Finally got my scan results, I have officially beaten cancer! It may only last for about 10 years but shit, I'll take it.

- Well today I got to ring the victory bell. 9 months of chemo complete! Got a scan next month to make sure everything is good so fingers crossed.
- So I've had my biopsy results. My tumour was a stage 3 cancer, which is malignant so reasonably bad. What this means is that to ensure that I fully beat this I will require radio/chemo therapy. Should start that in a few weeks time. But, I've got this.
- Somehow, despite being 4 months into my Chemotherapy, I can officially say my hair has grown back! Still a couple of thin patches but hey, I thought I was going to be bald until next year so big win for me.
- This is going to be my last health tweet for a while. I wasn't sure if I should tweet about it but I've kept you all up to date so far so... Here goes. TLDR: My brain cancer is incurable. If all goes to plan, the doctors are giving me 10 years to live.
- I didn't initially want to tweet about my battle with brain cancer because I didnt want to seem like I was looking for attention (although I totally was). I'm glad I did because the support has been overwhelming and a much needed pick me up, so thank you! ❤
- So my brain surgery is scheduled for Feb 7th. If all goes to plan, they should be able to remove enough cancer that I can finally have a life again without much in the way of follow-up treatment. Fingers crossed!
- Radiotherapy has left me with a rather... unique hair style. This is what the pinnacle of Male fashion looks like. This is the peak all others can only dream of attaining.
- I've done it. Radiotherapy is finally over! Here is a sexy picture of me with the NHS supplied gimp mask I've been wearing. You're welcome.
- Off for wee spot of brain surgery tomorrow morning. Going to be MIA for a little bit, I will update you all as soon as I'm able, which should be either tomorrow night or Saturday. Wish me luck and I'll be back soon with a kick-ass scar. Love you all ❤
- Health update: after many appointments and scans they found a tumour on my brain. Not the greatest news I've had but it's in an easy to reach place so should only take one operation to get the entire thing out.
