On the 17th of November 2011 I was diagnosed with ALL leukaemia after several weeks of sickness and tiredness. I was then transferred that morning from the Bradford Royal Infirmary to the Leeds General Infirmary to start intense chemotherapy, I was in for that month receiving chemo and other medication before eventually being discharged on the 17th December 2011, all seemed to be well over christmas apart from the small side effects of meds.However after collapsing at home shortly after the new year I was admitted to hospital yet again, I went through just less than a month more of chemo and feeling horrible before I was moved to the PICU.. I was in there for exactly a month in the same room hooked up to a ventilator, I probably had every infection and every type of medication under the sun before the doctors found out I had a rare disease called HLH. Luckily I was one of the few survivors of this disease and I went on to spend another 4 months in hospital having even more treatment and learning to walk again due to complete muscle wastage, this took a lot longer than I remained in hospital for and I was back on my feet by around September that year, I finished physio around 6months later. From there it has been a gradual recovery and I'm currently in school much more often and I'm going to hospital once a month for check ups!
