What’s the strangest gift you’ve ever been given?
Mine is blood. Lots of blood. Oh and some plasma too.
See, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma last year and it was the shock of my life. I’m 31, fit, healthy and apparently had cancer riddled all through my body
At least I now had a bloody good excuse for all those missed gym sessions and hardly having the energy to do anything on the weekends except collapse into a heap and binge watch Outlander.
I had to start chemotherapy straight away and it turns out chemo ain’t all it’s cracked up to be (I mean it did save my life) but it can make you very weak and anaemic.
Many cancer patients will require a blood transfusion at some point.
