The end of the half term was the start of round 4 of chemotherapy. After a disasterous first round of chemo when I ended up on a ward at the Christie – we upped my antisickness to combat the symptoms and allow me to carry on taking it. Now, when I said radiotherapy wasn’t so…

5 months no blog. Still alive, don’t worry 🙋🏻♀️ When I started this, sat in hospital In Manchester having just been diagnosed with a massive brain tumour and not knowing what the heck to do with myself, it was such great therapy for me. To get my thoughts out of my head – it helped…

I’ve got a two day break of radio now for Xmas and Boxing Day! That feels so nice but I can’t help but not feel Christmassy AT ALL. This year is obviously super different to any other Christmas I’ve had and it’s not what I anticipated for this year! So spending this morning at the…

106 days and I’ve still got things to say 😂. Well considering day 100 was NOT cool, I’ve felt good since then! I woke up the next day and basically just tried again. Wrote the bad day off as a one off. And I’ve managed to keep it up since which has been nice! I…

100 days since diagnosis today 😳 I can’t actually believe it’s been going on that long to be fair and that it’s still happening! Don’t get me wrong, a lot of positive stuff has happened in the last 100 days that I’m grateful for and proud to have endured and got through considering life was…

This week has been my first week of radio every single day. Somehow it’s genuinely been alright! I’ve had one morning of feeling like crap – and I’m super tired today.

Finally started my radiotherapy which weirdly feels SO GOOD. Just to be on the road to better health is gorgeous. My first few treatments made me super anxious but I feel like I’m over that now. It’s genuinely not that bad, so it doesn’t make me nervous anymore. I’m getting used to the mask that…

The last few days have been a mixture of radiotherapy induced anxiety one day and then being totally fine the next. I just HAVE to stay distracted. When I have a minute to myself to think – I could throw up. But if I keep myself busy, I’m calm and feel like I can do…

Up at five and I can’t even blame the babies, so blog time it is! This week has been a good one, my body feels so much stronger now, that I’ve even been able to get it off the sofa and out the house for some exercise! I’ve never exactly been a big gym goer…

Today, me and Oll had my last appointment at the Christie in Manchester (for a while). That feels good. I will be transferred over to the Macclesfield Christie now for my treatment which starts a week today! We went in to sign consent for the treatment today and they went through potential side effects and…
