On this day in 2019, I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. I was truly devastated, the first thought being, “I’m going to die”. After a tough two years of treatment, recent scans and other tests show I’m all clear. Thank you @barts_team @NHSEnglandLDN @bowelcanceruk

3 years ago today, after being extremely unwell for 18 months, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Relief that I knew what was wrong with me but fear that I was going to die. Thankfully I’m okay now. 🙏🏻 Please get checked by your GP if you have symptoms & don’t be fobbed off.

In November, I was diagnosed with Bowel cancer. A CT scan showed that it hadn’t spread to any major organs and on 3rd January, I had surgery to remove part of my Bowel and the tumour. Also, further tests showed that my lymph nodes were clear. 1/2

This is the junction of Crownhill Rd with Harlesden Gdns. If @Brent_Council can allow taxis to access school streets, why can’t other councils do the same? Disabled pupils and carers cannot be dropped at the end of the road. @IslingtonBC @hackneycouncil @CamdenCouncil @wfcouncil

@donnyosmond 15th April 1984. The Montcalm Hotel in London. You’d just performed at Her Majesty’s Theatre. The security guy told me to leave, you gave him the camera and asked him to take the photo. 😆 #FBFwithDonny
