Kicking Cancers Butt 🎗

Firstly, I know it has been some time since I have written a blog post regarding my Cancer journey, but I felt now was the right time, so much has happened in such a short space of time, this will focus mainly on my mental health how I've always been so strong, when you can only be so strong for so long. But we will start from another big change in my life...  💔  If you're reading this means I finally plucked the courage to post it, so here we go.. ! The hospital stay.🏥 In June 2021 my world was again flipped upside down, and ever since has been a real struggle. It started with headaches that would make me very faint, I could barely look at my phone screen, Then i noticed what i thought was my "chemo rash" on my face, normally this wouldn't bother me but I was getting married in a MONTH!  So I was super annoyed that this was starting, I assumed my headaches and rash was all stress related, wedding is coming up, final plans in place so lit...

Hey 👋 I know it’s been a few months since my last blog, and to be honest it’s because I’m kicking cancers butt 💪  CML may be uncureable but I’m the showing Leukaemia who’s boss 🤗 Anyway, this blog entry is a nice mix of things, in it will be my past 2 Leukaemia results , 3 months and 6 months , for the people following my journey it helps let you know where I am at, also I asked all my close friends to write about what it was like/is like knowing I have Cancer..  as I know a few people who read my blogs don’t have cancer but have a loved one with cancer and say that my blog helps them understand/ feel better , so I thought I’d ask from an outsiders point of few how it feels so people know it’s normal/okay to feel they way they do with their loved ones, and I warn you they are all tear jerkers, so get the tissues ready, I’ve cried at every one of them, the love and Support I have is just incredible, pre warn you some paragraphs are long, but mean so much💕.

All my appointments I’ve been 3.0 - 4.0 , and when I was recently in hospital I was 0.something, far to low !  So 5.2 was good for my last count :D So on the 13th July it was 3 months on treatment which meant can finally get my bloods sent to Leeds (a cancer hospital) to get them looked at by professionals ect.
