“So… I have cancer.. But cancer doesn’t have me! The prognosis is very positive and I’m hoping to be back with you in October.
“Until then, I’ve been told to give my voice a rest and leave you in the mostly capable hands of JK and Amanda. Huge thanks to them and all the Global Family who have been unbelievably supportive.
“Be thankful for this day, and when I see you next, I’ll have a great story to tell… Jamie x
