Thirteen years on from having non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, he feels that his ongoing lack of strength...
The biggest side effect, I suppose, is the lack of strength. We did a lot of renovation work on the various houses that we’ve owned, and I can remember the times when my sons used to come to me and say, “Dad, can you move this for me please?” Or, “Can you pick this up?” And I’d go along and pick up a flaming great big boulder, not thinking anything about it at all, I’d just do it, it was part of the renovation. But these days I actually have to wait until my sons come down, and say “Can you lift that for me please?” I can’t do it anymore and that is frustrating. I’ve tried swimming and moving weights around but I don’t seem to get any stronger, it’s just one of the things I think I have to accept that I can’t do it, you know. I’m still breathing, what have I got to be sorry for?
