Hello everyone, I'm not sure how to write this but I've been diagnosed with an aggressive form of ovarian cancer, at stage 3.
After a period of my health declining, a bunch of scans, blood tests and a biopsy I've been told I'll be starting chemotherapy in 2 weeks to shrink my growths and unbind my uterus from my colon. If that is successful, I'll have major surgery to remove these growths along with a total hysterectomy and removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes. Once I've healed from surgery I'll have more chemotherapy to hopefully stop the cancer from coming back.
This has flipped my whole life upside down along with the people closest to me, its very rare of someone my age to have this cancer. I'm unfortunately going to have a hiatus from one of the things I love the most, tattooing, until I've recovered to protect my immunity and allow me and my body to rest and attend all the appointments I need to.
I urge you all to hold onto your deposits for the meantime, tattooing is one of the things that will give me hope to push through this ugly thing. I'll contact you all when I have time about appointments being held off for now until I'm well. I may be able to tattoo occasionally in my early chemotherapy phases if I'm feeling well enough but that's a big 'if' at this stage.
I also urge you all to keep pushing with doctors if you have physical health symptoms you aren't being listened to about or regular testing like cervical screening or breast screening. I tried with lots of doctors to get to the bottom of this until one amazing doctor took me seriously and realised I wasn't just experiencing 'lady pains'.
I love you all and I know that with all the love and support behind me I will get through this, my youth and health are fortunately in my favour with survival. I'm not looking for any unsolicited health or business advice at this stage.
Thank you for reading ❤️❤️❤️❤️
