Welcome to my blog!
Seems
the right way to start my blog is to introduce myself due to you taking the time
to read my ramblings of my entire story with cancer so far, and what’s to come
in the future! So that being said, my name is Danielle Pritchard, I am 21 years old and slightly animal obsessed (ok,
very obsessed!!) I was very hesitant on starting a blog as I’m a very private
person, I wasn’t sure if I really wanted people I have never even met knowing
about me and what was happening in my life. Very little people know what I deal
with in everyday life and the experiences I am going through but how are they supposed
to know if I never tell them?
My life has completely
changed completely in more ways than ever imaginable, nothing is like it used to
be. I was working in a veterinary practice, my dream job, working for
everything I have ever wanted, to be qualified, a house and a family. However this
has been put on hold for what has been, and still is, the biggest challenge of
my life!
10th may
2018, I was diagnosed with grade 4, glioblastoma (GBM) brain tumour. This is a very rare form
of brain tumour and is one of the hardest to treat, especially with the limited
options available in the UK!
Throughout this blog,
I am going to be talking about my diagnosis, chemotherapy, the side effects,
scans, radiation and everything else which comes as a bundle when you’re
diagnosed with cancer! But not to
stress, this blog isn’t going to be all doom and gloom, I’m trying to pick out
every inch of positivity what’s left of this journey and hopefully, even if I just
help one person going through similar things to find that positivity alongside
me, I would have achieved everything that I hoped to do through this blog/
sharing my story.
