I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you personally for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I’ve been recovering from surgery.
It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me for which I am so grateful.
In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. And at the time it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.
The surgery was successful however tests after the operation found cancer had been present.
