Cancer who?
26 October 2023
So sorry with how long it has been since my last update, the last 3 months have been incredibly difficult to say the least! I switched over to some new chemo drugs for the last 4 rounds and my body did not handle them well, with frequent low blood counts and a few rounds in hospital, I was feeling pretty low and tired and to be honest very much over the whole thing. We were all very eager for that last round of chemo in mid September to be done. My body held up ok thankfully and I was able to get surgery done last week to finally get rid of the problem areas and see how well the treatment has gone.
Yesterday we got the results and the best news imaginable, that my cancer has for all sense and purposes, been cured! It is an outcome that I was hoping like hell for, but not expecting this early, when I haven’t had radiation yet. Lots of tears were shed and last night we had a couple of cheeky bubbles to celebrate.
The last 6 months were harder than I ever could have imagined and at times I really didn’t know how I would get through. I’m not sure I could have without the support of my incredible partner, family, friends, and children, who kept me from losing track of who I am and kept me looking forward.
I also want to thank every single one of you who donated to help fund my treatment. Without your help, it would have been very difficult to get all of the rounds that I needed, and I am confident they have saved my life, so from both myself and Sam, thank you all very much xx
