Dave Jackson
Many people will not have known that for the past two years Dave Jackson, previous District Commissioner, was being treated for Prostate Cancer. This treatment was successful and following the expected course. Relatively suddenly, after the Fellowship Quiz, Dave developed severe pain in his lower back and was rushed to hospital the next day.
It turned out that the cancer had moved into the base of Dave’s spinal cord, leaving him without any feeling in, or the use of, his legs. The doctors are confident that this cancer can be relatively easily treated with hormones and steroids, and that is currently the case. However, for the foreseeable future he will be in a wheelchair.
Dave returned home just before Christmas. At the moment he cannot stand or walk, but with long term physio both are realistic goals. He would like to thank everyone for their support and help over this testing time, and we continue to wish him well.
