Together we walk!

In February last year, I was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer. My chemotherapy was given at The Royal Marsden in Sutton, along with 42 daily sessions of radiotherapy. I also spent time as an inpatient when I became very unwell, and my feeding tube was fitted there.

The care I have received has been nothing short of amazing. The doctors and nurses are exceptional, and my oncology nurse, Jo, was simply the best.

Unfortunately, my primary cancer has not yet been found, meaning I will remain under the care of The Royal Marsden long term. However, the secondary cancer found in the lymph nodes in my neck was successfully treated and has gone, for which I will be forever grateful.

During investigations, I had a section of my tongue removed, my tonsils taken out, and all my back teeth (top and bottom) removed in the search for the primary cancer. I continue to have regular blood tests, counselling, and ongoing treatment. Just last week I underwent another tongue biopsy and am currently waiting for the results.

I now attend weekly acupuncture at the Marsden to help manage long-term side effects from treatment, including nerve damage in my mouth, loss of my saliva gland, and facial lymphoedema. More recently, multiple enlarged lymph nodes have been found in my groin, and I am currently under investigation, with further scans scheduled. I have check-ups every two months and will continue this level of monitoring for the next five years.

Giving back is incredibly important to me. With my consultant’s permission, I will be walking the Royal Marsden March on 10th May, alongside 18 friends and family. If you, or anyone you know, would like to sponsor us—or if a workplace would like to donate—we would be so grateful. Even sharing our fundraising link on Facebook or Instagram would mean a great deal.

I will be walking not only for myself, but for friends and loved ones who are currently under the care of the Marsden, those we have lost, and the countless families affected by cancer. Sadly, the list is endless.
