Ali Carter has revealed he will soon be returning to competitive action after finishing an intensive course of chemotherapy for lung cancer.

The two-time World Championship runner-up was diagnosed with lung cancer in May. Carter, who also suffers from Crohn's disease, also recovered from testicular cancer less than a year ago.

Hi people, not been on here much, been busy getting myself better! I have now finished my chemotherapy and things are really positive!
