“I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer some 20 months ago. I spent the previous 6 months in extreme pain before Dennis (my tumours name) showed up on the margins of an MRI of my neck, it seemed a relief to finally understand why I'd been so ill. While the treatment has been really difficult at times, I am now off Chemotherapy and currently having only Immunotherapy, so side effects not quite as bad.
Like most other sufferers, I am waiting for the latest scan results to see where i am on my journey.
It is my wish to contribute to the efforts made by so many other people in combating Lung cancer.. I am doing the 31 miles in March for Roy Castle Lung Cancer foundation. if you wish to sponsor me I have set up a JustGiving page, just go to JustGiving and type in my name " Andy Bartle" for the link to my page.
Take care everyone and live life to the full.
Andy”
