Life is a rollercoaster 🎢
This last week has been challenging to understand. But the downlow is that cancer has sprung its mighty whirlwind force on me.
Since January this year once every two weeks or so I felt bloated. And then in April I was feeling sick. Again once every 2 to 3 weeks. I could put it down nervous as I was expecting a new born. I went to see the doctor and he said it’s likely inflammation in my bowl. So advised a more simple plain diet. Which I was currently on. So I followed those instructions. But alas not alot made a difference.
My symptoms were mild abit of pain in the upper section in my stomach and sometimes in that two week 3 week window I sick this time over the course of an day. These symptoms would disappear completely the next day and I would feel fine for few weeks.
I contacted the doctor surgery this time I had to lie to get appointment and say I was sick everyday which I wasn’t but I still had this bloating feeling.
At the beginning of august I got to see a doctor that examined me and thought possibly said it’s gallstones. So booked me in to utrasound and blood test.
At the end of august I had my utrasound scan that revealed something to radiology doctor. So a CT scan was then booked that has now shown and revealed that I have bowl cancer between both my smaller and larger bowl. Everything was functioning as normal.
So I had to do a endoscopy procedure last week to show what we are dealing with. It didn’t look too bad and chemotherapy was what we are looking at to treat this.
But this week I had appointment with Dr soulitna to which was only lead to real bad news my liver has taken on a lot on the cancer and is unlikely to be treatable.
I start chemotherapy on Monday. And today I had bic line installed my arm. To which I hated. (I have a huge phobia to needles, blood tests anything to do with going to hospital)
I’m still remaining calm and positive. But naturally gutted as life right now has been great. I’m ever so thankful to have made it this far and I have the best family I could ever dream for.
How am I feeling right now. I feel normal no symptoms at all and it’s been great for the last month. I just thought i should let you know as I wouldn’t want anyone going through this.
I wasn’t expecting it all to come crashing down with this.
I’m going to fight my hardest to beat this. As I love every day I get to see Amber Benneyworth and our beautiful children. ♥️
