Almost there!

Chemotherapy seems quite a while ago now and I feel like I have come a long way. It has helped having lots of things to look forward too. Trips away, goals to aim for and plans for the future.

A week in Cornwall with Joe was a much needed holiday I took a week before my radiotherapy. We stayed in a little cottage situated on a hill overlooking the beach. It was absolute heaven! I love Cornwall anyway but this felt like paradise. It was perfect and I had fantastic time going for brisk beach walks, visiting beautiful little cornish towns and villages and eating plenty of pasties and cream teas! It felt good to be by the sea again. I could sit and stare at the sea for hours. The crashing of the waves is so hypnotic and the vast expanse sea is very therapeutic. It was hard leaving such a beautiful part of the country especially to come back inland again. However, I came back feeling very re-energized and refreshed.

This was our view from the cottage. Who could tear themselves away from this?!


Sat on the beach watching the waves and surfers in the evening with a duvet to keep you warm is definitely the way to do it!


The cottages. Ours was the little on the end.


I am now nearly half way through my radiotherapy and so far I have no side effects. Going to the hospital is not as much as a drag as I thought. It gets me out of the house for a start and only takes about 2 hours out of my day. It helps having glorious sunshine to come back to for the rest of day too. It is definitely a walk in the park compared to the chemo.

I have lots of things to look forward too. Weekends away to Brighton and Hastings, a long weekend in Spain and moving back to Brighton for the summer all keep me going. I also have an interview in May for the fashion course I'm hoping to get on, so need to start preparing for that. I might also be involved in another breast cancer campaign which will be European wide. Plenty to keep me busy. If you did not catch my interview with Caryn Franklin you can see it here. - http://www.my-wardrobe.com/my-tv/ftbc

I am hoping I will be feeling well enough to move to Brighton quite soon after the radiotherapy and start working again. Getting some of my independence back is so important to me. I am so lucky that I will have finished my treatment just in time for summer. I am so happy I am almost at the end!
