    I’m sat in the hospital patiently waiting to go up to the ward. Had my COVID test, which I will admit was uncomfortable and made me sneeze uncontrollably! But it always better Ito be safe. 
    My operation is booked for tomorrow, then it’s a long journey to recovery, I’m just so grateful that they found it early enough that surgery will remove all the cancer..

    So I got the news and it was a lot better than expected. The tumour is small and they have caught it early enough. They are going to operate and remove it and even better they can do it via key hole surgery.. 

    The appointment is on Tuesday, I have my COVID test on Monday, so I need that to be negative.. 

    I’m absolutely terrified about it, having to be away from my family, my baby, but happy that it’s been caught early enough…

    Thinking of you all who are good through this, just remember you are strong and you have everyone…

    I’m very anxious about it, especially with the world the way it is.

    Friday, I had a call with the cancer nurse who told me that it could be 3 weeks till I hear about my treatment plan. This hit me quite hard and I struggled for the rest of the day. I just kept thinking why me, what did I ever do t deserve this. I wasn’t going to let this ruin my weekend with my babies. SO...Today was incredible. I decided that I wasn’t going to let the cancer rule my life.. so I thought before my treatment…
