“Very happy to hear this man! Good on you Bonehead,” wrote one.

Bonehead was diagnosed with tonsil cancer earlier this year and went public with his situation on August 24 via social media.
He tweeted: “Today I finished my course of treatment, 30 radiotherapy sessions and two chemotherapy. I’m feeling the pain right now, but I’m in recovery and things can only get better from here.”
“I can’t thank the team who supported and treated me at The Christie enough. Doctors, Radiographers, dieticians, speech and language. You all really made it so much easier. I’ll forever look back at what you all do with a hand on my heart. Thank you massively.”
He then told his fans that he would be “back for a scan at the end of September” to “check all is well,” but for now he was taking some time and entering “recovery mode” as there was set to be “a couple of tough weeks ahead”.
Determined to beat the cancer, Bonehead assured his followers that “he will get there”.
