Mouth Cancer Awareness

My father Derek has recently been diagnosed with Cancer of the Throat, it is at an advanced stage and therefore will involve surgery to remove the tumour, followed by Radiotherapy to eradicate all traces of the Cancer.

If it had been diagnosed earlier the treatment would have been a lot easier and possibly without the loss of his voicebox.

This type of Cancer is one of the less talked about and early diagnosis is critical. I am taking part in a 10K walk in Hyde Park on the 20th September 2008 on behalf of the foundation for Mouth Cancer to raise awareness.

If you would like to sponsor me please visit my fundraising page below.
