Bonehead revealed via Twitter on Saturday (June 25) that he has “finished my course of treatment, 30 radiotherapy sessions and two chemotherapy”, adding that he is “feeling the pain right now” but is in recovery and “things can only get better from here”.

He went on to thank his medical team at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust for making the process “so much easier, I’ll forever look back at what you all do with a hand on my heart”.

Bonehead also revealed that he is scheduled for a scan at the “end of September to check all’s well, but for now it’s into recovery mode,” adding that he’ll be facing a “couple of tough weeks ahead yet but I’ll get there”.

In May, Bonehead shared an update following his first course of treatment, writing: “I had my first session of radiotherapy this morning and am now having a course of chemotherapy which will finish at 6am, so it’s an overnight stay at the Christie Hospital”.
