Not going just yet

Finally got hold of my consultant and sat down with him.

I'll keep it simple, basically I've been told that I'm in remission (in control) of my tumour. It hasn't disappeared from my lungs, liver or kidneys however it's a microscopic size which is controllable in a sense, so there is no need for chemo just regular 3 weekly maintenance drugs which is followed by a CT scan every 3 months just to keep an eye on it. As the doctor put, so called 16 months has now been reset, so it could be 3, 4, 20, even 30 years.

I do still have a huge tumour in my stomach which they can't remove and unfortunately it will be the death of me one day, or could come back aggressively.

But I'm not planning on going anywhere soon, I now intend to get back to reaching 30 and taking my nieces and nephews to Glastonbury when they're 18 years old.

It's been a bit mental this whole journey and it would of never got to this point without YOU, my friends, my family and Naomi.

All YOUR positivity has kept me alive...

So thank you.
