I was diagnosed with having stage 4 cancer in January 2013.
I had 2 operations and 7 months of chemotherapy.
Since that date I have been given the diagnosis of further cancer in my abdominal cavity, Which is terminal.
I decided to do my tried and tested method of coping, by making as many jokes and looking for the lighter side of what can only be described as a giant pile of poo!
I have started a new lot of chemotherapy to try and prolong life.
Now we've got that rubbish out of the way, I can tell you about me. And not my diagnosis. You see, the cancer is not who I am. It is not the first thing I want people to see. Why? You dont look at someone and do the 'oh poor you' headtilt when talking to someone who may or may not have a water infection!
I was born 26th August 1978. Which makes me **?! years old!
I live in Leicester with my partner and our 1 year old little boy (who is gorgeous!)
I am a virgo (if that interests you?!)
I often get asked for ID when buying alcohol or a paint scrapper from Wilkinsons....long story! Who knew you had to be over 16 to buy a paint scraper! I mean, what do they think you're going to do with it. Start on a rampage of redecorating peoples houses?!
I did look quite young before all this rubbish started but I fear that now I am just little and wrinkled!
