UMV98 - An insight into my Cancer treatment

- Here’s a little insight into both Chemo and Radiotherapy treatments that I do. The staff at the hospital are always so lovely and helpful but I’ve had to have a few awkward conversations lately and have been given some unusual items to help me.
Hi Mandy, I'm not sure how unique this is but, i suspect that a lot of people on their cancer journey will have been watching your video in the unit and either thinking " thats what happened to me" to their families, or thinking, "so now I've seen that machine, I'm no longer scared", and much more besides. You're one of those special people doing special things that other people often wonder about, and hoping perhaps to be should the opportunity arise. Im very proud of you and of John. Take care. 👋🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦
I passed you in Hull coming out of radiotherapy. It was my last one because I am on palliative care. So short date for me. Be positive you will get to the end. Ring that bell
Hope all the best for you.
Sending love, hugs and good wishes. 🤗

Sorry to hear this live I'm in the same boat. Queens is our second home big hugs xxx
Best wishes
I can only imagine that this video brings some comfort and reassurance to people who are going through or about to start cancer treatment . You are a wonderful lady mandy and i wish you lots of love and positivity on your journey ❤
This is SO informative, Mandy! I think that a link to your videos should be part and parcel of the information packs that newly diagnosed people are given! Taking away the mystery helps in a big way to take away the fear.
Thanks for doing this.
I hope your treatment continues smoothly, and that you'll soon be fit as a flea. xx
Mandy you are a inspiration to everyone I am humbled by your
Positive attitude ❤
You will be ok 👍
Lots of love Mandy. You're doing great! 💚💚💚 xxx
Mandy, take each step at the speed you need. Rest well, eat as well as you can, and I hope you are pain free. Recover well. xx
Thanks Mandy for giving us the opportunity to see what happens during these procedures. It's not something that is given enough public insight so it is much appreciated that you managed to take us along with you. Lovely to see you doing so well, hoping it stays that way now til you get to ring that bell🙏 Take care.
My mother in law got blood cancer (one of those bad ones...), but luckily there was this genius who found a new treatment. She lasted for 18 more years!
Her daughter sang at the Nobel Party in the Blue Hall (Stckholm), and the Laurate who invented her medicine was one of the Laurates present. It was special.
Every daily dose cost £5000, ish. But this is Sweden, so it was like your NHS, it was free.
There's a moral to this story, and people with healthcare know what I'm talking about.
Lots of well wishings from my family to yours!
It's so good of you to share your experiences having cancer treatment, I'm sure it will help a lot of people on that journey, you are doing so well Mandy big hugs! ❤
Oh joy…..how lovely to get to discuss your bits with everyone. Just leave your dignity at the door Mandy and pick it up on the way out. You seem a no nonsense person, but still, it must make your eyes pop a bit.
Brachytherapy, I think, is what my mother had many years ago for a tumour in her eye post surgery. Kept her eye and her sight so it was a saviour for her as it will be for you. 🤗
You are doing so well Mandy.....an inspiration....they say knowledge is power so seeing what the treatment entails can give those who are about to be going through the same treatment some peace of mind.....keep on being the positive upbeat amazing you!
Thank you for showing us what the treatment looks like. It takes some of the mystery out of whole ordeal. Suzane
You are really going through it and still putting on that brave face. Thank you for sharing and educating us. I have everything crossed that this time in your life passes quickly, and you are able to look back and see that it's all in the past. Good luck Mandy, you are such a lovely down to earth lady xx
Oh WOW! the noise in Chemo would drive me mad! I thought the Radiotherapy would be the noisy bit - though it may also be very noisy like the MRI machine. Thanks for showing us. Glad you are almost through all of the treatment and can begin to see an end to all the hospital visits. I was reading an article about how they are considering re-classifying Menopause as a neurological condition due to the affects on the brain of various hormone and other chemical changes it causes - If I can send it to you in a DM I will.
Mandy, you are truly inspirational. Not only are you going through this but you are taking us all with you. I lost my mum to cancer over 15 years ago and I had no idea what she had to go through so being able to feel like I am on this journey with you is providing me with some closure that she was looked after as best she could be! How fabulous are the people who are looking after you and allowing you to share some insight into your journey. High five brave lady!
Mandy, thank you for showing us your journey, you are an inspiration, keep smiling.😊
Mandy you’re doing so well. You’re a trojan to still be working both jobs, having treatment and carrying on with daily life - you deserve the nanny naps! The radiation machine looks an awesome piece of machinery! Thank you for sharing your journey 💕
👍 another excellent video, Mandy 👌. I'm sure this will help many others. When I was going through my treatments of surgery, chemo, radiotherapy and 10 years of medication with horrible side effects (I had 2 primary cancers diagnosed within a 9 month period), there were very few videos available, but at least there were online support groups where questions could be asked. I think it's great that you and others are posting videos about their cancer journeys. All the best to both yourself and John ❤
I really hope you realise how amazing you are, not only are you tackling your cancer journey with strength and courage, you are tackling it with humour and still managing to work. Your video of the radiotherapy will absolutely help anyone watching should they ever face the same treatment. Take care x
You came up in my suggested videos. I have had brachytherapy, Ito put your mind at rest,I didn’t really need my dilators, everything is Hunkydory. Not sure what type of cancer you have, I will be going back to watch your videos.
I’ve just had surgery for cancer number 3 in less than 15 years,thankfully I won’t need chemo this time 🤗 I’ve documented some of my journey on my very small chsnnel
Sending best wishes
Going through the mill. You are doing amazing & John is a treasure. Take care, love & hugs ❤
Sending you both prayers, good vibes and juju. Sharing your journey encourages those that are going through a similar situation. Sending gentle hugs 🫂
Bless you both. You've got this Mandy, you are so inspirational.

