So, this is my first proper post
I would just like to explain what my average day is like right now, while getting treatment (I'm bored in the hospital :P)...
So, at the moment I'm in hospital for a fixed 5 days, while I get a round of chemotherapy I wake up at around 8 am - the nurses then come and take my blood (I have this tube which goes through this vein close to my heart and so I don't have to keep getting needles). I then get hooked up to the chemo drugs - for the first hour, I feel really normal and the entertainers come round to the wards... This is when I get to sing and play my guitar and sometimes celebrities visit us! So it isn't too bad! However, after the first hour, I begin to get really tired and so I like to go on a little walk, it makes me feel better... Sometimes I go and see if there's any work I can do in my room, from the hospital school. When it reaches the third hour, depending on which medicine I'm getting, it can go two ways. I can either feel pretty sick, or I can start feeling better
I have another 10 rounds to go, out of the 15... They will then see how I get on
I hope everyone is well x

I admire the fact that you were able to write a post up, with so much passion, it shows the great amount of fight you have in you, and were always here for you throughout, even if you wanted to start your own random chat thread to use whilst at hospital, it's also a great way to get to know the community and those in it to.
What celebrities have you had the joys of meeting so far? - It's also great to see you getting involved with the entertainment that's going round
Shall keep you in my thoughts, and do let us know how Chemotherapy goes
Best wishes,

In 2010, I met Justin Bieber - last year, Union-J - the start of this year, Nicole Scherzinger and others have visited, but I didn't get the chance to meet them
Could you please explain the chat thread thing, please?
Thanks so much x
