Hello!! I’m not sure if anyone is still looking at this? But I thought I would do an update! It’s been a good 7 weeks since my treatment finished, I’m not sure where the time goes!! I’m doing well, my mouth has nearly almost healed, I still have a few problems at the back of my mouth which need to be sorted by the removal of my wisdom teeth!! Unfortunately I can’t have this done until February, but after that my mouth should be totally better, I cannot wait!! Otherwise I’m doing well, I’m still quite tired, but it is getting better. I’ve been enjoying lots of time recuperating and resting, spending lots of time at home in Thirsk. I have been back to Liverpool a bit and have thoroughly enjoyed catching up with friends! My friends have been such a great support the last few months, I’m very grateful to you guys!! and of course its been great to spend time with Kev properly again, he’s wonderful!!
Life after cancer is hard, I have felt a little left on my own at times. You go from being constantly fussed over and looked after by nurses and doctors to being left to fend for yourself at home which can be quite daunting. When I was having my treatment it was something to focus on and I felt like I was doing something positive to help, but now I just have to sit and wait and see what happens which is hard. I want to be doing something, but there is nothing I can do!
The teenage cancer trust have been fantastic and I’m so glad I found them. There workers have kept in touch checking up on me and I went for dinner with them and lots of other young people affected by cancer. It was great to meet up with other people who understand what I’ve been going through and to catch up with some of the guys I was in hospital with!!
Thanks again for everyone reading this and everyone who has supported me!
Much love xxxxxxxxxxxxx