Well done Mandy stay strong and thanks for thinking of others in midst of what you're going through yourself
Amazing to see the equipment, doesn't look as scary as I thought it might be.😊
Reminds me of when I had my radiotherapy although I had to strip off at the top. You are looking so much better but understand about the fatigue, it just hits you doesn’t it? Glad giving you all the other information as relationships are important to, take care you are smashing this xx

Mandy, thank you for sharing your journey. Fantastic video and so brave of you to do so.

Keeping taking care and get plenty of rest . You are amazing, have a lovely weekend together with your new bedtime reading ! 😜🤗

Fascinating. You are so brave and awesome to share this. Very informative. Sending lots of love and best wishes.
Thank you for showing that, I'm sure that will be very good for anyone facing it, and it was really interesting even for those of us who are not. (Some of us might appreciate you sharing the notes on how to get your libido back 🤭)You are looking and sounding a lot better since the chemo stopped.
Great insight Mandy , I’m sure it will help folk. Don’t forget how great you are ……..Love to you both ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
OMG! Ta for sharing, so personal & breathtaking! Take care, best wishes!
Keep strong mandy❤
You've got this. 👊✊
Loving the smirk 😏😁😅
Such a helpful video .When my son had cancer age 14 in the 70,s his marking were felt tıp which i regularly had to top up..It must never be forgotten that as well as the patient the partner and family suffer when a loved one has cancer treatment so best wishes to John for his support.❤️
Huge hugs n loads of love to you both ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I first came across you and John as I follow Louise and Emily(camper vibe) and watched the video of you lot sledging, where John was mad enough to sledge down that hill😊 your all such lovely people. I think it's great that you are videoing the cancer machines as it shows how they work. My mum unfortunately died of cancer 32 years ago all we saw was her going to hospital we didn't get told by our parents what it was and luckily treatment has developed since then. Just keep doing what your doing as information is very helpful. Have a lovely weekend both of you🥰
Stay strong Mandy ❤❤
Thinking about you and John all the time. Every day is a step closer to the end of treatment. What an amazing lady you are, not sure I could be anywhere near as brave and strong as you are petal. Look after yourself.
Thank you Mandy
Hi mandy thank you for sharing .keep that fight going
Interesting vid Mandy, good to see you feeling better 😊 Thanku for sharing, must admit that other treatment sounds pretty horrific, your so brave. Sending lots of Love to you both. ❤x
Love Mandy keep going your doing very well❤❤❤
Every day is journey for the cancer patient and spouse. I know it will be a good day when my wife bounces out of bed. It truly makes my day. We went for bloodwork today, before the next chemo, and her CA-125 level has fallen from extremely high to low normal. CT scan tomorrow to check progress.
Hugs and thoughts from Sweden 🥰
Mandy you are amazing.
You go girl! Big hugs ❤️
I have to say that you're an inspiration to all those going through the same or simular. I'm sure at times you feel worn out, but your positive mental attitude shines through Mandy. You seem to be taking it day by day and the results show improvement due to your ability to be strong and to continue fighting. Your Team around you prove they care by asking the awkward questions, which is a good thing. Stay strong Mandy, and keep smiling as always... John x

I'm very proud of you Mandy. You are very brave and showing your treatment will help others and reassure them that its not as scary as they think. You're doing great. Keep smiling and remain positive. You got this! sending you lots of love and best wishes🙏- Kenny.
You look so much better than you did, and you are slowly getting closer to the finish line. Wishing you all the best and strength for the rest of your treatments.
Keep smiling lovely lady. You are smashing it. xx
That machine looks amazing 😯 not long now the end is in sight had more treatment than ther is to come. Get lots of rest and look after yourself. It was brilliant to see your treatment. Must help people who are waiting to start ther treatment and take some of the worry and fear away. 👍🤗😘❤️
Thankyou for sharing this, I had seen a photo of the machine but didn't realise it goes all around you like that. I live in New Zealand and currently going through treatment for breast cancer, I've had two surgeries and am about to start radiotherapy, I have my planning appointment next week and I am actually more nervous about the radiotherapy than I was about having surgery. Thanks for showing its not so scary, you are amazing. Wishing you all the best.
I’m so glad showing the radiotherapy helped you. It’s a painless process as is the planning appointment ❤️ you’ll just need to hold your breath a little rather than have a full bladder like me
Hi Mandy you are so positive and thanks for sharing what you go through. Huge hugs to both you and John ❤
You're doing great Mandy. You'll crack it all in no time. The information you are covering must be so useful for anyone about to have similar treatment. Love Jomin France 🇫🇷
Thank you for sharing and great to hear you are feeling brighter x
Love to see you Mandy, you look so well
