Hey guys x I was diagnosed with incurable brain cancer in November 2023. So I know the shock that you are going through. I think it’s great that you are sharing your journey on here, awareness is key! I am doing radiotherapy and chemo and plan on exceeding the prognosis the Drs have given me! Sending you positive thoughts, and healing energy. You got this!!! ❤
Hi John and Mandy, I was so shocked to hear about your news, I hope this gives you both a bit of hope. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2020. Now after 3 years of fight I got news I am now in remission and the hospital are signing me off.. Mandy staying positive helps it helped me and I feel that you will pull through. All my love guys.
Stage 4 colon cancer is not the same as 2a cervical cancer and can easily be cured
@@juliadevlin7815 yes I know that they are completely different, but the experience of having cancer, chemotherapy for 6 months was a hard journey for myself and my family, I stayed positve throughout and I found this helped alot. I am sure Mandy and John will stay positive as this horrible illness can be beaten back and they can have a happy and fun filled life together.
Good luck with all your treatment Mandy thinking of you both xxx
When I got breast cancer, I shared "my story" on my blog. Also for practical reasons, so I didn't have to tell the story again and again to family and friends and acquaintances. I do so vividly remember the support I got online, it was amazing. It was indeed a big virtual hug, a very warm feeling. When I had my surgery, I imagined all those people from that online community standing around me and giving me their warmth and strength. It may sound really silly, but it gave me a lot of comfort.
Such a shock for both of you. Eighteen months after I lost my beloved huband to cancer in 2019, I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. This was during covid. Following surgery, I had chemo, radiotherapy and brachytherapy. I am now on a six month check up. I was also treated at the Queens Centre, Castle Hill, Cottingham, a place giving great positivity and care. I trust that Mandy will have good care, and come through smiling. Best wishes from Susan.
I am the same as you, endo cancer. Radio, chemo and brachytherapy. Treated in peter mac, Melbourne Australia
Happy anniversary guys, keep strong and focused, ask lots of questions, my mum was diagnosed with 2a at 50,she was treated at Christie’s and lived until 82, keep smiling ❤xxx
My husband got his stage 4 lungcancer diagnoses now almost 4 years ago. We both liked to be in control, but this rollercoaster you are now in, can’t be controlled and it will be the most difficult thing you will have to cope with. One thing I have learned is that you can think of every possible scenario (good and bad) and the reality will allways be different. My husband still being here is a miracle on its own. We sherish every day now, knowing he will have to leave us soon.
Lots of hugs, keep hugging eachother.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Practical advice today. Get you the UK equivalent of a 5 gallon bucket and some people poopie bags for it (Amazon). If you're tired and feeling poorly, the last thing you want to do is clean-up. My sister lived 3 hours away from a hospital and carried her bucket of supplies each trip. Wipes (unscented) for both ends, people poopie bags and toilet seat ring for bucket. Regular trash bag for putting people poopie bags after using them. A pee bottle with lady attacment. You should be able to get in and out of you van but might need an rv step platform to keep from stretching too much. A driver that doesn't mind you venting and is able to pay attention to the road while you emote. Gas up your vehicle the day before a treatment cuz some folks can't stand the fumes/smell. You will probably have more energy in the morning. Do your fun activity then. Save the washing cleaning etc for the afternoon or evening so you can sit and rest. Eat often when you can. You may or may not be able to tolerate certain smells or tastes. Have some plain comfort food on hand. Mashed or baked potato, white rice, cream based pasta like Mac n cheese, toast, etc.
Be your own advocate. Medical personnel will take you at your word, no questions, ok then. Get a small notebook, write down every random question that pops up. If they see you are keeping a record they tend to be more forthcoming. Write down the answer, date/time and who gave it to you. Sometimes the nurse is the best resource but if they can't answer ask them to find out from the attending physician. Keep a record of your meds and reactions in this book. If the nurse takes your temp, oxygen and BP, ask them what it is and note it in the book. If you are unable, ask them to jot it down or John if he is allowed to be with you. Keep a list of all meds, Vitamins, supplements, herbal teas, etc, you are taking on you at all times. Every time you enter a medical center for treatment, they will ask you for this info, and sometimes you might forget an item. Yes, they may have the last list of meds but you may have stopped taking something because of adverse reactions and the admitting nurse may not be aware of the change.
