00:00I was at the Royal National Hospital for three weeks which was really difficult but
00:07I received a lot of support and everyone there was really amazing and took care of me
00:12but I had to relearn how to walk, I had to relearn how to just even sit. I'm still on a crutch now
00:18six months after so it's definitely a long recovery but it went from literally being a
00:24full week, full recovery to now being two years but yeah just really grateful that I'm still here
00:31and that the operation went well. To be honest I kind of, I thought when I first got my diagnosis
00:41I kind of felt numb to it like I thought that my mental health would really suffer throughout the
00:47cancer diagnosis but oddly I just think like the survivor mode just kicked in and I just
00:54persevered like I just thought there's no point of me being like why has this happened to me,
00:58why so early, why so young, I just kind of thought it's happened, I've got to run with it, I've got to
01:04keep positive because me being sad isn't going to change anything. So I just kind of stayed strong
01:11for it all. I used to be a lot more emotional actually before my diagnosis like I'd cry over
01:17nothing but I think it made me realize that my worries previously weren't like real worries at all.
01:23But yeah so I kind of just stay strong for me and my family and my friends as well.
