This blog is a story of my diagnosis, treatment and survival of Cancer. On 19/5/2005 I had confirmed to me that I had a cancer found on a tumour extracted from a Tonsil, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)which spread to my left neck lymph nodes. I do not or have ever smoked, exercised daily and had a very healthy diet. This log is a quirky, light hearted approach which documented my treatment, and now recovering and living with a cancer that kills one in two people that get it.

Hi Nigel, coping strategy for black day - if you can stand up and put one foot in front of another, get out there and walk along the sea wall in Starcross and look at the gorgeous view across the estuary and breathe in that beautiful fresh sea air. You're glad to be alive, OK!
Then go home and look at the photo of those gorgeous kids.

I am sure they are writing the get well soon cards as we speak.
The funny thing was as I was being taken to the operating theratre the porter said to me " Hello Nige, how are you still reffing..I remember when you sent me off! Talk about grim reaper!
No wonder my tonsil hurts so much!
