On Thursday the 23 rd of August I saw an oncologist who told me I need to have radiotherapy, every day for 6 weeks, followed by courses of chemotherapy, for the brain tumour, over the next year; as after two lots of surgery it has grown back. I was told that due to the type of tumour it is and where it is it cannot be cured. However, they are going to zap it to hopefully shrink it and manage it in that way as it will always grow back. Even though there is no cure it doesn’t mean that life has to stop and being positive is still something that I aim to do every day as this is how I cope.
One of the things that has given me pleasure over the past few years has been to take part in charitable pageants to raise awareness of international issues. I was recently sponsored for an award for being an international role model, which humbled me, I will continue to try to be worthy of this title.
I have been told my hair will fall out so have decided to shave my head for charity. My charity of choice is the Samaritans because they are there to listen; every 6 seconds a volunteer answers a call for help; their work is vital for people in need. It is particularly a great support for people with physical and mental health issues.
