On the 18th of december 2014 I was told by the doctors at my local hospital "We think you have leukaemia".
I clung onto the word 'think' until the next day when it was clarified that I did in fact, at 17, have cancer. So today is the day I consider it being a year since I was diagnosed. The news that broke my heart & changed my life forever. The news that has formed me into the strong person I am today.
Unhappy 1st birthday to my cancer! Too bad, you didn't win this time.
