Did I have a cocktail on holidays?

Like, I was totally blaming myself, like.

And then they just said, we're going to do a bit of radiotherapy.

And I said, look, we've done radiotherapy.

And it didn't work.

And my consultant, who I have to say is amazing.

I just love her.

Like, she's so approachable and just...

When I talk to her, you just feel like she cares, you know, and it's so important to have that as well.

Because for me, I had a lot of severe trust issues because of all this.

So I was afraid to trust in like the nurses and doctors.

And I know that sounds desperate, but I'd second guess everything they tell me as well.

But I just felt I was in safe hands with her, you know.

And she just looked at me and she said, we're just going to try radiotherapy to give you a bit of time, to give you extra time.

So, like, I knew myself that I had to have been aggressive because I went from the September to feeling a lump to the October to visibly seeing a lump.

I could see it.

Like, when I lay down, you could see the lump.

Like, I just said, darling, this is so aggressive.

So, yeah, we booked in.

Now, bear in mind, through the whole thing, I was like, is there any trials?
