Lucy Nannery

Today marks 7 weeks since my final chemo treatment. My hair is finally starting to come in quite quickly, and my eyelashes & eyebrows are growing back too! (woooo!) I stopped wearing my wig at work last weekend, which was a huge and nerve wracking decision for me, I was seriously freaking-the-f-out. So far no regrets, just chilly ears! I think the main thing is that people don’t expect to see…

End of March Round Up

This year is going super quick and to be honest I forgot how much time work takes up! I am still absolutely loving being back at work, I actually just wish I could be there more. One of my colleagues picked me up the most gorgeous Lush Oxford Street exclusive bubble bar, Down The Rabbit Hole. It was a special for Spring & smells just like the layer cake soap which I love, it is huuuge! I cannot…

Hello, it’s been a while again, I kind of forgot how much time work actually takes up. I am loving being back though! Lush is the greatest place to work ever, I just want to be there all the time and get stuck in, I feel better than I have in about 6 months! My hair is growing painfully slowly however, it has been just over 4 weeks now since I finished chemotherapy and to be honest there is not…

Happy International Women’s Day

I am lucky enough to have a whole bunch of wonderful inspiring women in my life. My Mum who is so beautiful and kind, and has been beyond amazing through the past few months. My Nan who is so full of love, so generous, funny and never afraid to speak her mind. My Great Aunt Elsie, who is like a bonus Nan (and my Nan’s Sister, lucky me!) Always by each others side, they are also both super amazing…

I have been on a week of rest since my last chemo so it has not been the most eventful. I am slowly starting to accept how long it is going to take to fully recover, no matter how impatient I am. However I am trying to do more every day, but I definitely need to start going on short walks as well as more little outings just to get used to doing more. My hair has already started growing back, be…

Hey guys, inevitably after writing just one of these I missed last week :( I suck. I have a very good reason which I will go into, unless you read my post last week in which case sip on down , but basically I ended up spending the whole of Sunday morning in hospital, and then I was so bummed out I just couldn’t deal. BUT here I am with Sunday Shinfo number 2. I have had a pretty weird week, I…

12 Things I wish they told me about chemo

So yesterday I finished with 6 rounds of R-CHOP Chemotherapy. I am so so happy to be ending this 18 week chapter of my life, it feels like its been more like 18 years. But to the looks of things so for it has been worth it, my body & tumour have both responded well to the chemo & I’m hopefully now on the homestretch to being cancer free. When you first find out you have cancer it is so…

Things I Do To Cheer Myself Up

I got a bit excited last week about coming to the end of my chemotherapy (this Thursday is my last treatment!) Unfortunately I have had a little set back and even though I am in my ‘good week’ I have been told I am not allowed to work. It’s really knocked me for six, and I am quite devastated tbh. I have to have 2 weeks of rest and feeling like crap, then one week of feeling almost ‘normal’ with…

After many years of toing & froing from each others houses me & my long term boyfriend Jamey are finally moving in together this year! It’s not happening until October, but I am so excited already. We have wanted to move in together for so long, but because of uni/work we have never been able. Then obviously me getting sick put a proper spanner in the works. BUT IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING! I found…
