@John_Dabell You are an inspiration! I’m thinking of you and hoping the best for you! I suspect I am one of many silent people who admire you and respect you deeply from afar. I hope you recover from this. No reply expected or required. John

Just saying I'm really not very well at the moment and utterly exhausted. I won't be posting until I have better news or responding to your lovely messages as I have no energy. Apologies but I'm not in a good place.

Does anybody know what honour the letters GN are referring to? Asking for a friend. Many thanks for any assistance offered

@John_Dabell You are such an amazing example of courage to those of us who have a similar (but by no means as serious) condition as is yours. Ian rooting for you. Thank you for your bravery and resilience.

Things normally turn on a sixpence with head and neck cancer. I've been fighting off a jaw infection for the last 48 hours, but it has now dug its heels in good and proper, and my face looks like half of Wallace from Wallace and Gromit! This is all related to bone death and complications from radiation, and it is something that I have to live with. Selfies have, therefore, been suspended until the invaders have been brought to heel!
