Cancer: Welsh TV presenter Mari Grug gets ‘best news possible’

“It’s two clear scans in a row on the liver, which is good news,” she said.

“It’s great and positive and a step in the right direction – but you never know with cancer.

“For anyone who knows and understands cancer, there is bound to be a micro disease somewhere or some cells that haven’t shown themselves.

“I’ve had my breast and lymph nodes out on the left side and I’ve had a clear mammogram on the other breast – so these are the best possible results in terms of what’s with me.”

After a year of chemotherapy, breast removal surgery and then radiotherapy, Mari now receives a Phesgo, external injection every three weeks at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen to manage the type of cancer she has.

Since hearing the news of the two clear scans, Mari said she was looking forward to a three-month break from cancer therapy.

“It’s a nice time to have no treatment and have time to process things,” she said.

“My body has been through so much in a year,” she said.

“They want to scan my liver every three months for two years.

“If nothing has grown within the two years they say I will have had a total response to the treatment.

“Because the science and medicine is still so new they’ve said they’re not sure what to do next.

“Hearing that when you go to an appointment… you don’t want to hear that from an expert. But again, I take this as great news.”
