After that MRI Scan, I had an appointment to meet with Sucheta, to talk about how the second round of chemotherapy had gone and what would come next. As you can imagine, I was feeling quite nervous. Had the chemotherapy done its job? Would I have to more of it? Also, what comes next? Me …
Finishing Chemotherapy
Finally! It was my last go at chemotherapy, well I hoped so at least. The last time I thought it was the last time I was told I would have to do another six months of it. I really was hoping and praying that this time would be the last time. Since I had already …
The Cancer Card
It was my first day back at college. I was feeling nervous and apprehensive, walking in alone, without my friends felt weird. I had now chosen my subjects which were Media, English Language and Psychology. Having heard things about a lot of different courses from my friends, helped me to make this decision. I avoided …
Back to College
So, as I said, in my previous post, What Happens Next, it was time to start thinking about going back to college. A meeting had been set up between myself, Mum and Judith, the head of the second year at the college, so me and Mum went off to go to this meeting. When I arrived, it …
What happens next?

Hair
One thing that is famously related to having chemotherapy is the loss of hair, bald people with scarves wrapped around their heads. This wasn't something I thought of when I was told I had to have chemotherapy, but as soon as I started to realise it was happening, I worried about it a lot. Before …
Chemotherapy Part 2
Chemotherapy was a tough treatment to have. Having thought that radiotherapy was tough enough, I realised that that was easy peasy compared to the chemo treatment I was currently going through. Every chemotherapy treatment would last for one week in every four. During the week in which I was taking the chemo treatment I felt …
Chemotherapy
After those lovely few weeks that I had off from treatment it was back to it again. Me and Mum were sitting in Sucheta's office listening to her talk about how the treatment would commence. When I thought of chemo, I pictured someone sitting in a hospital chair hooked up to a machine that would …
After Radiotherapy
The six weeks were over, radiotherapy was over, not being able to walk or talk was over. Ok so I still wasn't too steady on my feet, but I could now get myself out of bed, off the sofa etc, which to me made me feel so much better than I did when radiotherapy started. …