I don't know how they do it in the UK, but in the US you usually have a team that works with you for your treatment. There will be a team leader that you should be able to reach during work hours and an emergency contact. Post those clearly where anyone can see them. If you have an adverse reaction to a drug at home, you might not be able to make a call. Get a BP cuff, oxygen meter and thermometer and train you primary caregivers how to use them. Changes in BP, oxygen or temperature might need reporting right away or a call for an ambulance for transport.
You may never need any of this, but being prepared can mean all the difference in an emergency. You are in my prayers for healing.
The NHS is a national treasure , I'm sure everything will be fine , stay positive. I had a malignant melanoma removed almost 20 years now .
I know exactly how you feel John, my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer at start of covid, I had been her protector for 44 years and suddenly couldn’t help, I couldn’t even sit with her during chemotherapy, when the oncologist told us the findings I asked wahat the prognosis was and he said do you really want to know 😮 I lost my temper and said of course, he said without chemotherapy 4 to six weeks, I looked at my poor wife’s face and will never forget, she started chemotherapy 2 days later and we got a further 2 years thankfully, she passed away 2 years ago on the 22nd, I say this to have faith in the hospital and treatment and Mandy with any luck at your staging you should have many, many years together, bless the pair of you ❤
❤
It was extremely moving to read your comment. I cared for my wife through her treatment, it was everything I could do. Take care you’re clearly wonderful
My partner had testicular cancer which spread to his lungs and ended up stage 4
He had surgery and chemo and 10 years later he is clear and very well.
He changed his diet to healthy and took extra vitamin tablets.
Just take each day as it comes and let people spoil you.Sending you lots of love and hugs.You will get through this ❤️
The pair of you are, to coin a phrase, "ruddy Amazing!" Have been following you for a few years, but have literally seen every video, followed your journey, been inspired, laughed and cried. You got this!
Hi Mandy and John I’ve been diagnosed with different cancers 4 times (and I’m still here😂) I’m under Grimsby hospital the same hospital group as you. I would say contact the nurse that was with you at the consultants and she can go through your records and explain things in English. In my experience it is just another day at the office for some but not all consultants. The macmillan specialist nurses are the ones who explain what’s what well. They’re understand how you feel and are there for you even on the days you’re just having a wobble. I had radiotherapy at Castle Hill but for breast cancer to me it was just like having an X-ray no big deal, not the same as your having but your nurse will explain what to typically expect. The staff are lovely in the radiotherapy. You will not have to pay toll fees for the bridge or parking fees so you might decide to stay where you are and just pay for fuel. I ended up having a hysterectomy and I instantly felt better. You may find some of the things that you’re putting down to the menopause are in fact caused by the cancer and may improve or disappear once you have treatment. I’m not medically trained I’m just telling you my experience things are much easier once you know what’s what you feel more in control. All the best you got this and your course treatment will be over before you know it. You can message me if you want to ask me anything. Take care x
Hey Mandy, I work at Castle Hill not in your specific cancer (Haematology). It's a great place but very busy!! The Chemo and Radiotherapy units are fab, we will look after you 💜
Just jumping in to say all the very best to you both. It doesn't matter how you get through it, just that you get through it x
Prayers to you and family. My wife is fighting the battle of endometrial cancer. Chemo hasn't been totally unbearable
One very brave lady and one very brave man 👍 my wife had bowel cancer 3 years ago just at the end of covid! So she spent three weeks in hospital and I couldn’t go and see her! I felt just like John! Useless ! I knew nothing, we hadn’t a clue! After three weeks in hospital when she came home we had no help and struggled, we didn’t know where to go what to do etc.
Three years on, she has just had a scan as her annual check 🤞🤞🤞🤞 we think all is ok, but ! Still has a colostomy bag which she would dear,y like to ditch !
But! She is alive, and hope we can get away in our camper van this summer .
I wish you both all the best, it’s hard fir the person going through the treatment, and I can’t imagine what it’s like, but!., as a partner I felt I was going through it as well, people kept ( and still keep) telling me to make time for myself, which is vital to support those receiving treatment.
