"Dealing with cancer is like dealing with Covid-19, it is all unknown,” Rolleston cancer survivor Robert Manning said. Manning, 55, was diagnosed with throat cancer in February, and on March 1 he began intensive treatment of both radiation and chemotherapy for six weeks. Manning has remained positive throughout his cancer battle and plans to drive his Mini in a cancer charity run next year. "I want to share my story to help other people affected by cancer,” he said.
