So I was just wanting to give you all a little bit of an update of what has gone on so far for me in 2017.
If I am honest it has been a little tough for me so far.
I have reduced my hours at work, so hopefully I will be able to do some more makeup looks for you all.I shall look forward to doing them.
But the 2 toughest things that have happened to me is that two people that I know have been diagnosed with cancer.
One of them is a friend of mine, she has a brain tumour, she knows about my history with cancer so hopefully, I will be able to be a good support for her.
The other person though, is even more of an important person to me. He is the person I have always looked up to and gone to. My dad. He was diagnosed last week with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML).
Now, if you have read my very first blog, you would know that I had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) when I was 3 years old. They are both cancer of the blood, just different intensities.
My dad went into hospital yesterday, and is starting his treatment journey at some point this week. I am not going to have my dad home for at least three months.
So in a way, I am so happy that I have been able to reduce my hours, just so that I can visit and spend time with my dad.
My dad is the third family member i am now having to see go through the battle with cancer. When I came out of treatment from mine, my Granddad (dad's dad) was diagnosed with prostate, he fought for 8 years, sadly passed. A few years later my Nan (mum's mum) was diagnosed, her cancer spread, she sadly passed. Now I am about to witness my dad. Thankfully, they have caught the cancer early on.
I want anyone, that knows somebody or even if you are personally going through cancer, or have even fought cancer. Please feel free to write a comment, if its advice for someone or a question.
Let's make sure that nobody feels alone. We all need to support one another.
Sending love to you all.
