Because I just didn't know.

I had no idea.

I'd never met somebody as young as me that was going through this.

So there was so many emotions going through my head.

I went and bought a wedding dress.

As soon as the pick line was put in, I have a nice little scar on the inside of this bicep from my first pick line, one on this from the second pick line.

Went and got fitted for a wedding dress because I honestly thought, like, maybe I won't survive.

And Myra has a friend whose sister had a similar diagnosis and only lasted a couple of months.

So I'd say for her, knowing so much, being a medical professional, it was even harder.

Sometimes there's blissful ignorance in me not knowing as much as I now do know.

Yeah, it was rough.

Where is it at?

I'll be honest, I don't know.

I don't know.

I just completed my 18th round of chemo at the end of May.

18 tough rounds of a really hard chemo.

I have the side effects on my hands.

People are often surprised how fit and healthy I look because I've gone through so much chemo and I have stage four cancer.

The question to me about losing my hair, I realise that there's so many types of chemo and often breast cancer patients lose their hair.

But for me, neuropathy is the main issue post chemo.
