THE PET SCAN-CRAZIEST DAY EVER

 I'VE BEEN ON THE GO SINCE 6 SOMETHING IN THE MORNING AND IT WAS REALLY RUSHED. I HAD TO GO TO THE ROYAL FOR SOMETHING AND THEN TO GLENFIELD FOR THE REALLY COOL PET SCAN THING. THE ONLY ISSUE WE HAD WAS FINDING PARKING. ON THE WAY THERE WE HAD AMAZING CONVERSATIONS IT WAS JUST NORMAL AND HOW IT SHOULD BE STRAIGHT UP WITH A LOT OF EXPLANATIONS ALONG THE WAY. I GOT THERE AND WENT IN THIS WAITING AREA TO FILL OUT SOME SUPER LONG FORM. WE WENT IN A ROOM FOR BLOODS AND THE CANNULA AND THE NURSE EXPLAINED THE PROCESS OF THE DYE BEING PUT IN WITH AN INJECTION OF RADIATION AND IT WAS REALLY WEIRD AT FIRST BUT I GOT TAKEN INTO A ROOM AND THE NURSE EXPLAINED THAT THE SCAN WILL BE FROM THE HEAD TO THE THIGH. 

A FEW SECONDS LATER I WAS TAKEN TO A CHILLING OUT ROOM WHERE I GOT GIVEN THE RADIATION AND THE NURSE EXPLAINED MY MOM HAD TO LEAVE THE ROOM DUE TO HIGH LEVELS OF RADIATION AND IT CAN AFFECT ANOTHER PERSON SUCH AS A CHILD OR A PREGNANT PERSON. AFTER THE BLOODS AND THAT THE NURSE TOOK THE CANNULA OUT AND I WENT INTO ANOTHER ROOM AND HAD TO LIE DOWN ON A BED IN FRONT OF THE MACHINE. THE DOC PUT ME IN THE MACHINE AND THERE WERE A LOT OF FLASHING LIGHTS INSIDE AND I WAS SO CALM AND RELAXED I LOVED THE FACT THAT THE MACHINE WAS SO QUIET SO I COULD JUST RELAX WHILE BREATHING IN AND OUT I ALMOST FELL ASLEPP IN THE MACHINE. I WENT HOME AND LIED DOWN UNTIL 5 SOMETHIING AND WENT BACK TO THE HOSPITAL AND I HAD SOME BLOODS TAKEN AND MY BLOOD WASN'T EVEN COMING OUT PROPERLY BUT IT DID. THEN I GOT GIVEN INFORMATION ABOUT THE LINE AND OTHER MEDS THAT I NEED TO TAKE WHILE MY TREATMENT HAPPENS. 

IN THE MORNING THE NURSE WAS USING A NEEDLE AND TRIED TO PUT THE CANNULA IN MY HAND AND SHE WAS MOVING THE NEEDLE AROUND SO MUCH. IT WAS SUPER PAINFUL AND I REALLY ENJOY BLOOD TESTS. I LOOK AT THE BLOOD AND EVERYTHING. A LOT OF BLOOD CAME OUT FROM MY VEIN AND THE DOC HAD TO USE GAUZE AND SOME COLD STUFF TO NUMB THE PAIN. SHE PUT A PLASTER ON TOP OF IT ALL IN A CRISS CROSS WAY. I GOT REALLY EXCITED CUZ THE NURSE LOVED MY CROCS. I GOT HOME AND JUST STAYED AWAY FROM EVERYONE AS I DIDN'T WANT TO INFECT ANYONE WITH RADIATION. IT WAS A REALLY FULL ON DAY YESTERDAY. I AKSED THE NURSE ABOUT MY LINE AND THE ECHO THING WHICH IS A JELLY TEST ON YOUR HEART. THAT'S ON MONDAY AT 10 AM. WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. 

I'LL LEAVE YOU GUYS TO KEEP READING!

    I hate when they keep moving around the needle to find the vein! Being in and out of hospital must be really tiring but it's good to see them processing your treatment quickly. Take care x

    Haha I like to look at the blood when they're taking it out too! Strange but I can't look away.. Glad you don't have a fear of needles otherwise this may have been more difficult for you.. Overall you sound very brave and positive - definitely here for that energy :) The jelly test sounds pretty cool too but I have one important question: What colour are your Crocs?! :D

RINGING THE BELL

 Hey guys, Ringing the bell was a special experience for me. It was all about celebrating how far I'd come as a survivor of cancer. I got to the hospital and in the waiting room I was waiting for my sisters and brother and nieces. I wore a pink dress as pink is the main colour that represents cancer. I had to read a poem and got a certificate. I rang the bell and everyone cheered. Then I took a whole bunch of pictures with my siblings and mom and nurses. It was really exciting to get to do this as I have been waiting for so long. Now it's on to the next chapter of my life. I'm grateful for everything the nurses and doctors did for me so I could get a clean bill of health. I went home so proud of achieving this moment, which I'll remember forever.  That's all I've got for now. Enjoy.  Vote. Comment. Share.

BEING HOSPITALISED FROM 8TH TO 14TH OCT AND 19TH TO 21ST OCT

 Hi my amazing readers, Long time no see. I ended up in hospital cuz I wasn't feeling too great. I kept sleeping and my whole body was on fire. The pain was crazy. I went in and was admitted straight away. I was put on IV Paracetamol, fluids, had blood transfusions, had some medication for my sore mouth. Basically I had the full shebang. I had to be hooked up to machines, which wasn't fun, it was like Linc the Sink in Prison Break all over again. Remember when he was in the electric chair? I hated it, but it was making me better. I had to be moved to a bigger bay area where I had to share with another girl, I didn't talk much cuz I didn't want to get too attached. It's sad because you don't know what could happen to a person on your ward. I was constantly sleeping due to being on Amitriptyline, This is a medicine, which knocks you out so essentially it takes away all your pain. Then I had this jap called Deltaparin, which stops you from getting blood clots. The ...
