A student tells a story of cancer treatment and its affects whilst studying.<\/h3>\n<p>Rebecca Shaw, a bubbly and chatty young girl, started university last September at University of South Wales, Pontypridd. She had been suffering with Hodgkins Lymphoma for almost two years. Rebecca tells me, as we sit in her room in halls of residence, \u201cMy biggest concern before starting university was how I would tell my flat mates.\u201d Her room is like any other 19-year-old girl\u2019s room; messy, scattered photos with friends, assignments piled on the desk and bottles of cider hidden at the top of her book case. \u201cI decided that I would do it in a way that was sort of funny \u2026 I found out that they were all sat in the kitchen and I just walked in with my wig in my hand, hair brush in the other, nothing on my head and just brushing my wig. That was my way of telling them I was bald, and if you want to know why, this is why.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28026\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28026\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-28026 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/01\/Family-photo-before-cancer-1-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28026 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/01\/Family-photo-before-cancer-1-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><\/noscript> Rebecca (left) and her family a year before she was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rebecca\u2019s journey began when she was just 17 years old. \u201cIt all started at Christmas in 2015 when I was feeling very ill.\u201d The doctors noticed she was scratching a lot so started treating her for eczema. \u201cWhen they gave me the treatment for eczema, nothing was hitting the spot \u2026 I was in a lot of pain and felt trapped in my own skin.\u201d Eventually she was referred to a blood clinic at the local hospital. \u201cAt the time I didn\u2019t realise the blood clinic was in the same area as the cancer treatment \u2026 they asked me if I wanted to know what I was being tested for and I said no. I didn\u2019t want to worry myself \u2026 A week later I returned to the hospital for my test results and they had confirmed Hodgkins Lymphoma.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> June 2016, Rebecca\u2019s life changed dramatically, and it was not a simple road to being cured. The first round of chemotherapy finished in November 2016 and after which she had a PET scan which would determine if the tumours had gone. \u201cI had that in the late December with my results in early January, which had shown my tumours had grown back.\u201d In June 2017, after further chemotherapy, the next PET scan results showed that she had, again, relapsed. Rebecca\u2019s consultant put her on a new drug. \u201cIt had a higher chance of putting me in slight remission. There was a chance that it would get rid of the tumours completely, but there was a very low chance of that.\u201d If the new drug improved her cancer slightly, it meant she could have a STEM cell transplant. \u201cBecause I kept relapsing, the only way I was going to see a cure for cancer was to have my bone marrow wiped out and my STEM cells put back in.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28018\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28018\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-28018 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/01\/Rebecca-asleep-in-hospital-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28018 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/01\/Rebecca-asleep-in-hospital-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><\/noscript> Rebecca in QE Hospital Birmingham during a second round of chemotherapy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In September 2017, the results from the next PET scan showed, miraculously, that the latest treatment had cleared all her tumours. \u201cBy this point, I had started university. At the beginning of October, I had a phone call to say there was a bed ready for me and that I needed to start my STEM cell transplant, so I went haring off with my mum.\u201d Rebecca spent three weeks in hospital receiving chemotherapy, which wiped out her bone marrow; her own STEM cells were then reintroduced. At the time of this interview, Rebecca was waiting for the results from her STEM cell transplant.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the whole period of her treatment, Rebecca had been undertaking her A-levels, and started a foundation degree in Forensic Science. \u201cWhen I was diagnosed, I was in my first year of Sixth Form. I decided I wanted to continue my studies as much as possible \u2026 but it was so much pressure for me when I found out I relapsed.\u201d Rebecca was hoping to gain an A-level in Biology, Chemistry and Maths. Unfortunately, due to her treatment, she only managed to get an A-level in Maths, and she sat her exams in both hospital and school. \u201cI wanted to be a normal 18-year-old. I didn\u2019t want cancer to control my life. I spoke to my mum and said I wanted to go to university and she suggested I did a foundation degree.\u201d She couldn\u2019t attend university when she was having her STEM cell transplant and missed several tests. \u201cIt was stressful because I had four weeks of work I had to catch up on, as well as continuing my studies. But I have worked hard at it and I am happy with how I managed it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28020\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28020\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-28020 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/01\/Rebecca-studying-at-her-desk-625x352.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28020 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/01\/Rebecca-studying-at-her-desk-625x352.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><\/noscript> Rebecca studying at her desk in halls of residence at university for upcoming tests<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rebecca took great pride when she discussed how her friends and family had dealt with the situation. \u201cIt has been a massive toll on my family.

Shortly after my interview she had her PET scan results on the 19<sup>th<\/sup> December to see if the STEM cell transplant had been a success. Christmas came early as she was told that there were no more tumours and she was finally in full remission. Even though she is still in recovery, she will now be able to restart her life, hopefully leaving cancer as a very distant memory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Rebecca&#8217;s five pieces of advice to those who are struggling with similar illnesses<\/h4>\n<p>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dealing with the stress of university and struggling with an illness is hard.
