"For me, a glutton, losing my appetite was awful, a can of soup was about as far as I could go.
"Now I've got to the point where I'm at the weight I want to be, and I want to maintain it."
Dave has previously opened up on the side effects of chemotherapy, telling Kaye Adams: "By God, the chemotherapy doesn't half age you quickly. Your balance goes, so for someone with a motorbike that's a disaster, and my walking has been affected quite a lot, really."
