Perth Now Sunday Times is featuring a story with a surprise and happy ending. Four years ago, Nick Close was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent a year of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Close was warned that he might suffer infertility as a result of treatment. After treatment it was determined he was sterile and incapable of fathering any children. What are you going to do other than accept the reality and move on.

Off on holiday Nick and his wife Sarah Millais-Close go, and during the extended working holiday Sarah tells Nick she feels she might be pregnant. Nick, thinking this an impossibility, told her not to even waste money on a pregnancy test.

Fast forward, and Nick and Sarah Millais-Close are the proud parents of now 15-week-old baby Charles. In the world of cancer, the dark news is abundant and can be wearing on the spirit in the constant telling. Good news, less ample, is always a joy to hear and share. Isn't baby Charlie an absolute cutie! Looks like a very happy family indeed.
