Full Week At School and GYMNASTICS!

After doing a full week at school back in September, I was very tired and it caused my chemo to be delayed. Since then, I have not managed to do a full week at school. I have slowly been doing more days. Until I eventually managed to do a full week!

At the start of my treatment I stopped going to gymnastics because I was getting too tired. After not going to gymnastics for a year, I have lost a lot of my flexibility. Also, the Vincristine chemo caused my muscles to weaken meaning I had to start again with gymnastics as I was unable to do very many of the moves I used to be able to do. I still decided to go back though, knowing I wouldn't be able to go back to doing the 3 hour sessions I used to do. Instead, I have started to go back to the 1 hour sessions. I have started to get a few of my moves back and I have been practising at home...

Feeling a little better

I am still getting tired after doing too much but I am starting to be able to do a lot more!

Last weekend we went to visit our friends in Kidlington and caught the train into London.

We then used the underground and came up in Green Park, which is just on the outskirt Buckingham Palace. We went to see the Palace and then had lunch in the park. Unfortunately, the Queen wasn't in but we still enjoyed looking at the Palace. We then did some sight seeing and we saw The Houses Of Parliament, Big Ben, which is still full of scaffolding, The London Eye, The Cenotaph, Westminster Abbey, Nelson's Column and Downing Street. We got the underground to Pudding Lane and we walked up 311 steps to the top of The Monument.

I managed to walk 10 miles round London and I did 25,000 steps!

It's....Showtime!

Every year, my school, Parklands do a dance show. This time last year I was having my surgery & the dance show was the same week! My mum & dad spent the week driving between the hospital and home as Milly was at school and was taking part in the show. The night before I had my surgery we all went to watch Milly in the show. I decided then that next year I would be on that stage performing!

A year later I was! The show that I have always gone to watch for the past few years.

Since September, we have been having constant dance rehearsals for the show.
I took part in five dances, two were the Y7, 8 & 9 Elite Dance Team, two were Y7 dance club & one was me & three of my friends performing Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" which we choreographed ourselves & had to audition to perform it, to celebrate me winning my cancer battle.

The show has now began and we have already done 2 dress rehearsals and one performance!

Clic Sargent Art Exhibition...

To make people aware of World Cancer Day this year (4th February) Clic Sargent held an art exhibition in Manchester at Whitworth Art Gallery.

I decided to promote my blog as an art exhibit and Clic Sargent picked out different parts of it to be exhibited. 

Extracts were framed and put up in the exhibition room. When we got there we saw our social worker (Hatty) and many others from Clic Sargent. There was a buffet table with snacks and drinks on and there were many other exhibitors.

Some were showing drawn pictures some were painted pictures and some were photographs but mine was the only blog. Everyone's artwork had to have the theme of 'change'. 

This was mine...
