'My care has been faultless.'
“[Velindre] has been a big part of my life for the last 10 years, so imagine my surprise when I was diagnosed with cancer. It pissed me off no end, because I thought I’d have lifelong immunity,” he quipped.
“I had to have chemotherapy sessions in a room with pictures of myself on the way in, grinning down at myself [...] My care has been faultless. My facial hair is coming back, my voice is back to normal. My weight and saliva glands are starting to come back,” he continued. “My physical recovery goal is to lead the next fundraising trip to Morocco, to the highest point in North Africa in the Atlas Mountains. That's my goal. I’m a little way off that at the moment, but I am feeling optimistic and weirdly I'm feeling really happy and really positive – some would say there’s a first time for everything.”