Warrior Woman! So relieved to hear your Cancer isn’t on the rampage Mandy, horrible as it is, that is good news. The thought spirals? Saw a chap on Insta recently, he had a neat trick… Close your eyes, take a slow breath in through your nose, out through your mouth, then, ask yourself “I wonder what my next thought is going to be?” Give it a go? Hope you’ve got a fab weekend planned, big warm hugs heading to you, John and your lovely daughter ❤️
Hi John, Hi Mandy, I Both I found Mandy’s channel last week & I subscribed I have just found your joint channel & I have subscribed to your joint channel 👍 Mandy, & John, I really wish you both all the very best in your journey I am sending you both lots of virtual hugs & a lot of love to you both 💞🦋 Lin
I had my radiotherapy at Castle Hill 5 years ago and can say you will be in good hands. The staff are wonderful.
I used to have to get the transport each day as my partner was working which was tiring in itself so having John with you will help immensely.
A funny story re the tattoo's, last year I was getting out the bath and my partner said what's that dot. I said it's a tattoo she said what you've had a dot tattoo. I said I've had 3. Then explained why. It only took 4 years to notice 😂
All the best Mandy, stay strong. ❤
John you can help and are helping by being by Mandy,s side supporting her and just talking about it, that's your best job ❤
All the best both. After my visit to hospital towards the end I got more confident asking the doctors to write things down for me because it's like a blur when the consultants etc speak to you. They seem to just appear and then they are gone. Never be shy to say - I'm sorry I haven't understood what I heard please can you take me through it again a bit slower. Never a problem from any of the brilliant NHS teams. Take care.
Telling your medical team to write things down and having someone with you for most if not all appointments are essentials!
Sorry to hear you have cancer. You can beat this with the right treatment and family around you, I was told that i had terminal cancer of the pancreast in august after having a major operation in October which was unsucssful i am having chemo. hopefully it won,t but with me i do get very tired a lot and have some aches and pains sometimes with sickness and direa. all i can say is try and stay positive and with family around you can beat this. Sending best wishes,
Hi Mandy sorry to hear about your diagnosis just to let you know the hospital for your treatment is fantastic
Local village has a great cafe called blondes for John to nip to for coffees snacks etc
There is a campsite called butt farm nearby
Toby carvery with hotel if needed
Lots of places to sit and to relax on the weekends east park in hull the marina etc
Hope you stay strong you have the best of the best at castle hill
Xx
Just wanted to add to everyone’s posts in sending you all our love and support to you both ❤
Mandy & John, firstly sorry to hear you are having to go through this. I have just been given all clear after 10 years. I was stage 3&4 cervical cancer. I had a fantastic consultant at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. I opted for surgery (radical hysterectomy) as if it came back as I understand once you had radiation you can’t have it again. I had extra parts removed as well as repair to bladder and bowel. Looking back I don’t regret my choice. I had a daughter that I wanted to see grow up and she is nearly 28 now. Going through a forced menopause was no biggie in comparison to what could have been. Don’t be talked down to by doctors, just remind them you are the patient and you have the final say…they have nothing without your consent. I wish you well, listen to your body, rest when it needs rest and sleep when it is tired. Much love from me and my family in Lincs
Hey Ive just watched the video and thought I’d share my story of cervical cancer with you. I was diagnosed with 3a way back in 2011 when I was 19 and my son was 1. I was treated with cisplatin chemotherapy once a week for 4 weeks. Alongside I had 6 weeks of radiotherapy(the last 2 weeks were classed as intensive). My advice would be, eat as healthy and nutritious as you can. Maybe start juicing to get nutrients in(organic when you can) I found the ginger ones really helped with sickness. I didn’t loose my hair thankfully my worst part of treatment was with waterworks(pain when passing) and sudden onset of menopause. I wish you well on your journey, hope to see you on a campsite in the future and give you a big hug Thanks for the videos guys! Take it easy❤
Hello Mandy and John. You were suggested to me via RUclips. Anyway, I’m a newbie here on your Chanel. I look forward to getting to know you guys on here as I watch some of your previous posts. Happy Wedding anniversary xx
I'm thinking about what you are both going through at the moment and remembering those feelings. The one thing I will say, is that all medical profesionals have different ways of delivering information. They often come accros as distant or aloof. For a lot of them its a coping mechanism, others may be worried about legal action if they say the wrong thing. If I could say one thing based on my own experianes its this: Don,t read to much into not getting awnsers . We have a wonderfull NHS. Stay strong for each other
That sounds awful Mandy, he should have given you his full attention. Im sorry you had to go through that appointment that way ❤xx
give her a hug from me. i spent spent 5 weeks in hospital after a massive pulmonary embolism the doctor told it could of killed me as it was one of the worst she had seen. been diagnosed Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome self injecting blood thinners twice a day. i am so thankful for the NHS and all the nurses doctors porter cleaners that helped me. and yes them make you like you wet your pants lol
Oh bless you both….I’m so sorry your having to endure all this…
Unfortunately the chemotherapy does affect your legs and movement……some chemotherapy does make you feel ill,some loose their hair..
