David’s life took a dramatic turn in December last year when he was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a type of cancer that affects the bones and soft tissues. His journey began with a lump in his back that caused discomfort and sleepless nights, leading him to visit A&E. The diagnosis was a shock, and David felt like his life had changed forever.
Despite the challenges, David remains positive and determined. He has completed 12 rounds of chemotherapy and will continue treatment throughout the year. His experience has made him a stronger person, and he is now determined to raise awareness and fund life-saving research.
David recently opened the Cancer Research UK Race for Life in Taunton alongside his family and plans to walk 44 miles over three days from his house to the Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre, where he receives treatment. His story is a testament to the importance of early diagnosis and the impact it can have on treatment outcomes.
David’s courage and resilience inspire us all, and his message is clear: if you notice anything unusual, speak to your GP. Early diagnosis can make a real difference in the fight against cancer. Thank you, David, for sharing your story and supporting the quest for a cancer-free future.
