Some of you may have realised that I haven’t uploaded a blog in quite some time. I can only apologise for my absence but I’m sure most of you, if not all of you, will understand. In a quick synopsis: I’ve been on holiday to Spain, I’ve passed my driving test, Christmas happened, I’ve upped…
No, this isn’t about my love life… Most of you might know that I was diagnosed with supra-ventricular tachycardia if you don’t know then I suggest you read my blog or carry on blind… up to you. Anyhow, I and my cardio team decided that I should finish my cancer treatment and wait until I…
I’ve been trying to live my life after being diagnosed (and put into remission) with lymphoma. The more I look back, the further away it feels… but a simple reminder can take me back to that dark place instantly. I haven’t been avoiding the cancer circus, but trying to live a life where I don’t…
Disclaimer: I’m not the best selfie-taker. Disclaimer 2: I’m not glammed up for any of these photos. I’m aware that I look tired in some of these, who can blame me though, right? I shaved my hair off almost a year ago now (June 2018): due to chemotherapy, and my hair started growing back a…
One year ago today I received confirmation of my cancer diagnosis; primary mediastinal large diffuse b-cell lymphoma. I’ve completed the most awful, horrific, and brutal treatments over the past year, I honestly wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. 1 cancer diagnosis 1 bronchoscopy/biopsy 1 collapsed lung 2 weeks in hospitals 2 days in intensive…
Losing my hair to cancer was a massive shock to me… for some reason, it didn’t cross my mind that I would lose my hair until they mentioned it to me. You lose your identity, and cancer takes that away from you. But fear not, once I braved the shave, I never looked back. We’re…
An uncontrolled state of mind, the intoxicating sobriety and the induced anxiety. The feeling of the unknown is bliss, but both are brutally co-existing. The evil and the good, tugging the rope of war, battling the thoughts inside my brain. Push and they pull, tethering the nervousness. Picking me apart like pigeons in a park.…
The first thought that ran through my mind when the doctor mentioned that I needed a PICC line was: what on earth is a picc line? I didn’t bother asking at this point as I knew it was happening just before I get discharged from the ward and that was in a few days. It…
I’ve been contemplating writing this blog ever since I was diagnosed. It’s a subject that actually means a lot to me, and it’s been playing on my mind for quite some time. Any life threatening situation can have a massive impact on your mental health and it’s so important that we talk about that and…
No person should ever have to experience cancer and all of the downs it brings. But with any life experience; there’s always something valuable you can learn from it. I definitely wouldn’t recommend cancer to anyone… it would get 0 stars on yelp from me, alongside a very negative review – it would probably look…
