Cancer patient's heartfelt message: 'Do it for your loved ones and keep fighting'

"For the last year my life has been the worst it can be.

"I got diagnosed with cancer last year, a brain tumor called medulloblastoma at grade 4. I had two brain surgery operations where my family was told I wouldn't make it after.I then caught a meningitis infection and we were told I probably wouldn't survive it

"I spent a whole month in two hospitals because I was so ill. The hospitals were Preston Royal and Christies in Manchester. I had to have 30 radiotherapies five days a week, then had a break before my chemotherapy.

"When I got to having chemo I suffered having sepsis not once but twice and then again we were told I wouldn't make it, and still to this date I'm having chemo with a damaged immune system, blurred eyesight and days where I'm vomiting...

"The reason I fought all this and I'm still here is because I thought of my sisters and brothers, my mum, my grandparents and my nan who is no longer here, and I thought 'how would they feel if I was no longer here to love and support them?' That's why I keep going: I love you all.

"To the people suffering from cancer like me, do it for your loved ones and keep fighting. Don't let it win."
