00:00This is a video on my biopsy results. So I posted that first video on a Tuesday and then on Friday
00:08I messaged my miss that looks after me just basically because I know they have their big
00:13meetings on Friday just basically saying is there any news on my biopsy results can we hear
00:18and she was like we are bringing you up in this meeting so if there is any news I'll be calling
00:23you later. So all Friday oh god I couldn't breathe like literally went to meet the girls for a coffee
00:29and I was just holding my phone just like on loud like please ring and didn't call all day then I
00:35got home back to Nottingham with mum and then my phone rings and I literally run to mum and I'm like
00:42oh my god it's Kelly and basically it's good news and not like amazing news but it's better than what
00:51we were thinking. So basically there's four grades of cancer and grade one is your
00:59benign so like your non-cancerous grade two, grade three, grade four and mine is a grade two so
01:07it's the best of a bad situation so I keep looking down because my mates are there.
01:13So Kelly said that there's no evidence that it's a three and it's an astrocytoma
01:18and it's IVH mutant which to me means absolutely nothing. I either hear like good or bad news when
01:24I have these appointments. She did say it's in keeping with the load grade glioma so basically
01:31confirming that it is a grade two because there's not enough evidence to show that it is a grade three.
01:38With astrocytomas they can still climb the ladder of grading so over time and if left untreated
01:47they could gradually like my grade two could turn into a grade three, grade four so that's why the
01:5260% that I've got left will need to be treated still so being booked in with a lady at the hospital
01:58that looks at your treatment plans so we're going to talk about whether I'm going to go down the
02:03chemotherapy path or the radiotherapy. Kelly said that 10 years ago they wouldn't normally
02:09operate on these type of tumours, the load grade ones so I'm taking that as a promising thing that
02:17you know only now because we have the science and technology we operate and people were living
02:25with these 10 years ago so I think that's a positive. I'm going on Monday for an assessment
02:32on my wound again just because so like say this is the wound it's a line the top and the bottom bit
02:38is healed and it's looking really nice but the middle bit is still really scabbed and I think that's
02:43where my infection was so I sent a photo to Kelly and she basically looked at it and just said yeah
02:50we'll get you in on Monday to just see if we can remove it I think or like try and get it to come
02:56off so they can just check that everything's okay underneath it because there is a chance well there's
03:00not I don't feel awful but we just need to rule out that there's no infection under there because we
03:05need to get it healed as quick as possible because we can't start my treatment until my wound is healed
03:11because radiotherapy example if we go for that and I have a open wound it can break down the wound
03:18which I don't really understand but it didn't sound good and Kelly said it could lead to an infection
03:22so we have to wait so I think we're trying to rush through the process of the healing by removing the
03:28scab so we can get to the next stage not that it's urgent and a rush but just more so that it's
03:32we're not just waiting on a scab that we could just remove. So basically I'm either going to be
03:38having radiotherapy or chemotherapy and Kelly was obviously telling me all the side effects that
03:44could potentially happen one being losing my hair but I think that's fine
03:49like I kind of just said like that's the least of my worries I'll get wigs change my hair colour every
04:02every day every day every week it's fine I just want to move on from it
