I am extremely lucky, six months ago a tumour was removed from my left cheek and no radiotherapy or chemotherapy was required. I am on 8 week checks and so far I am NED. To celebrate our family would like to go on a cruise around the Greek Islands, but I am scared to book it! I am not confident that the cancer wont return and to book a holiday a year ahead seems like tempting fate. When did other people's confidence return?
