00:00Hi, I just wanted to give you a breast cancer update. Not every post is going to be about that.
00:08Please don't think that.
00:10But firstly, I want to say thank you for so many messages. You've all been amazing and I really appreciate
00:21your support.
00:24So many of us are going through this. Some men, lots and lots of women, and I want to send
00:33my love and say thank you for sharing your stories.
00:37I really, really appreciate it. I'm not just saying that. I really do.
00:42I've had a wonderful weekend. My daughter Rebecca came up and because me and our kids live all over the
00:53country, we don't get to be together as much as we'd like.
00:56But yeah, Rebecca came up for the weekend and it was wonderful. Obviously, we got a little bit emotional at
01:03times.
01:04And she reminded me that I'm very tough. She says I'm hard as nails and I can cope with anything.
01:13But she said you don't have to be as hard as nails all the time.
01:17I am feeling quite vulnerable and scared now. But when I was 32, I beat cervical cancer.
01:25I had a hysterectomy and I was absolutely fine afterwards. And so I know I can beat this.
01:3490% of the time I know I can beat this. But I've got to go to the hospital Wednesday
01:42and they tell me exactly what operation they're going to do then.
01:46And then the operation is on Friday. I am scared now. I'm scared vanity wise.
01:54I'm scared what I will look like. I'm scared about hair loss or whatever. Things like that.
02:07I've lost a bit too much weight now, but I think it's just stress. I'm still eating, but I have
02:15to force myself to eat just, you know, because your body's so tense.
02:20But I'm good. I just mainly I want to send love to everyone. I didn't think I should have stayed
02:29at work for a bit longer because if I've got lines to learn and I'm busy, I cope with things
02:38better.
02:38But I maybe block things out. So I'm facing it and I'm doing really well. And I truly send my
02:49love to everyone.
02:50I'm doing really well.
