    Wow, he looks so healthy - he’s put on weight, doesn’t look as flushed, and has a glimmer in his eyes that gives off this whole new aura around him. His story is such an inspiration. His son is so lucky to have him as a father.

    I had part of my face removed due to cancer and the most difficult part were the stares and comments off people, particularly at the start when everything looked raw. My son said I looked like Frankenstein's monster and said it was a shame it wasn't halloween at the time...lol He made me laugh so much I split my stitches and had to get further surgery ... bloody kids, eh! 😂..lol. I may have to get further surgery which means losing my eye and getting a prosthesis made for part of my face. I realise now it's nothing compared to others like yourself have gone through. Watching your story you've given me so much inspiration. I'm so glad you're doing well. You and your family are just amazing! Thank you for sharing your story. X ❤

    I lost the middle third of my top lip due to cancer, it is now giving me more lines around my mouth as Im now in my 60's I was 42 then. It actually looked amazing when the doc had done his magic on it, he was a real down to earth Yorkshire man and he said it how it was. I was so terrified how it was going to make me look, it's still not like the mouth I was born with but no one really notices too much, but it's more obvious now. I sort of can imagine how you felt/feel and that was only a very small part of my face. I hope you are managing well now and all goes well for you if you have had more ops done. It makes me realise mine is not so bad when I see others worse off than me, but as my doc said you hurt by what's happening to you, which is true. IIcan only say if you ever need someone to talk to, get in touch. The best of luck to you and I hope all is fine for you now. hugs xx Ann xx

    @@craftylittlerthings thank you for your lovely reply. I'm sorry you too went through a cancer trauma. I was lucky to have a fantastic maxillofacial surgeon on the NHS. Sounds like your guy was great too. The scars have healed really well although I've just started to get the sensation back on that side of face after nearly 8 years. The next face surgery is postponed for the foreseeable. I deal with auto immune disorder systemic lupus (which is why my skin is light sensitive) and at the moment it's attacking my heart. The heart surgery is my main focus right now. Thanks for your offer of a chat. You are so very kind. The offer is there from me to you too. 💕 We're survivors and tougher than we think. I'll be 53 in August so I'm not far behind you in age but I definitely think we're rocking it!! 🤘😁 Sending you best wishes. Stay strong beautiful xx

But it made me realize how strong you are, stronger than you know, the power of the indomitable human spirit, love, and the will to survive. It made me count my blessings and be thankful for so many little things I take for granted every single day. I'm tearing up just writing this LOL... Your son has a great role model and you've been an inspiration to me. Wishing you all the best. It can only get better and better from here on out. May God bless you and your family.

    I don't mean to sound superficial, i was so hoping that his face would eventually adjust. You know people had to be making remarks, and in the one documentary i saw they didn't really address the facial part as much as the limbs. Never in my life could i have imagined the damage strep a could cause. I have a friend who battled necrotiziing fasciitis a few years ago and came close to the point of leg amputation, and how that ravaged her body. She still has small recurrences of wound care, and i wonder with Alex, is there ever concerns of reoccurence? He and his family are incredible human beings, strong beyond any definition if the word.

    I can't believe how great Alex is looking, I haven't seen updates in a few years and I'm honestly so beyond impressed by his recovery. His speech is perfect, he uses the equipment he's got so smoothly even though he had to learn that stuff from scratch. It must've been such a battle, yet he makes it look so easy, which is an indication of just how much hard work he's had to put in. Big love to the whole family.
