I'm taking part in Race for Life to raise money to beat cancer sooner, while thinking of those 19 who won't be able too.

In memory of

The other 19

My Story

Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 5k to raise money and save lives. My story for those who want to know the detail, reads...On the 12th July 2018 consultant Neuro-surgeon Mr Neil Barua of Bristol South Mead hospital removed a 4cm tumour from the right front temporal lobe of my brain. My diagnosis of a grade 4 brain tumour came with a stark statistic; that 95% of people with this condition pass away within 18 months with the average life expectancy expected to be more like 14months. Following Radio and Chemo therapies at Cheltenham Oncology unit under the care of Dr Samir Guglani and his team, I am now in remission. This news strangely as difficult to come to terms with as the original prognosis. So today I am in the 5% who go on longer than 18months, or 1 in 20. So I will walk this Race for Life with my family thinking of those other 19 not so fortunate. I have and remain overwhelmed by the support and kind words received from so many during my journey so far and can't thank every one enough for that. Nor can I thank Mr Barua and Dr Guglani enough for their skill and their compassion. I also thank the NHS for the faultless care provided. And finally, Louise, Sophie and Lily...thank you for helping me during this roller coaster year..love you...xxx
