'The night before my treatment started Carol and I went to see the Blackpool Illuminations and promised each other we’d come back when my treatment was finished'
A father was diagnosed with tongue cancer following his daughter's observation of lumps on his neck and altered speech while on a caravan holiday.
She said: "During the pandemic, you naturally kept your distance from one another. So it was only later on in the year when we went on a caravan trip and were in close proximity to each other, sat face to face, I saw how uneven Stuart's face looked." The dad, from Widnes, opted to be part of a clinical trial during his treatment. He said: "Even though it was another string to my bow in terms of fighting my cancer, my main reason for taking part was to give something back. If the cancer research and knowledge gained from my participation can help someone going through the same in the future, then sign me up."
"This is why I'm eternally grateful for the Speech and Language Therapy Team at Clatterbridge. Heulwen and the team took over absolutely every aspect of care, guidance, advice, and support. I couldn't have made the progress I did without them."
