It is being an incredibly tough couple of months front our family, but I've had a fantastic medical team who taking great care of me for which I'm so grateful in January. I underwent major abdominal surgery in London at the time. It was so that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful, the test for the operation on Council has been present. My medical team that for advice that I should undergo course of preventative chemotherapy, and I'm now in the early stages about treatment.

This of course came as a huge shock and William and I have been doing everything they can to process and manage this privately at the sake of all young family. As you can imagine this is taking time. It is taking me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment but most importantly it is taking us time to explain everything to do with Charlotte's in Dewey and a way that's appropriate for them until we show them that I'm going to be okay. I thought I said to them I am well, I guess I'm Stronger Everyday by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind body and spirits.

Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance to be as if the Lost support and kindness that is being shown by so many of you. It means so much trust price. They hope that you will understand that as a family. We now need some time space and privacy while I complete my treatment. My wife is always bought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I'm able but for now, I must focus on making a full recovery. At this time. I also think you do this. He's nice to be affected by cancer. Everyone facing this disease and wolves have a full please. Do not lose Faith or hope you are not alone.
