If there are any of the older people still reading the posts of the new ones as I do this is an update of Barry, he has finished his radiotherapy. Well pleased with myself, I have only missed a couple of runs while Barry has been having his radiotherapy and today was his last session, 7and a half weeks gone so quickly. Should have the results on the 11th Feb when we see the oncologist . So the plan now, a few days rest and he wants to start C2k5 again at the weekend, so we will go out together again, ah

Welcome back Pat and Barry. What a positive message. Fingers crossed for 11th Feb and for C25K restart on Saturday. Tell Barry we're all holding his hand "virtually" for his first outing on Saturday. Good luck xxx

Well done both of you. It must be really hard not to let the cancer take over your lives and it is lovely to hear that the running has helped you avoid that.

Good to read this update, Pat..I hope Barry enjoys his first session (this time around) of C25K, and is able to get back to his former fitness level.

What an inspiring post. All the very best with the results and may you enjoy many more happy years running. Best wishes.

You must both be so pleased and relieved that the radiotherapy has finished. good luck with results day. Hope that Barry doesn't still feel too tired from the effects of the treatment. Go carefully and enjoy! :)
