As an intelligent senior male citizen I thought I knew about cancer, in particular the treatment. Several of my family and friends have gone down the path before me. I told my wife first about the suspicion of a problem, she then informed our closest family. I thought how to release the news to friends and decided on FB via a story. It went down well so opened the story to 'the world'.
Anyway, mine is oesopageal cancer and the treatment is opposite to what I knew. All the best bits first ending in major surgery, with originally a minor operation mid way through. My prayers were answered as the Government have altered the guidelines in time for me to avoid this additional risk.
My cancer is currently contained so the next step is visit an oncologist to see what the chemo treatment will entail. Early days but feel upbeat, at the moment.
For anybody reading this and also under treatment, take care and hopefully we'll all get to the end of this tunnel.
Best wishes and Love, Charlie-7
