Some of you will know I have had Skin Cancer in the past on my face next to my eye and recently had a reoccurrence resulting in 2 operations to remove the tumour.
Unfortunately they have not been able to remove it and I am now been advised that the best way to treat the cancer is for them to remove my eye completely and have a prosthetic one fitted this way I stand the best chance of clear margins and been cancer free.
These last few weeks have been very challenging for me with some dark days, but I am determined not to let the cancer beat me or defy who I am, No date has been set for my surgery but likely to be end of July beginning of August and I know as this date gets closer I will need to dig deep for some inner strength.
I could not do any of this without the incredible support from my family and especially my amazing wife who has been supporting me every step of the way.
I also have some great friends who have been keeping my spirits up coming round for coffee or even delivering home bakes.
I know I can do this but just got to take it a day, week and month at a time.. 🙂
