Been absent for a few days - needed a break from #cancer. I start chemo on Tuesday. Huge relief that has a healthy side serving of #anxiety about how my body will cope. Mentally, I'm strong. Physically - meh. #SecondaryBreastCancer #TerminalCancer #MBC #TerminallyHopeful

#chemo round 1 (of this rodeo). On my 3rd canula of the day and they've stopped my 2nd bag of magic poison because my veins are shite. Trying again.... #bcsm #secondarybreastcancer #terminalcancer #terminallyhopeful

Lomggggg day.... one of the canula sites that had the chemo started weeping when I got home. Very grateful to Office of the Chief Executive NHSScotland for the #CancerTreatmentHelpline. Efficient, quick, helpful. Everytime. #bcsm #TerminalCancer #TerminallyHopeful #secondarybreastcancer

In amongst canula drama, oncologist came to see me. I qualify for a special #immunotherapy. I'm the first person they have had who meets the criteria. Was told very little chance. Best news possible 😁. #BCSM #secondarybreastcancer #TerminalCancer #TerminallyHopeful

I've been running away from all of this and living well for a wonderful few months that's not been without drama. I managed for 12 weeks to achieve NED status. The #GemCarbo #Chemo was soooo rough, and it took an age to complete my 6 cycles. #BCSM #TerminallyHopeful

There was a delay in beginning #Immunotherapy so I could have #SRS #Radiotherapy to my brain. So far, my brain has behaved so that was a good decision. The mask was a challenge but it was very doable. #BCSM #BrainMets #Stage4BreastCancer #TerminallyHopeful

#Immunotherapy has been wonderful. It has given me my longest break from chemo since I began with primary cancer in June 2021. I feel #normal. But, it may not be working as recent scans have shown #lymphnode activity so we're watching and waiting. #BCSM #TerminallyHopeful

Also had the great displeasure of having a #HickmanLine inserted back in February. That is not something I loved. The process was awful. But, the benefits were great for a while. No canula drama (other than for scans). #BCSM #Stage4BreastCancer #TerminallyHopeful

I no longer have the #HickmanLine thanks to a terrifying bout of #Sepsis that resulted in a 6 night all inclusive mini break courtesy of the #NHS. I was really unwell and it took a lot of effort to get it under control. #ThankYouNHS #BCSM #Stage4BreastCancer #TerminallyHopeful

But, it hasn't all been #doomandgloom. I've been on a few escapes around #Scotland. Isle of Bute Piperdam Resort Apex Hotels Dundee and twice to #Clackmannan. Plus countless other fun days and good times. #BCSM #Stage4BreastCancer #TerminallyHopeful

We looked after a #RescueDog for a few months. Oh how we loved her even though she was an absolute liability with serious issues that ultimately meant we couldn't keep her. We miss her. #DogsOfTwitter #BCSM #TerminallyHopedul

And the big news is I got #Married. What a wonderful day. Less than a week after being in hospital with sepsis. It was everything and more. #YOLO #BCSM #Newlyweds #TerminallyHopeful #Stage4BreastCancer

We've also bought a house. It's a shithole 🤣. But, this is our next #MovingForward project. This means my #Husband and #Son get to have a #Home that nobody can take from them. This brings me enormous comfort. #BCSM #Stage4BreastCancer #TerminallyHopeful #RenovationProject

When I said the new house was a shithole... #DoerUpper damp, wood rot, overgrown garden etc etc. But it's exciting and we're all enjoying chipping in 😊. #Renovations #Home #BCSM #TerminallyHopeful #SecondaryBreastCancer

Two firsts for me today: 1. I went to a hospice 2. I attended my first in person meet up with others who have #SecondaryBreastCancer Glad that I could visit a hospice before I have no choice and to have connected with others. #BCSM #TerminallyHopeful

One year ago today, I temporarily lost the ability to speak. A few hours later it was confirmed my #BreastCancer had #Mestastisised to my brain. I was told my December birthday would be my last. Feeling very thankful that was wrong. #BCSM #SecondaryBreastCancer #TerminallyHopeful

Why is it that #SecondaryBreastCancer seems easier to deal with than a cold? 🤧🤣. I'm keeping Kleenex® Brand in business 😬. #BCSM #TerminallyHopeful

Hey, Gousto. I picked up my box from the doorstep this afternoon and got covered in red ink from your box. It's all over my kitchen, jumper and slippers.
