Considering how much I went on about HAVING cancer during treatment, somehow I’ve been so nervous to post that I am now in REMISSION!!!!!!!! This isn’t going to be my final hospital outfit, because I’m going to be back and forth being closely monitored for a long time, but it IS the look I wore when I found out there was No Evidence of Disease at my scan results appointment a few weeks ago!!!!!! (Fingers crossed that’s IT and it’s fucked off forever 💋)
I’d love to say I really did kick cancer’s ass in a cunty little kitten heel but it was definitely all down to the amazing team at
@nhsbartshealth . Over the course of the last eight months(!!!) I’ve been taken care of by so many incredible people (who I’d say were around 95% women – slay) and I could not be more grateful for their expertise, skill, and kindness, and for making me laugh more than I ever thought I would while being treated for such a shit disease.
I also can’t thank
@laurenmarydavidson enough for making me feel so loved and supported through it all. From the first spreadsheet she set up to make sure I had someone to keep me company at every single appointment – from the chemo penthouse to the radiation bunker – to the final consultation where we found out this bit was over, I could not have done it without her by my side. And to my friends – everyone who came to appointments with me, checked in on me, hyped me up, sent endless memes, picked up groceries for me, dropped me off and drove me home from hospital – it was impossible to ever have my spirits knocked for very long thanks to you icons 🩷🥹💕
Since August last year there hasn’t been a single waking minute gone by where my brain’s not been like “yeah, but you’ve got cancer”, even when I’m having the nicest time, and while there’s still A LOT to deal with in the aftermath (hi menopause lmao), a lot of it is already fading into the background. Multiple times a day it sneaks back up on me and goes “WHAT THE FUCK WAS ALL THAT ABOUT??????” and that basically sums it up. Truly, what the fuck was all that about????
