubicle awaiting a consultant. She came in smiling with an entourage. The news that I was in remission was probably the sweetest most exquisite thing I have ever heard. I remember saying that I wished she could give all her patients that same piece of news. Smile? Yes I did. My wife and I had between us with the help of others licked the disease.
I was asked to continue the course of chemo over the following 2 weeks whilst they sent all xrays and scans for rechecking to see if they had got it wrong in the first place!
My thoughts are still with the people helping cancer suffers and with those shouldering their fight with the disease.
