Good Evening Everyone and my profuse apologies for the inordinate delay since my last post.
The good news is that I'm still alive over 12 years since my operation and the further good news is that I continue to deliver presentations to a whole host of organisations including speech and language therapists, dentists, surgeons and anyone else who cares to listen. My speech has improved to such an extent that no-one knows that I speak with half a working mouth.
The progress of Head and Neck Cancer UK (HANCUK) has been steady but the influence of the charity has increased substantially. We now provide survivors to help with a wide variety of research projects and have a seat at most of the health related organisations and in government. This keeps my brain in decent order as we attempt to improve the outcomes for existing survivors and future patients.
Whilst the body keeps telling me that I'm getting older, I still play golf (badly - nothing changes) and watch as much football as I can. I have decided that skiing is no longer a sensible option but may change my mind at some stage. Life is good, it's busy and interesting; and family time is very precious.
I hope to post again before the year is out but as I'm living the life of any 70 year old, its not too interesting for anyone else.
Enjoy life
Best wishes
Chris
