Quite a Journey...

I can’t quite believe that eight years today I received my last chemo treatment. It was a hard slog.. As you can tell I was totally exhausted and pumped with chemo.. meds and steroids. 

It really took its toll on me.. as you can see from the two pics of me in the blue shirt.. Taken just over six months apart.. my last walk before the pain got too much.. I had surgery and then the treatment …

and then my first walk after..

Same shirt.. same smile .. no hair.. but also no cancer

But here we are eight years later.. I beat the diagnosis of the cancer returning within a year.. and I’ve smashed the five year life expectancy.

I couldn’t have done it without all the support I received from wonderful friends and family. For anyone in the same position I would just encourage you to NEVER give up hope. I did everything the doctors recommended.. and never lost my Faith. I refused to believe that the Lord had brought me so far from such unhappiness to wonderfully happy life.. just to snatch it all away

Keep strong my fellow cancer warriors… keep fighting cos you’ve got this!!!

Love and Hugs