Theirs various forms of chemotherapy treatments ….strengths and formats.
Eating and drinking is another new experience…
You can do it…your strong,your together facing it,helping each other.
Make sure you write everything down you want to ask….
Treatment,timings,waiting for results is draining but just deal with things one thing at a time….
Sending you both so much love and prayers……..❤️&🙏🏻. 👍🇬🇧
Thank you so much for the update…
Thank you for sharing your latest vlog with us. I'm feeling abit angry about how your meeting with The Consultant was so rushed and how He avoided answering your questions etc.This is not how it should be ! Of course You are both still trying to come to terms with Mandy's illness and need answers.I really hope your next appointment is better and that someone will have more empathy and give you the answers you need.
God bless you both always xx
Guys stay positive, while not the news you hoped for its good to catch it early. Sending hugs from Cooper and me and hope to see you guys soon.
Castle Hill is very good. My husband had treatment for both prostate and kidney cancer plus lots of follow up appointments. (He’s ok now) The only problem there is the parking which is a nightmare so I’m crossing my fingers for you!! Sending lots of hugs to you both- you’ll get the best care Mandy. X🥰
Ps, actually amazed you got a parking space at Scunny hospital!! 👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣
It took a while 😂 we’re usually quite lucky with that car park
Sadly I’ve only just found your channel so have only just watched your health diagnosis, but I am looking forward to forward to watching the rest of your videos 🥰
You’re both doing SO well, stay strong. So many people are behind you. X. 💐
So sorry to hear about your diagnosis, Mandy ❤ It does sound like you are in capable hands and you’ll get good care!! One thing to think of, as far as where to stay for your treatments, it is my understanding that you should have a separate bathroom from John because of the radiation. Married friends of mine, with him going through radiation, were told they must use separate bathrooms on treatment days and maybe a few days after? Please ask your team about this (we are in Canada). All the best!!! You got this!!!
My mum finished her last chemotherapy in December last year, Stay positive and keep smiling all will be ok!
Thinking of you both and you are always in my prayers. You have each other which is wonderful. Bless you both xxx
I think consultants sometimes forget they are actually talking to people who are probably struggling to deal with the worst news ever!
Keep well, keep it together, take one day at a time....
Thank you for keeping us all up to date❤ xx
Hi John And Mandy hope all goes well with the treatment 👌👌👌
Hello Mandy and John, I’m a long time, silent follower, but I thought it might be helpful for you to know that my husband had cancer treatment at Castle Hill Hospital, and we spent a lot of time at Butt Farm Caravan and Campsite, it’s very convenient for Castle Hill.
I hope all goes well with your treatment Mandy, I’m sure you will both come out smiling, and put this all behind you.
Kind regards
Janet
Ooops just lost my first attempt at words of wisdom - try again.
You should both be very, very proud of the way you are coping with everything, I am sure there are melt downs in between times but you both have to let it all out sometimes. Trying to process all the info, which never is quite what you expect or want to hear and the unknown effects the treatment is so difficult but you are doing so well. Definitely enjoy the time you have before treatment starts and no matter how you feel during your treatment every day is a day closer to you getting better and being back on the road together. I have just had my first 3 month check after chemo for aggressive breast cancer. The human body is an amazing thing and with your positive attitude you will both come through the next few months and eventually be stronger because of it. Much love to you both,keep strong, try hugging your consultant mine loves a good hug!! Xx
Take care and God Bless You both.💞🙏🙏💞
I get car sick if anyone drives but me. Zip-Lock bags are great. They don't leak and you zip them up so they don't smell. Stop at a gas station and drop them in the garbage can.
I'll have to pack them in a bag when my son drives me to the hospital at the end of next month for my test to see if enough blood is getting through my heart.
