Update from Andrea Canning :)
14 March 2023
Hi there all you generous people. This is a small update on my cancer journey.
I finished the gruelling 2nd round of chemo at the end of August and this was followed by a
lumpectomy and lymph node dissection. Biopsies on the removed tissue showed no sign of cancer
cells so my Oncologist and Surgeon were extremely encouraged by this outcome and said I had had
the best response they could have hoped for!
Immunotherapy has carried on every three weeks throughout this period.
In December I had a 3 week course of daily radiation therapy which was thankfully wrapped up by
Christmas Eve. This is a safety guard to mop up any undetected cancerous cells that could possibly
be lurking in the affected areas.
I have now had 10 of the 16 sessions of Immuno and we are still hopeful this is the icing on the cake
and is going to keep me free from this insidious disease returning.
My hair is growing back, albeit short, grey and a bit curly but I am feeling a lot more energetic and
positive for the year to come.
I feel truly blessed that this has all been made possible and cannot ever thank you enough for the
love and support you have all shown.
Much love
Andy & Strat
