DD is almost 16 and has this evening gone off to her prom looking absolutely stunning.

This is the same girl who, just 5 years ago, laid in a hospital bed full of tubes and drains following major abdominal surgery to remove a huge tumour.

Tonight is her night, and a big ‘fuck you’ to cancer. I am so incredibly proud of her and how she’s recovered both mentally and physically. I thank my lucky stars each and every day that she survived.
