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?

00:52Hello?

00:53Hello!

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.

01:13Doing 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

01:47sense of 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.

02:17To 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.

02:29So let that light shine bright.

02:36I love you.

02:39I love you.

02:42I love you.

02:45I love you.

02:48I love you.

02:51I love you.

02:54I love you.

02:57I love you.
