January 29th was where it went pear-shaped really, I was struggling with lack of co ordination through my left side mainly my arm and leg. I had, had a bad migraine the day before but didn’t think much of it, it passed that night and I drove to Launceston as there was training.
Come the Wednesday I hadn’t gotten much better and i just thought it was just an illness but little did I know it was a tumour that had grown in the back of my brain for who knows how long. With this getting worse I went to the GP on the day who suggested I go up to Barnstable to be safe, with this I visited derriford the next day then spent just over a week in Barnstable. They couldn’t tell what sort of tumour it was due to the rods in my leg being magnetic I’d end up stuck to the MRI machine! So with this on Friday the 7th feb 2020 I had my rods removed from my right femur, after I had come around from the surgery they didn’t see that they was meant to put a new rod in the femur just so it was still usable. Unfortunately I’ll just spend the next 2 months on crutches which isn’t too long really.
The leg isn’t no where near as painful but the scar is 3x as big, running up over my knee and up the leg. It can get very tight which isn’t ideal.
February 21st I found out that this problem was actually an incurable brain tumour that was cancer. The tumour is 18mm and sits just on the right side of the brain. I’ll have a biopsy on 6th March 2020 and will begin chemotherapy soon after.
Until then,
Churs, Chae x
