Cancer robbed my husband & I of so much, but couldn't rob us of our wedding day, no matter how hard it tried! We were married on Saturday 19th October 2024 and I am now officially Mrs Amy Weller. β€ I walked down the aisle wearing a wig, I embraced my natural eyelashes & eyebrows which are just starting to grow back after 6 months of chemotherapy, I wore a wedding dress that displayed my port, and we all wore something pink in honour of all those affected by breast cancer... because you know what? I am proud of my scars, and everything my body has been through, and I'm proud of everyone who has to face this hideous disease. Everyone deserves happiness in their lives, even when you are gravely ill. I have the most wonderful man by my side, and he has been standing by me for the past 11 years! I'm so blessed and grateful for him β€

Hi Everyone! My family and I are doing the 'brave the shave' on the 12th June to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. As you know, I am currently fighting triple negative breast cancer and undergoing treatment. Due to the treatment I am having, I will lose my hair so I've decided to take control and shave it off! My auntie, mother, and fiancΓ© are supporting me and are braving the shave too. This means so much to me and I am so grateful for their support. I have set up a fundraising page and 100% of proceeds will be going to Macmillan Cancer Support. Macmillan have been providing me with fantastic support since I was diagnosed with cancer so it is a privilege to be able to raise money for such a worthy cause. If you would like to donate to this fundraiser then I have posted the link below but please do not worry if you can't at this time. Thank you all so much for all of your incredible support, Amy.

I am undergoing 6 months of chemotherapy treatment for triple negative breast cancer. I have currently had 4 rounds of treatment and despite suffering from severe side effects and some complications, I am still here and still fighting. I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer on the 19th April 2024 and this is a very rare and very aggressive type of breast cancer. At the time of my diagnosis, cancer was detected in both my right breast and some lymph nodes. There also appeared to be spread to nearby tissues although not to distant organs and intent is to cure me of this disease. I am only 30 years old and considered very young to have breast cancer, but I'm living proof that cancer does not discriminate and you are never too young to have cancer. I was severely let down by a doctor who dismissed my symptoms of breast cancer, and put a lot of my symptoms down to anxiety, but thankfully I am now in the right hands with medical professionals who have my best interests at heart and are keeping me safe and looking after me. I am learning to trust again and have faith in my team. After chemotherapy, I will need several surgeries on my breast and lymph nodes to remove the cancer cells, as well as radiotherapy but for now I'm not thinking too far ahead of myself and I'm taking things one day at a time. This is a lot to process - cancer has taken a lot away from me. My confidence, self esteem, independence, my chance to harvest my eggs to preserve fertility, my hair, my breasts, my business... However, it will not take away my determination, strength, courage, resillience, and bravery. I will keep going and I will keep fighting. I will enjoy my good days. I will keep laughing and smiling when I can. I will appreciate life. I will keep campaigning for change. I will keep raising awareness of breast cancer in young women. I will help others through my fight. I will share my story to achieve these goals. Thank you for all being behind me and sticking with me. Keep doing your body checks and do them monthly. Know your normal and seek medical advice ASAP if something doesn't feel right, no matter where in your body the concerns are. Never be embarrased and be an advocate for yourself and stay vigilant because it could save your life. Amy x

I can't believe I'm writing this, I really can't. I'm still in shock and it still doesn't feel real however it is. 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with a rare and very aggressive form of breast cancer and I am about to start treatment to hopefully cure me of this cruel, horrible disease. Like many young women with breast cancer, many of my symptoms were put down to hormones, injuries, or infections and I felt at times I wasn't being taken seriously. I pushed for a referral to a breast clinic and got an ultrasound scan which showed a suspicious mass in my right breast and enlarged lymph nodes. I was told then by the radiographer that this was most likely cancer and to prepare for the worst. I spent the next 2 weeks in turmoil, the waiting was horrendous and painful, I screamed, I cried, I kept asking 'Why me? Why now? Why at only 30 years old?'. The biopsy results came back as cancer and I was diagnosed with the rarest and most aggressive form of breast cancer - triple negative breast cancer. What followed was emergency mammograms, CT, and MRI scans which showed I was in advanced stages of the disease, stage III, and this is very common in young women due to screening starting over the age of 40 and cancer being detected later, and also many young women being failed by the system telling them they are too young to have cancer. Due to how advanced my cancer is, treatment needed to start ASAP if I still stood a chance of being cured, and harvesting my eggs was strongly advised against as it would delay my treatment. I was told the treatment would most likely leave me infertile but they offered to give me monthly injections to temporarily stop my ovaries from working and protect them from damage which could improve my chances of fertility after treatment. I am so grateful for that opportunity and for being given hope in an extremely dark time. I am determined for something good to come from this, I'm going to fight as hard as I can and raise more awareness for breast cancer in young women because no one is exempt from this disease. You are never too young, too healthy, or too fit to get cancer and it's really important to stay vigilant, do your checks, know your body, and get an urgent referral to a clinic if you are concerned about cancer. Signs and symptoms of breast cancer can include: a new lump or thickening in either breast, tenderness or pain in the breast, dimpling, puckering, or indentation of the breast or nipple, a change in size or appearance of the breast, nipple discharge, orange peel like texture of the breast, pain, swelling, or lumps under the armpit, breastbone, or collarbone (which could suggest lymph node involvement).
If anything should happen to me, my family and friends have promised me to continue this mission and purpose in life, but I'm determined to be around and be a part of this plight myself. Take care everyone and we will try and update you when we can. Amy πππ

Hi Everyone, just posting a surgery update βΊοΈπ I am doing better than I was and am slowly recovering from surgery. I am in less pain now and my hearing is improving which is good news. I had surgery on my ears after I was diagnosed with a rare progressive disorder affecting the hearing and balance in both of my ears. I had complications during surgery and unfortunately, it failed. I was given an alternative treatment but it is only a temporary solution to the disorder, so it's been very distressing, worrying, and frightening for me not knowing what the future has in hold and being limited on long term treatment options. Losing a main sense has on a personal level been extremely difficult & debilitating. I'm trying to remain positive and I see my surgeon at the end of the week for a post operative appointment. I'll be discussing the surgery in full detail then and what the next steps and future plan is for me. Thank you for all of your supportive messages across social media, it means so much to me πππ P.s. these flowers were from my grandma!! π₯°

Hi YouTube friends π You may have seen on my Instagram that I've just come home from hospital after a major surgery. I've been quite poorly for some time and over the last year I've had many tests, scans, and investigations done to try and get to the bottom of what was wrong with me. A few months ago I was misdiagnosed with another condition and it caused me even more problems. Finally, everything was linked back to a rare and progressive ear disorder. I had surgery a couple of days back to try and help but I suffered complications and it failed. I'm in a lot of pain and my hearing is terribly distorted, but I'm trying to stay positive and I see my surgeon next week to discuss my next steps. I honestly hoped the surgery would bring me some relief and help get my life back on track, but it didn't and as devastated as I am I'm trying to remember that everything happens for a reason. I'm desperate to get back into YouTube, upload my videos, help people, and share my love of art but health must always come first. I know my fans understand this and support me. This is just another bump in the road, but I'll get there in the end. Thank you for all your support π

I've been in and out of hospital for the past week after covid triggered an underlying health condition and immune response in my face. Currently home and resting on my third lot of antibiotics but I'm feeling really unwell, unable to hear hardly anything from my ears, and I have a chronic infection that isn't clearing in my ears, sinuses, and face. I'm in a lot of pain and unable to work at all at the moment. I miss doing my art and uploading YouTube videos but suffering non stop from this debilitating disorder π’π I love you all to bits and thank you for your support
