It was a huge moment for Jason Clifton to be able to break the news of his cancer diagnosis to his young family.
He had decided to wait until after Christmas before telling his children of the battle which lay ahead. But, tragically, he was to receive heartbreaking news on the very same day. And even that was not the end of it for Jason and his family.
Jason, from Tumble in Carmarthenshire, received his devastating cancer news just three days before Christmas last year. Tests had revealed how he had a Squamous Cell Carcinoma - a type of cancer that develops in squamous cells, which are the thin, flat cells that make up the outermost layer of your skin - in his throat.
