  • Life’s Tough Decisions And Why I’m Looking Up

    Hello dearest followers of my wacky yet wonderful blog posts! I have not written for a while because I have been busy visiting friends for a week, working and anticipating the results of the end of my chemotherapy. So apologies, but I am back with a lot to say as…

  • A special thank you…

    I really have been blessed these last few months despite all the trials I have had to overcome. The main reason for this post is to just say thank you to all my friends, family and acquaintances for their love and support. I would love to mention everyone that has…

  • Take a mess and make a message!

    I turn 20 next month. That seems somewhat bizarre. Saying goodbye to my teens. Looking back over what I’ve accomplished up until now though makes me smile. Bring on the next 20 is all I can say really! My thoughts of the day are really about how blessed we should all be despite…

  • Have I Got News For You

  • ABVD (Another Brave Victorious Day)

    The first time I went to the Oncology clinic I was nervous. I knew I was one step to finishing my treatment, but I had no idea what would be in store for me these next few months. I cried a lot. In the waiting room, in the toilets, in…

  • Bruce Almighty

    When I was first diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in January 2011, my world was forever changed. I had just settled in with some wonderful flat mates, my course at university was challenging but I was getting through the assignments with much success, my course mates were legendary,  I lived independently…

  • Have You Got A Bucket List?

    I have just read an article in The Sun about a 15 year old girl – Alice Pyne – who has been battling cancer for 4 years. She has Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, the same as me (although there are so many sub-types etc. that it is most likely not exactly the…
