Meeting presenter was a dream come true

AS you will all remember from last week I had to have an emergency operation for a new Hickman Line. Well it was a success. The new line finally works and I was able to have my chemo. To be honest I was dreading going for my treatment because deep down I thought knowing my luck it wouldn’t work again and the operation would have been pointless.

The rest of my week has been hectic. On Saturday after my operation I went to my boyfriends 21^st birthday party. I managed to get my best dress and dancing shoes on and have a good time despite being dosed up on the anaesthetic from the operation and painkillers to help my chest.

A few days after my chemo I fell ill. This hit me hard because I haven’t yet been ill from my treatment and suddenly I was. I had a mouth infection and had white blisters all over my tongue and mouth, so I was unable to talk, eat or drink without it been very painful. It was horrible. I was feeling rubbish from the infection and wasn’t eating or drinking and because of that I felt even worse and sick. It got that bad I almost passed out in Tesco when I was shopping with my Mum. I am a lot better now but not looking forward to my next treatment in case it happens again.

On Good Friday my dreams were made true when I met and had coffee with my idol Anna Richardson. Anna is the presenter for Supersize vs Superskinny on Channel Four. I was originally interviewing her for my dissertation at University but when everything with the cancer happened that all changed, but she still wanted to meet up with me. I was on cloud nine for the rest of that day after having had the best time ever.

For Easter I went away for a few days with my family to the Peak District. It was a lovely break and a chance to not think about the cancer, and I had good time apart from all the rainy weather. I hope you all got some yummy Easter Eggs. I got a nice handbag and the new Twilight DVD. I am not a big fan of chocolate.

It’s my Mum’s 48^th birthday at the end of this week so we are off for a lovely meal to Après in Lichfield. I am undecided on what to have to eat. I can’t choose between a pizza or the fajitas, I like them both. I’ll let you know next week what I picked.
