After everything that has happened in the last five years, my wedding day a few weeks ago was simply awesome.
It was in 2011 that my world got turned upside down when I was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
I'd been waking up with intense headaches and getting a funny metallic taste in my mouth for several months. My GP put it down to sinus problems, stress, and even the weather.
Then, a scan showed it was a grade 3 astrocytoma on the frontal lobe of my brain. My parents were so upset when we were told it was cancer my mum ran out of the room. But I was in shock, I actually laughed. I couldn't believe it. I was put on steroids and anti-seizure tablets straight away.
A month later, I went through eight hours of surgery to remove the tumour and was in hospital for 10 days. I was given the chemotherapy drug temozolomide, which was developed by Cancer Research UK, and was having radiotherapy at the same time every day for 6 weeks.
They were the worst weeks of my life. I felt so alone and I was tired of being ill and I really wanted to get better.
One of the hardest things was losing my hair. When it started to fall out and I had to have it cut, it felt like part of me was dying. I came home and cried. But now when I go to the hairdressers, I feel like a new person. I don't think I'll ever have it down to my waist again though because I'm not the old me anymore.
When the doctors said I was in remission, I jumped for joy and always thank the support of my family and friends.
But I always thought I would never meet my Mr Right. Everyone I dated since having cancer got scared or couldn't handle the fact that I was ill.
Then came along Daren. We started dating in November 2015 and in Mauritius this year he proposed. It was a whirlwind romance and we got married on 28th October and have now we just moved into our new house. I look forward to starting a family soon and having great adventures with my soulmate.
I feel like I've been given a second chance at life and I don't want to waste it. I used to think "Oh I'll do that another day" but not anymore. Now I live every moment to the full. I do things I wouldn't normally do such as abseiling down Battersea Power Station and the Mittal Orbit in Olympic Park and doing a shark dive. I have travelled to Goa and Canada and I just want to live life to the max. And as Daren and I haven't had a honeymoon yet we are planning an African safari for 2017.
I'm so thankful for temozolomide, which are tablets that you take every morning - luckily for me and I'm sure many others they work. I'm so grateful and am passionate about encouraging more research.
