Since announcing his cancer had returned, after 33 years in remission in February, Mark has been candidly sharing his journey with his followers.
"Here’s one of the reasons I journal my cancer journey online, and it’s summed up in this message I received a while back from a follower: "I didn’t want to get out of bed today. I read your post and stood up.'
"If my posts encourage just one person to find the inner strength to face another day, it’s all worthwhile,” he wrote.
