Welcome friends,
As promised (and discussed with some of you who recommended I do this- thanking you Mum, Auntie Kirsten and Jo) here is my blog all about my Bertie Tickle as he has become affectionately known.
As most of you know on Monday 5th August I was diagnosed with what they believe so far to be a low grade glioma brain tumour- I am still waiting for my consultation with my Neurosurgeon to confirm lots of things. We now know this will be next week. I will be updating here with the info on that as soon as I can.
I wanted to start a blog to a. document my experience as a young person going through this and b. so that potentially on my days where I am not so great or not up for speaking, you can come here and find out the latest.
There are sooo many of you to keep in touch with (I am truly blessed in many ways and I love you all) I felt this was just the best way to keep you all in the loop in a fun and informative sort of way. I have no idea where this blog will go but please join me on this journey.
...all aboard for The Extermination of Bertie Tickle!
With lots of love
Xx Gem
