Not a Mark Williams fan but I hate this news. All the best to Mark and I hope he can make a full recovery.

Cancer sucks!

Best wishes Choc.

The positive news is, with the 2 types of blood cancer (Hodgkins and Non Hodgkins), the survival rates are 87% and 71% respectively. Got to take positives where you can I suppose.