Twice, doctors have told me I have cancer, and that's why I'm always so tired. Tests done, and I wait and wait, finally track them down to see what the results were. Nope, not cancer. The first time I was elated, the second time pissed off. Why can't doctors just say, "I don't know," rather than let a person live with that uncertainty?
Sorry, a bit of a rant there. I do hope everything goes well for you, dear girl. And Happy Anniversary, you two. :)
Jon in rural BC, Canada
My heart is heavy with the all that you both, especially Mandy, are going thru with the shock of your diagnosis - I am gobsmacked with what your going thru - life is a roller coaster enough on its own let alone having to go thru this - your an amazingly strong person Mandy - you really are - and thank you for sharing your journey helping to make such an impact on awareness of cervical cancer on all platforms.... please take care cheers Debz from Oz
So sorry to hear that mate. I hope everything will be all right and things will go better in the future. Please don't loose hope.
13 years since breast cancer diagnosis.... I can still remember the shock, fog, the runaway train that it all is. No question is a dumb question, it will just leave you more baffled if you can't get answers, write every little question down so you don't forget them in between appointments etc. Best of luck with it all.
You are starting a long and challenging journey. Not quite the kind of journey you are used to, looking for parkups and finding places to get water and service your tanks. However, we totally understand John wanting to plan and help with everything practical. We would be just the same. You must feel like you are in a traffic jam with a ferry to catch in bad weather with nowhere to get shopping 😉 We think that everything will start dropping into place and John will be the perfect support. Look after each other and enjoy the gaps in your treatment when you can 👍🏻🚐🚐💙 Trev n Sue
Its such a blessing believe me to have such a strong and loving husband who cares and supports you mine has literally saved my life.
Happy Anniversary guy's and so much love to you both keep strong and your amazing 👏
Just watched your video and I just want to jump
Into the screen and give you both such a big hug.
You are both an inspiration to each other as well as to all of us watching you go through this .
Stay strong and keep us all informed at your own leisure. We are all routing for you xxxx
Hi john and mandy i remember being very scared about the prospect of having chemo 22 years ago but suprisinly i didnt loose my appitite they give like a small medication that boosts appitite it kind of felt like i had a cold last dose made me feel queesy everybody is different take 1 day at a time give yourself a nice treat after each treatment to boost your moral little things help lots of love to you both ❤
When I had my radical hysterectomy I found getting in and out a van a lot easier than a car as your not bending so much and can just slide out ❤, you will get tired and need rest time I do think I would have been better in our motorhome than in home ,no steps and much nicer to be able to just ride out and see something different if you feel up to it ❤❤❤
Happy anniversary Big hug to you.both.❤think of you both
John du är för mycket tekniker . håll om din fru och vissa att du finns för henne.Mvh Angus
I know the future seems unclear at the moment, hopefully after the next scan things will become clearer ? I realise that it is sometimes hard, but try to stay positive. Am routing for both of you (it is hard for you both) & hopefully see you at Harrogate.
Please stay strong and you can beat this if you want more info on braci or anything I can help I had stage 3 and I’m all good!!! X you hear so many horror stories but if u stay positive you’ll be ok x
John, you are a big support for Mandy. Can i say you both are showing great strength. Just laugh when you can, cry if you want, scream, shout just live each day and enjoy something in each day.💚
Hi Mandy you got the name of the type right and 2A is definitely treatable. I´m so sorry you were treated not the best. I was a mental health trained medic but I completed cancer care for quite a long time at medical school. I also did a year of radiography training as well before changing mental health, diagnostic not therapeutic, but I can still explain what will happen at your appointments I think and a bit of how you may feel. If you have any questions get in touch and I will try to advise you. x
John, the best way you can help Mandy is to be there for her. So don't worry about your tractical support, you are more than OK. ! All the best for both of you !
Even though I am a fairly new viewer I have been watching old videos and catching up,my life has been directly affected by cancer,my son who is reach a cure date and has been clean for 27 years since,and my heart goes out to you. I wish for you another big hug and definitely look after yourselves and each other. Just remember you are loved and we are all pulling for you!❤️❤️❤️ Have happy anniversary and a nice evening celebrating it as well. One hint that might help is get a journal and write all these things down so you can use it the next time you talk to the docs or nurses…..I just know that it helped me.
