Solo Travel Toronto Vlog: Physiotherapy, New Medication, Book Haul, Life as a Cancer Survivor

Hi everyone! Today's video is a solo travel vlog to Toronto. I went on the train and the subway by myself for the first time and I decided to take you along with me for the milestone. As most of you know my uncle had been driving me to all my appointments and I finally reached the point where I am able to travel myself and gain some independence. I also share with you the books that I have been reading and also a book haul from a second hand book store. On the weekend in this video I also bought two pairs of shoes so I show you a shoe haul and a try on haul. We also went to a new vegan fast food restaurant which was delicious. I hope you enjoy this video and if do don't forget to like and subscribe so you don't miss another video. Thank you for all your support!

[@kathyglenn7773]

So happy to hear from you Becky. I'm proud of you it can be daunting traveling my yourself I know the feeling. Love the shoes. Much ❤️

[@beckyshields]

Thank you🥰❤️

What an accomplishment taking yourself to two hospitals by train and subway, by yourself for the first time! And then to hear all the walking you did with no resting and you weren’t exhausted when you got home. Then to physio! I’m so happy for you! Well done.
I love your shoe choices and such great bargains, another thing towards as you say ‘getting back to the real world.’ You have a lot of things to get prepared for school and I wish you all the best getting organized and prepared for your next phase of life.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words❤️

Oh Becky you have hit the nail right on the head because as you say once treatment is over you can be left feeling so lost, anxious and not really knowing how to cope with all the overwhelming feelings you have as you try to transition back into being just a person and not a cancer patient. I found it took me several months to work my way through all the thoughts and feelings I was having, so much to process!
It was so lovely to see you spreading your wings and getting to grips with what comes naturally to most young adults of your age …. Before you know it you will be flying 😊
Glad you and your lovely Mum had a few nice trips out together. Oh I love all of Lisa Jewels books, no wonder your Nanny couldn’t put it down.
I wait with interest to see your video on survivorship, i think it’s a subject that a lot of cancer patients will really relate to.
Take care Becky xx

[@beckyshields]

Thank you for sharing your experience with me❤️ and thank you again for such encouraging words❤️

I'm so proud of you!
Your friend who gifted you those earrings was so sweet. I loved what she wrote in her card. Beautiful tear drop earrings!!
Love both pair of shoes you got, they look so comfy.
Take care of yourself.

Hi Becky: I apologize for taking so long to watch your video. My hubby is getting a double knee replacement in June and we have been running around getting things that he will need when he comes home after surgery. I may not be able to watch your videos right away when my hubby comes home from surgery because he will need my support, but please know that I will get to your videos as soon as I can. Congratulations on taking the train on your own. It is a big deal. You are taking steps and moving forward with your life which is wonderful. So many wonderful books for you to read Becky. I love your shoes. What great deals!! I always look forward to your videos Becky. Transitioning back into "the real world" is an excellent topic to discuss. Sam had difficulty in the beginning transitioning back and I totally agree with you that this topic is not discussed nearly enough. Please give your mom my best and if your nan is back from visiting her sister, please give her my best as well. Big hugs and kisses.😍😍🥰🥰💙💙🧡🧡 Silvie

You are so kind and good luck to your husband on his surgery, I hope he has a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery❤️ yes survivorship is not talked about enough so I am happy to hear that you think it will make a good video❤️

[@heidi1651]

🙂 Ooo... I love all of your adventuring, books, shoes, and yummy food. Good for you for giving the train a go and I am checking out a few of those books you spoke on. I am still reading "The Maidens" lol along w a few spiritual books. My radiologist said she doesn't think my cancer will return and said in another 4yrs I won't have any more scheduled checks. Good but super weird and a bit unnerving. I would love you to speak on survivorship. Also I snuck down to the morgue after my appointment. 😊 Might sound strange but I love all things end of life- special interest of mine. I hope to provide palliative care one day. 💕

[@beckyshields]

I’m so happy to hear that wonderful news❤️ but I understand, it’s hard to believe it’s over and I think it’s normal to have mixed feelings. That is very interesting I had a presentation in university about palliative care and the session was pretty powerful

[@carolw5247]

Bravo!! I'm 62 and haven't traveled on my own very much. I applaud your bravery.

[@beckyshields]

Thank you so much🥰

[@BookswithGrandma]

This ia such a great video! I'm super happy for you that you were able to navigate using all of that public transportation! It is not easy and can be very confusing.
Thanks for posting!

Books are always better than the movie!

[@beckyshields]

Yes I tend to agree🥰

[@mkrp4]

[@beckyshields]

Thank you☺️

[@voulav4401]

I live in the same region. Could you tell me the name of the shoe store please?

[@beckyshields]

It’s the new Soft Moc in Ajax!
