    During his period of waiting for surgery, Dennis Barry says his "three lovely daughters" were "trying to reassure me and stay positive".

    "I'm not saying it's on your mind 24/7 - you forget about it halfway through the day and then in the evening you sit down maybe have a sandwich or watching the TV and all of a sudden it'll just come back to you 'oh dear, what if I do have cancer?'."

    Mr Barry, who lives in Lode, in Cambridgeshire, now says following the lockdown and his cancer scare he is back doing what he loves most - sea fishing.

    "About two weeks ago I went to the beach with the wife to do a bit of fishing. It really chills you out, you forget about everything and concentrate on what you're doing."
