“Howard and I would personally like to thank all the customers, his colleagues & friends who supported us throughout last year when I was diagnosed with Appendix cancer. The encouragement we received really did make a difference to us. All the texts, emails, cards and well wishes we received kept me going. I am now recovering from the major operation I had at The Christie in Manchester and have been told it went as good as it could. My results are positive and I’m currently waiting for my next scan to confirm I don’t need any further treatment. We are both staying positive & want me to get to the 5-year mark, then the cancer is less likely to reoccur. If you see us out and about please come and say hello, I’d love to thank people in person. Finally, I’d like to thank my wonderful husband for taking a month-and-a-half off work to look after me in Manchester & when I got home. He did everything to aid my recovery while also looking after our 3 children & making Christmas lunch. He is my diamond. I have so much to be grateful for; I thank all of you for showing me that with your support. Keep smiling, love and best wishes.”
