00:00As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed
00:08my chemotherapy treatment.
00:12The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family.
00:16Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we've had to find a way to navigate the
00:21stormy waters and road unknown.
00:25The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those
00:33closest to you.
00:37With humility, it also brings you face-to-face with your own vulnerabilities, in a way you've
00:42never considered before.
00:45And with that, a new perspective on everything.
00:50Is this filming?
00:51Hello?
00:52Hello!
00:58This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple
01:05yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted, of simply loving
01:11and being loved.
01:14Doing what I can to stay cancer-free is now my focus.
01:21Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long,
01:28and I must continue to take each day as it comes.
01:33I am however looking forward to being back at work, and undertaking a few more public
01:38engagements in the coming months when I can.
01:42Despite all that's gone before, I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense
01:47of hope and appreciation of life.
01:56William and I are so grateful for the support we've received, and have drawn great strength
02:03from all those who are helping us at this time.
02:06Everyone's kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.
02:18To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey, I remain with you, side by
02:23side, hand in hand.
02:26Out of darkness can come light, so let that light shine bright.
