my fight with acute lymphoblasic leukaemia;
march 1999 - january 2012.
march 1999;
i was a year old..and it was a couple of days before my second birthday. i remember this day clearly, it's one of my earliest memories. i was on holiday with my mum and dad, we were having an amazing time, but then i became very very ill. i stopped talking, walking, eating and i had gone completely pale. my mum thought it was just an infection but was very wrong. after about 24hours of being sick my parents realised something was seriously wrong, they few me back to england on an emergency flight home. that flight i had difficulty breathing due to the pressure in the cabin, i could've died there in my parents arms and they would never ever know why, but i was obviously born strong and survived the whole way home. as soon as we arrived home i was rushed into A&E. my mum says 'they took you, my tiny little baby away and there was six to seven doctors around you i just didn't know what to do'. they did various tests and sent me to the royal marsden hospital in sutton. from there they discovered i had leukaemia..(ALL) and that within the next couple of hours i would be fighting to keep my life. within 3 hours they started my treatment and from there began my fight, to stay alive. they told my parents i had six months at the most to live. my life changed from that day forever.

i am now in remission of leukaemia, i am a living a normal life and am evidence that miracles do happen and that you can beat anything and prove anyone wrong. i never ever thought i would get better. i thought cancer would be with me forever, but it isn't.
i want to say thank you to my wonderful parents for making me the amazing girl i am today, for going through the pain and suffering, for taking me to and from hospital, for the sleepless nights, for the days out, for the moments that i will cherish for the rest of my life, for making me smile & laugh no matter how much you hated to see me suffer, for the countless times you've held back tears for me and lastly for the pain of having to be told i've had yet another relapse. i love you both so much and i will never ever forget the amazing things you have done for me. oh and dad, thanks for the suffering you went through when i took you to see justin bieber;) oh and mum thanks for the times you let me go out shopping as soon as i had come out of hospital. now i realise you guys did all these things for me, no one else.
thank you to one direction and justin bieber, for making me smile when i felt like falling apart.
and thank you to my beautiful followers who have got me through the past month. i love you all tremendously.
thank you for reading this!
