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💕.
