This is now the 5th time I have lost my hair now & I'm sick of it tbh, so have made a conscious decision today to keep my head shaved from here on in as I'll always need treatment in some form or another and a permanent slaphead. After all I can always wear one of my wiggies if I fancy a change can't I?
Hence the tattoo I had done on my bonce some years back when I was raising dosh for Macmillan had to be sorted out as it had all bled out.
Whaddaya reckon? Pretty awesome I think 😊😊😊❤️

Blimey! I had it explained to me last week that they were gonna hit me with everything they had chemo-wise, they've got to, no other choices left for the time being.
I had to have 3 different ones to usual (I thought they were just mebbe gonna go stronger with the old ones) but nope, apparently these are the bad boys of the chemo world!
For e.g this is the nickname of one of the three....Red Devil or Red Death due to the severity of the symptoms they can cause.
Awesome. Sounds all inspiring 😫

How do folks 👋
You probably haven't even noticed, but I've been a bit quiet of late.. so I thought it was time to explain.
Basically, my greatest adversary, fondly known by me as bastard wa**er, is back with a vengeance. It has come back in all the places it was & increased in size. Lymph node (where it started) right lung, liver & brain. The biggest increase is sadly in the worst one...the brain. Typical for my luck! It has increased from 3 nodes there to 8 & one of them is 3 times the size of the rest of them 🙄.

There has been much hoohar with my consultant & other departments at the hospital as to what to do with me including a huge c**k up on their part where I got a phonecall to go in for a metal mask fitting (the one I said I wouldn't have done again) before my consultant had told me that the cancer had even come back and increased ffs!! Fuming doesn't even describe it, I'll tell ya!
Anyhoo, the upshot of that is that they have decided my brain is too big & clever (genius level) that neither Derby or Notts has a machine that can currently handle an excellent brain of that size 😉😆. Not really lol, but true about having too much for machines, sooo I now start chemo again tomorrow in the hope it helps all of the cancers to chill their beans again & shrink a little & then I can go have a metal mask fitted to zap my brain.
Roll on hair loss no 5.
I find hair is rather over-rated anyway.

I nearly gave up this time being honest folks & said no more treatment, I've had enough & give in. The last 2 1/2 years have really taken it out of me and been Hellish, but after a lot of soul searching I came to the conclusion to "stop being so soft you daft old bat! You've NEVER given up on a damned thing in your life, so why start now??"

The fight continues, although with a little less energy than I originally had 😊✊️. Game on (again) cancer.

A big thankyou to every one who has kept in touch. If I don't respond to messages, I'm not being rude, eyesight has been affected by meds & I can't see to read a lot of the time.

Much luvs to all, Annie 😘 xx
P.s fuuuuck, that was a long, boring assed message wasn't it? 😆

There's always a tiny shred of hope. Remember how I told you that the cancer had spread to 3 places in my brain? Well after the latest rounds of chemo I have had a recent mri scan and guess what? It's only working! 🎉
Has shrunk in size. Hurrah! This is the first time any treatment has made any difference in 2 years of battling on.
Scan of the rest of my bod next Tues then an agonising couple of weeks wait for the results again, but 🤞 it's done the same to my lymph node, my lung and my liver.
Merry feckin Christmas to me. Awesome news & I'm highly delighted.

Off for a brain mri today. Twitchy arse time.
This is the most important scan I've ever had in my entire life. This is the bad boy that decides if the chemo is working or not.... and if it's not, then they stop all treatment & I'm on my Jack Jones. If this happens, then this is the end game & the next move is moving to a hospice. Scary stuffs.
Keep your fingers crossed 🤞 for me & I'll let you know the results when I get them in a couple of weeks.
I absolutely HATE not being in control of my own destiny, no matter how hard I fight to make it so.

Well, I don't know what to say really, so am just gonna pop on out with my news as I have a lot of you still contacting me & asking how I am. I'll try & be as straight as I can with it & explain fully, as I'm really not in the mood for chatting at the mo.
Consultant rang me this morning to say he had a bit of bad news for me. I've not been accepted for the new cancer trial as most unfortunately, a MRI has shown my cancer has spread to 3 places in my brain as well as my lymphs my lung & my liver.
Well played beastie cancer, looks like you finally got me, even after all my denials & kicking & screaming all the way. Don't be mistaken though you little s**t.... I'll still be fighting you every step of the way! I am stronger than you could ever imagine.
In slightly better news, the hospital haven't written me off yet & I start chemo on Weds. The hope is that the chemo slows it enough to give me at least a few months.
Yeah it's awful news, but like I say, I ain't giving up, so I hope you as my customers over the years will believe in me ♥️. Much love to one n all & will try to stay in touch with updates for those that regularly ask me.
Annie xx

'Ello Annie's l'il chuckie eggs, it's been a while....
Soz, I've been going through some 'stuffs'
Can't think of a softly softly way to tell you all this, so I'm just gonna pop on out with it as I have a lot of folks asking, so it's easier to put a post on here.
A couple of months back, after a ct scan, I was told the cancer was on the move, from my lymph node into the upper right lobe of my lung & they had seen something 'indistinctive' in my liver. I told them it would be all the Jack Daniel's I've swigged over the years swishing round there & that's what they could see 😁.
After a repeat ct scan recently, sadly it wasn't the JD, the cancer had now spread across to my liver too & they were both increasing in size.
On the plus side, they're on the case. Chemo starts on Tuesday if my sodium is ok after a blood test & I'm also on the list for a chemical trial and will be able to start that as soon as I've had tests to see if I'm suitable for it 😊
Life expectancy? Well that was one of my first questions, ya know me, but it all depends if any of this treatment works or not. It could be a case of 'I'm here for a good time, not a long time' or with a bit of luck & the wind blowing in the right direction, I'm gonna see my boys 40th birthday & my birthday next year. I'm going for the 2nd option as I'm determined you're not gonna beat me cancer. I am stronger willed & more bloody minded than you are you beastie, so let's dance, see what you can do.
Anyways, seems my luck is changing. Left hospital to get an email from the people's postcode lottery to tell me I've won my first ever tenner 🎉. Shame I cancelled my subscription a couple of days ago innit? 😆. True story that 🤣. How's ma luck? No crisp £10 note winging it's way to me!