Keep your chins up and think positive. bless you both xx
First: congratiolation that your cancer is curabel and sorry that the doctor you meet was so bad. In Sweden we have special hotels for our patients where they can stay when they get their treatment. Ask for that❤❤❤
Bless you both xx
mandy im a man and have had 2 PET scan dont be shoked when they come with the radiation it will come in a metal box with the big yellow sign on it and then you have to wait about 30 min plus but the scan is similar , good luck and as a true christian ill say prayer for you
Fingers and legs crossed for ya 🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞🤞
Mandy - you've got this. Take it one day at a time. xx
John - it's ok to cry. The one you love is going through a tough time...as are you. xx
Both - congratulations on your wedding anniversary. Focus on the good stuff. xx
Love and hugs to you both. xx
All the best of luck Mandy with what you are going through.. also John you also take care of yourself self as it’s both of you going through this terrible thing together, but stay strong Mandy and all the best xx
Watching this, brings tears to my eyes how much I can see feel for each other
I am very fortunate like you, my wife could attend every appointment every scan every result
Been at it for 5 years now had the unavoidable, emotional ups and downs
Just saying I think I might slightly just understand a bit of your feelings right now guys ..
You’re right, the questions you ask, never truly answered as you want, feel for both of you deeply right now xxx
You sharing this so intimately and openly and talking to you does really help me
Sending big hugs to you both from Türkiye xx
J&M just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about Mandy’s illness. I know lots of people will have said this already but just concentrate on yourselves, post when you want, and remember will are all willing Mandy to get better. ❤
Thank you both stay strong and positive, because you know …..nerf battles with grand kids can be knackering 😂😂 not going to say good luck anymore, until you’re better Mandy , because you don’t need luck your going to kick it’s arse cause cancers got an arse don’t you know . Look at the RUclips community sending positivity ! thats so great and you did that so be proud well done . On a funny note cause lafter is the the best medicine, trust me I’m an electrician 😂 my wife wants me to call my van Amazon or conversely “ how much did that f######### van cost “ think that may offend and a sticker saying Amazon is really easy to come by . I blocked the street yesterday with a furniture board delivery, the month before the delivery driver ran over my neighbours lawn delivering my rib bed thank god I got good neighbours. Remember your true followers are your neighbours they are their for you 👍👍👍🏴🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦🦢
So sorry for your news I got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in June I was told there is no treatment because of medical reasons told I have only got months to live and I am still ticking over so good luck with your treatment and love your channel
I’m so sorry, I hope you are able to make the most of every moment you have ❤️
Thank you guys for taking the time to explain what's happening while you're having to deal with this. We love you and sending you the biggest hug. You've got this Mandy xxx
Listening too you both is like reliving what my partner went through. As hard as I find watching you two regarding all the problems, I just feel the need to listen, and maybe pick up on something that could be relevant to John in how to deal with scenarios I went through whilst looking after my partner. Keep staying strong.
Early last year my wife was diagnosed with stage four cervical cancer, just before christmas we got the news she was totally clear of all cancer, it was a rollercoaster of a year, if Manday would like to talk to my wife, please reach out and she would be pleased to talk to her, it may help, love to you both, John it will be hard for you as it was for me, keep strong for Mandy x
Hi John and Mandy 👋🏻 Firstly happy wedding anniversary, I’m so glad you had a lovely meal to mark the occasion 💞
I don’t often comment on YT but as soon as I heard about Mandy’s diagnosis, I like many others, booked my smear as I was a few months overdue because we’d relocated and therefore I’d changed Doctors. So thank you for highlighting how important it is. We will be following you as you navigate dodging this curveball life’s thrown at you.
Both myself and my husband are behind you all the way, we think you’re handling it really well and are exactly in the right frame of mind to enjoy ‘normality’ until you have to get off at the station and wait for the next train. Sending positive thoughts, prayers, hugs and love ❣️Liz & Gray xx
Still hoping and praying for Mandy to have successful outcome, and for John for the strength to give Mandy the support that we know he will give. And for my 33 year old daughter who has been suffering pain as we wait for biopsy results from last weekend. 🙏🙏🙏
I am waiting on the lab results for colon cancer...So I know how the feelings are. God bless you both !!
