That was the signal that I’m gonna survive. That night, I didn’t sleep. I went through that whole night and woke up saying 'this is it. I’m not going to cry over this'. This is the last bit of it, and I’m going to take it head-on, and I'm gonna make the most of it. And quite frankly, after that, we did treat it like a Holiday in the US with chemotherapy thrown in."
