Finally got our @thecurtisdavies (well, Tilly's lol) signed shirt, framed. It looks amazing! We LOVE it 😍😍
Can't wait to get it up on the wall once we find a suitable space

Tilly's final official school photo (she will be in 6th form/Year 12 next year)
When you look at this photo, It's hard to believe where she was almost 4 years ago
She's Amazing ❤️🎗

This is the main reason I stayed on Twitter so long, the love and support generated towards Tilly, on her 13th Birthday (October 28th 2021) was mind blowing ❤️🎗

When I see Tilly now, it's difficult to remember how poorly she got during the treatment for her Brain Tumour
She had 3 emergency events, that could have gone a lot worse than they did
She is always trying her best to cope

Tilly, from 6 years ago
It is believed that she had the Tumour about 3 years before this photo
There were some signs, but none that would conclusively show that she had a Brain Tumour
She was diagnosed in 2021
She is doing her best to rebuild her life

I help to raise money for Oscar's as they have been, and continue to be, very supportive of Tilly as she continues to rebuild from her cancer diagnosis at the age of 12, almost 4 years ago

This photo was taken just after Tilly had been down to surgery (just before her 3rd course of chemo in April 2021)
She was pretty weak and poorly at this point. She had her LarsensPride Jellycat, Bhagheera, which she kept with her everytime she had chemo 😻 #KeepSmilingTilly #BrainTumour

Tilly is 'helping' me get the front room ready to put the Christmas Decorations up
She's feeling tired as she has had a long day
She woke up at 5, and we had to go get her Covid & flu jabs (as she is immuno deficient due to her cancer treatment)
