    Want some good news? Met my oncologist earlier. In a nutshell, I'm doing great, not conforming to expectations & doesn't want to see me again for 6 months! Just monitor bloods, stay on hormone treatment & enjoy life 👊 Best news ever 😊 #Cancer #CarpeDiem

    Just had a call from Minister @DonnellyStephen, who this morning brought my proposal to cabinet, where it was accepted. Very emotional & proud right now. Thank you so much for all your support. Together, we've achieved this 👊 #medicalcardscandal

    My prognosis gave me 4 1/2 year's & today marks that milestone. Happy to report that I'm no closer to meeting my maker than I was on that fateful day 😊 #Cancer has taught me to cherish life as best you can & those that you share it with. #CarpeDiem 👊

    Bit of news. Bone scan is clear! After a few bumps over last several months, life's looking mighty fine for the next several. #Cancer has knocked, but no one's at home. Much love out there & I'm genuinely so grateful ❤️ Perfect end to an unbelievable few days 🤗 #CarpeDiem

    We don't let animals suffer at end of life, yet society expects those of us with a terminal illness to endure whatever is thrown at us, as we approach our departure from this world to the next All we seek is a dignified death. I fully support @PhelanVicky thetimes.co.uk/article/vicky-…
