I would like to thank all those people who were involved in my successful treatment of cancer in recent times.

First of all Dr R Grimshaw (now retired), all his colleagues and staff at Fishguard health Centre; Mr P Milewski, General Surgeon (now retired), and all his team at Withybush General Hospital; all the staff on Ward 3, Withybush October 2009; Dr Vigneswarren, Clinical Oncologist, and all his team at the Radiotherapy Department, Singleton Hospital, Swansea; Mr O Umeghele and his colleagues for five years follow up appointments at Withybush.

In particular, Mrs Jayne Calvert (Specialist Colorectal Nurse) for all her unfailing assistance with after care.

Last, but not least, my wife, who has provided endless encouragement and support throughout.

Without the expertise, encouragement and support of those people mentioned, it would not have been possible.

Once again, I would like to say a huge thank you for their professionalism and sympathetic attitude at all times.

Phillip Irving
