JOHN was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2000 aged 52 and had chemo and radio therapy over a 5 month period which seemed to do the trick and is now in remission/cured (not sure which really). Unfortunately John started chemo and radiotherapy treatments again in September 2010 but says that he is not suffering the same adverse effects as last time.

NIGEL was diagnosed with inoperable and incurable Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer in May 2004 aged 58 at St Luke's Cancer Centre, Royal Surrey County Hospital and had a course of seven weeks intensive radiotherapy with ongoing hormone therapy. When the first hormone started to fail he volunteered for a 14 month vaccine trial and on completion, as the PSA was rising a little too rapidly, was put on the two alternative hormones together. Under the care of Prof. Hardev Pandha at Surrey University Postgraduate Medical School the PSA was kept under control until December 2009 when the hormone approach began to fail again and he is now on a second clinical trial to try and keep the cancer in check.
