1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. On this day, twelve months ago,

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: John Farnham underwent a twelve hour surgery in Melbourne to

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: remove a cancerous tumor from his mouth, along with the

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: reconstructive plastic surgery that follow it. Since then, John has

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: been in and out of rehabilitation care that's included eight

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: weeks of radiation treatment and supplementary surgical procedures as a

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: result of various complications and issues, including infections, that presented

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: over the past year.

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Then last month in July, John, this is extraordinary,

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: wonderful news. John was formerly given confirmation by his medical

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: team that he is all clear of cancer.

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: Wow.

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: So to mark the anniversary of his initial surgery, John

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: Farnham has issued a statement. Let's read it because it's

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: just wonderful news. He said, I'm the luckiest man I

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: know right now. It's been a year since my first surgery,

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: and to be honest, I've lost count of how many

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: other procedures there's been since then. I'm sure someone's kept

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: track of them. Let's just say there's been a few.

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: But I'm home now and I'm very grateful and a

21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: very happy man. I'm sitting here in my living room,

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: lapping up the attention from my beautiful wife Jill, my

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: boys Rob and James, and my mini schnauz are Edmund.

24
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: I only now, it's only now I can start to

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: appreciate and comprehend for myself how many messages of love

26
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: and support have been sent to me over the past year.

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say other than thank you

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: so very much. It honestly means the world to me.

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: Thank you to everyone who took the time to write

30
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: and send a message. Today's a special day. I'm going

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: to market by having a pizza because I can, and

32
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what might be next on

33
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: the menu. Bring on twenty twenty four. This is brilliant,

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 2: brilliant news, wonderful news.
