Good news!
Today I had my follow up appointment at the clinic and received the news we've all been waiting for (*spoiler alert* it's bloody awesome news):
LARRY HAS WELL AND TRULY SODDED OFF! ACTUALLY WELL. AND. TRULY.
I'm writing that in capitals because I would really love to shout it, in fact I might do just that. Goodbye Larry! Ciao! Adiós! Arrivederci! Auf wiedersehen! Sayonara! Aloha (the goodbye version of aloha obviously) - and don't come back! Big thanks to Google translate for those.
Plus, remember those pesky lymph nodes? I personally remember as thanks to those bad boys I am rocking two beautiful scars instead of one. Well, it appears that they disliked Larry too and declined his invite to the cancer party. That's right! No cancer in my lymph nodes, which means at this exact moment in time (and hopefully forevermore) I am cancer free.
Now, before you all rush round my house and throw me a big surprise party (which you're totally welcome to do - just not tonight, I'm busy tonight) there is a little bit extra to inform you all; they have decided that because I am a 27 year old, (reasonably) healthy woman with minimal family history it is still recommended that I have chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Which means I need to go down the whole fertility clinic, egg harvesting thing first too. So we're not out of the woods yet team, I'm still playing (and winning) cancer treatment bingo, and I for one cannot wait for my prize - in fact, if it's that I come out the other end with all my hair still on my head then that is enough for me! Not my leg hair though, I could do without shaving for a while.
In summary - lots of yay, some meh. As Bon Jovi very eloquently put it:
"Hey, man, I'm alive. I'm takin' each day and night at a time...
...I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night."
I hope you all are feeling the Saturday night vibes though, hopefully I'll be joining you soon.
Love, Meg xx

ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear about the result! The gene runs in the family so it's a matter close to home for me. Thank you for creating such a lovely, witty blog on what is an extremely tough set of circumstances to go through.
My thoughts are with you and I wish you all the luck in the world.
Great news! It is so happy to hear you beat cancer; a couple of years ago my family lost a close neighbor to it.

ReplyDeleteYour brother shared your success with us on the youtube. I am really glad to hear that everything went well. Keep on fighting and don't let anything similar come close!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! From what I have read you seems to be really strong and positive person, not letting this condition to defeat you (mentally or physically) is something that few people are able to achieve. For the future I wish you many great years of well-being and happiness. Also Thank you for being an example for many others in similar conditions. Always keep your smile up :)
