KEY TAKEAWAYS
- About 4 years ago, I was living in Spain and building a business with my ex-partner, we were a couple of years into running an English school there for Spanish students from the ages of 3-63. I became ill and really tired for unknown reasons. No doctor could find what was wrong with me. I was told I was working too hard and needed to rest. One day I passed out, which was unlike me, real shortness of breath. I was taken to hospital where an x-ray revealed I had a 10cm tumour on my lungs which was restricting them.
- I experienced a complete mixture of emotions, especially strong disbelief because you never think it’s going to happen to you. I had a young son who was almost 2 and we were building our lives there, it was the worst time for this to happen. But I took it on the chin and accepted it for what it was.
- I had to prepare myself mentally and physically. I had to change my diet, my whole lifestyle and my whole attitude of how to approach this. I was lucky to have a gentleman in the room next door whose Mum was in and really sick and he was so lovely. He was there listening to everything, he spoke really good English, and he asked me if I was OK. If he wasn’t there, there was a good chance I’d have sat there and cried. Instead I had to maintain an air of “everything’s fine”… which is very much a British thing.
BEST MOMENTS
‘The surgeons told me I “met the demographic for this kind of cancer”, which I thought was a strange thing to say.’
‘At first they told me I had lymphoma and I didn’t know what that was. They didn’t give me the full diagnosis at first because they had to do a lot more tests, then they told me what else needed to happen and that I had cancer.’
‘We’ve been brought up with adverts on TV that portray cancer as a terminal disease and that it means automatic death if we ever hear that word. A lot less people are dying from cancer nowadays though, there’s not as much need to be as fearful of it as there once was because there are many ways to kill it.’
