I am 60 years old (how ancient that sounds!) and I have had 3 non associated cancers, the most recent diagnosis being for head and neck cancer in May 2014. I am retired and prior to treatment was involved in the local amateur dramatics group, singing solo and in choirs. I enjoy theatre, films, art, music, reading and gardening. Despite my illnesses I count myself lucky in having a positive outlook on life and the support of my family.