I'm not very good with words but i want to wish you all the very best and hope that you will get good news soon. Godbless you both, and all your family XX
John and Mandy I’m sending you ALL ALL the positive vibes in the WHOLE UNIVERSE. Together with the love you have for each other, you will be strong. And with all the love all your followers are sending you, I’m sure all will be good in the end. I think of you both every day. Lots of love❤❤☘️☘️🧚🏾♀️🧚🏾♀️🧸
MacMillan nurses are amazing a great source of information and knowledge, Audio books are great for taking your mind off things especially when on your treatment. Wishing you all the success in the world x
Sorry about your diagnosis, it's good it was caught in the early stages, there is a RUclips channel called The Dog Poo Fairy she is an identical twin who's sister's battling cervical cancer, they are trying to raise awareness & get people to advocate for their own health because she was let down by doctors who kept ignoring her. Emma the lady who does the channel is lovely and I'm sure she would give you advice on things to expect etc because shes helping others. You may find it helpful to watch or contact Emma who is looking after her twin Soo and mentioning things that help etc. Good luck
John and Mandy I’ve been watching you guys since the beginning of.. I don’t don’t post much at all really but I love watching you guys and I just wanted to give you guys my heart and tell you that I’m with you and that I’m praying that Mandy will get better and be healed in Jesus name pray amen
All the best Mandy, big virtual hug to you, hope your oncologist has better empathy than the doctor you saw Monday. Keeping fingers crossed for you that you can get through this without suffering side effects. xx
Mandy John you are both in my thoughts I cannot imagine what you are going through .I only wish there was something I could say to help
Please know we are all behind you xx🇦🇺
Oh John & Mandy, bless you both. Seeing you go through this reminds me so much of what my darling Chris & I went through back in 1992, when Chris was going through cancer treatment… the worry, the fear, the countless questions awaiting answers. Chris could only take on board so much information before getting to emotional overload, so I would be the scribe and jot down answers and information wherever I could. The consultants, doctors, nurses & their teams were absolutely amazing… like angels on Earth. I am thinking of you both as you go through your scary, uncertain times… sending lots of love and big hugs to you both. xxxx
You are such an amazing couple. Happy Anniversary and best wishes to you both xx
So many beautiful comments that I’d like to reiterate but simply sending you both love and light and a huge hug 🥰 xx
"Trust the Process" is a phrase I learned over a year ago... as well as "go with the flow".
The study of healthy nutritional diet could occupy your research and planning skills "need to do"!
It cannot be easy at all in vanlife and the thought of the mentioned symptoms after treatment being experienced in a vehicle sounds rather uncomfortable to say the least so of course that could exercise the minds too. Macmillan Nurses are brilliant..... they cared for someone who was a 40 a day smoker at the end of her life and I know she had nothing but HIGH REGARD for them and she battled well past her sell by date! She never ever gave in!
All the best to you both... it's good that you are exercising and maybe exploring when you can will be good medicine. ❤Bon courage ❤
Thoughts and prayers with you.
🙏🏻❤️
Mandy & John - we send you both massive hugs and positive vibes - we are currently nearly a year into our full-time vanlife and we were in no small way inspired by you two, which we will always be grateful for, and still are. Stay as healthy as is possible right now and keep looking after each other and out for each other. You are both brave, strong and bloody lovely people and deserve all the love and support that's coming your way. Nicky & Kevin xx
No words just big ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ sending love
Enjoy your time together and with the family before the big C kicking begins. The love and support you have for each shines brightly and will get you through the weeks to come. Think of you and sending much love to you both. You’ve got this ❤
Great news that no further areas identified. Sorry the doctor’s bedside manner was poor.As a nurse myself I was going to suggest speaking to your nurse. Nurses are always the most down to earth source of information. This assessment period seems forever to complete. Your plan to have fun with your grandson and meet friends is just the tonic you need. Sending you much love ❤
Good luck both 🤗
Wish you lots of love and a speedy recovery Mandy. We are thinking of you and praying that you overcome this next chapter. There will always be happier journeys ahead, so look forward to that. All the best to you both xxx
Thank you for sharing so we know what’s going on. You are two very strong people. Sending very best wishes. Be brave Mandy.
Good luck with your chemo Mandy. Sending love. My mum had cervical cancer over 20 years ago and will be celebrating her 80th this year. The treatment sounds different to yours, but the stage was the same. Wishing you all the best and the strength to get through it all. ❤
I know you say "talking" helps you but I feel it is so generous of you to be so open in sharing your experiences involved in your latest journey 💗
