But I’m 54, and my dad died of cancer in his 50s, so that shadow came down on me hard.My eldest son was doing A-levels at the time, so we didn’t tell him at first. I felt as if I’d stepped across some irreversible Rubicon that you hear about happening to other people, but never imagine will actually come for you. Continue reading...
