Nichiless Dey is raising money for Lymphoma Action
Story
As you many know, in May 2015 I was diagnosed with an incurable, combination of low and high grade diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma - a blood cancer. I immediately had surgery to remove the enlarged nodes above the diaphragm and biopsies of those below. I then transferred to The Christie Hospital where a combination of superbly supported 'watch & wait', life affirming psycho-Oncology, and, in November 2016, a two-and-a-half week course of radiotherapy appears to have given me my life back. I'm now back doing the job I love; teaching physics and chemistry to,
ahem
, 'adoring' teens in an exceptional school. I am now about to commence the next stage of my new life - that of fatigue management and re-discovering what is possible.
With a burning desire to give something back to this outstanding charity, and ticking off a bucket-list item, I've decided face my doubts & fears head-on and attempt to cycle almost 700 miles in 8 days from London to Geneva. This who know me will realise that is something I could do with relative ease before the cancer ... now it may well be my Everest. Training has just begun after the medical go-ahead (and man-flu!). Recovery will be the key to getting through this. I will do it.
Please help fund this lifesaving charity by supporting me on my journey into the unknown. You're sponsorship will make a difference.
Thank you.
