A Personal Message From Mike Peters

Hello my friends,

I hope you are all enjoying the best of times as the holiday season
approaches.

I have some very difficult news to share with you. Last Thursday on
the 8th December, I was diagnosed as having cancer. I have been told
by my consultant, Dr. E that I have Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
(CLL). The good news is that although my illness is not curable, it
is treatable and, in the words of Dr. E, it is a disease I will
probably die with, rather than of.

Obviously, this has come as a massive shock to me and my family,
especially as it is almost ten years to the day that I was
originally diagnosed with cancer (Non Hodgkins Lymphoma). In 1995,
no one really knew what had happened to me and how I had come to
be ‘cured’. Now, with the breaking of the DNA code and the huge
leaps in ‘understanding cancer’, that have happened since, I now
know far more about my situation. Ten years ago, it seems that my
own immune system supressed the cancer and I was able to go
into ‘remission’ for ten years. (A ‘good deal’, according to Dr. E!).

Love and life,

Mike Peters
