Thank you all
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this blog, but the time has now come.
Unfortunately, we have received the devastating news that my liver cancer is now not controllable and I have no further treatment options available to me.
This is likely to come as a shock as I know just a couple of weeks ago I said I was starting a new set of chemotherapy drugs and there was some hope. I was able to tolerate six sessions of this drug but was told last Friday that my cancer was not responding to it and is now ravaging my body.
Therefore I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been following me.
I know you will respect my wishes that I now want to spend as much time as possible with my family and very close friends with as much time as I have.
Legacy
I hope that I may have inspired you in some way with how I have handled my time with cancer and how it hasn't always 'got in the way'.
Cancer has brought some wonderful things and opportunities to my life, and has pushed me to do things I may not have done otherwise. I am so proud of what I have achieved as a woman, as a woman with cancer, as an awareness raiser, as a fundraiser. For Susie and I to have had a room named after us at the Worcestershire Breast Unit is one of my proudest achievements.
I know I couldn't have done all of this without my incredible family and friends and to them I will be forever grateful.
I hope I have also made you smile and would like to remind you to be kind always and try and give back where you can. I can't tell you what fundraising and awareness raising has brought to my life. It has enhanced and enriched it.
So it's time to say goodbye and thank you and I'm sending my love to all.
Please enjoy your life. Don't have regrets. Don't put things off. Don't take your health for granted. Time is so precious.
Yours always,
Kate. xx
