Does a bear shit in the woods?

So as of today 03-02-2020.

 No.
More.
Chemotherapy.

 I am done! 

 This all stems down to a few things!

  1. My neuropathy is not improving! I still have pins and needles in every finger!
  2. I’ve done more cycles then planned!
  3. Skin rashes getting very bad and uncomfortable!
  4. Infection after infection after infection!
  5. Shrinkage is now under 1cm!
  6. I anxiously am thinking about myself and my wedding.. Times getting closer, please don’t prolong my treatment if there is no reason for it! 
  7. But mostly neuropathy and skin rashes are getting bad. 
She did point out that my last bloods that were taken on 20-01-2020 showed that my neutrophils (type of white blood cell) were non existent! Which explains a lot regarding infections! So she said that they wouldn’t of done any more treatment until that had improved. I had more bloods done today, so hopefully there is an improvement! 

So she has now ticked the button of ready for surgery!!!!!! EEEKKKKK!

As I had to go and have more bloods done, my usual lady asked if I needed my dressing changed. Much to my sadness of not seeing her again I said no, I'm now discharged! To which she was excited and let out a shriek & then asked if I wanted my PICC removed!

Does a bear shit in the woods? 

And wooooosh, out it came! 

I felt like a new woman, albeit feeling a bit weird when she removed it I now have a free arm! I cannot wait to have a bath with both arms under the water!

Then there was one

Sometimes life just kicks you back down when you get better and start to climb that hill.  It all started on Tuesday 24th March. I woke up feeling okay. Not brilliant. But okay. Erin and I had breakfast and then we did some dancing around the front room like Zumba style. Nothing exciting, but embracing this lockdown. She then went up for her morning nap. I went for a lay down and was doing my puzzle. Woke up a few hours later, and felt like my head had been squashed in a vice.  That night the chills started, I felt nauseous and sick and I felt cold, but my core was warm. Feet and hands like ice. No other symptoms. I started panicking that I had the Coronavirus, but was reassured that I didn’t. I went to bed at 7 and woke up at 9:30pm. Took some paracetamol and then went back to sleep.  Wednesday 25th March  Today I felt awful, my body hurt. I felt sick and kept trying to be sick but nothing was coming up. I had some plain toast, but that didn’t last lon...

I suppose I better start off and explain a bit about me before I start blabbering on.  I’m Kayleigh! *wave!* I’m 28 years old, about to be 29! 😬 I have a wonderful fiancé, who I have been with (fb official) since 31-12-2015! We are due to get married on 28-07-2020. We have a beautiful baby girl called Erin Olivia, who was born on 31-07-2017, 2 years exactly to the date her father and I had our first date!  This is my family unit, James, Erin and Myself. This photo was taken on 08-09-2019 in a little family walk in the woods! James and my relationship, started off as nothing but a bit of fun back in 2015, we used to lark around together and conveniently bump into each other in the same pub and end up staying on out late together.  Things started changing when in the December 2015, I kept having issues with bleeding after ‘you know’ which was uncommon for me. I reached out to my GP, who performed my first smear test. The results of that came back a bit dodgy...

Pathology Results

-
Complete  Pathological  response.  Aka The disappearance of all signs of cancer in response to treatment. Chemotherapy shrunk the cancer lump I found.  The purpose of the surgery was to remove every bit of breast tissue that was left and there was no sign of any cancer.  She removed a big chunk of lymph nodes as precaution and only 1 out of 12 of them had cancer which was the one we knew about.  Aka I kicked cancers arse. Where’s the cider?
