Hi, I'm Mandy from John and Mandy and this is where I'll be posting videos about me, the menopause, cooking and travelling in my campervan. You can follow me while I try to overcome all of my fears and become maybe a little more adventurous but for the most i'll carry on being my unadventurous self.

You can do this Mandy you are so strong . Love and hugs to you and John x x x
🫂
Big gentle hug
this may sound a bit stupid but i have cooling mats for my dogs (for when its very hot) but they are great. i have used then on my back when its hot and put them under my feet . amazon or the pet shop and they are not to expensive but take care you are amazing the way you share so strong xx❤❤❤
Send you a virtual hug xx❤
Mandy you are such a champion. You’re such a credit to yourself. And John is simply the best support. Keeping having your hugs and naps. I wish you an easier ride through this. ❤
Ah Mandy sending you hugs , I was admitted every cycle of my chemo …. You not stupid at all , it is too much ….i was always told not to take paracetamol and always go in if temp went above 37.6 …it’s a learning curve but as long as all those meds are doing their job you’ll get there, listen to your body and always ring your chemo unit if you feel like crap xxx
My heart aches for what you are going through 😢 💔 I am also so disappointed in myself as we are away for several weeks and on the South Bank. If only I had thought about it earlier, you both could have used our house whilst we are away and each had a bed. Sending you both so much love ❤️
That’s such a lovely offer ❤️ we do like our own beds though
🙏❤️👍 love you both be strong
Thank you for sharing, Mandy. Fight on.
Just you take care and stop worrying about being late informing us. You come first, and concentrate on you getting hopefully better. Really feel for you, hope you start feeling better soon and love to you both. Godbless you XX
Keep strong, Mandy. Much love. ♥
Big hugz ❤
stay strong Mandy, your stronger than you think. and coping the best you can, stop being hard on yourself, you going through so much, you still got this x x
❤
Well done John for your support for Mandy..so sorry to hear you're going through this Mandy, wishing you nothing but strength and health ❤
My heart goes out to you Mandy. Much love and very big hugs. Jan & Turner xx🐾🐾
💖💖💖 sending lots of hugs and healing energy!
Mandy be strong you can beat it. My heart goes to you
Once again thank you for your honesty, it's very informative for those of us who haven't been where you are (yet...). You just have to go against your nature and be totally selfish - eat when you want to; sleep when you want to etc. etc. John is obviously being a wonderful, empathetic 'mate' and doing a grand job looking after you. Hugs Ann
He’s being a wonderful husband and everything I need at the mo, I don’t know what I’d do without him ❤️
Hi love I'm sorry you haven't been well. It's really crap isn't it. I saw John in carpark as I was there Wednesday and Thursday all day even though it was supposed to be my week off. (?round 10). The weetabix thing is the same as me lol I went through 36 in a week. I sleep in a recliner as can't bear my bed for some reason so I sleep then wake between 3 and 4 and have to have weetabix lol but then around 7 have more. There are alot of things I now eat that I didn't like chicken and mince it's weird. The tireness is unbearable isn't it. I don't even have energy to walk to van most times and I can fall asleep anywhere! I've now got a clot on my lunch and this week I've got a clot around my picc so it's not working so they are going to put a port in. The shaking I've got so bad I'm on meds but the biggest problem for me is my sight. I can only see fuzzy outlines and I'm so scared it doesn't come back as queen's are baffled with me. Anyway flower keep going your unlucky you got all these crap things so soon. 😢 my scan is showing chemo is working but because of my clots so can't operate and going to have scan in August to see if they can take some of my tumours out to give me time. Keep going love I know it's so bloody hard and so emotional but us women are stronger than we think but sending big hugs love xxxxx
Ah chick ❤️❤️❤️ I did see you in the car park but we were late going in and you must have been inside when we came out. Hopefully the port will make all the difference so you can still get your chemo ok. Weetabix are definitely the thing at the mo, could be worse things to eat eh? Hopefully they can sort out your operation to remove some of those blighters to help you out a bit, glad to hear the chemo at least is working ❤️❤️ if it’s causing all the awful side effects. Keep going lovely, I’m always thinking of you and hopefully will see you soon
And back at ya love xxx
Thank you Miss Mandy for your courage, for your honesty, for carrying on, one step at a time. You are amazing! Praying for you and John. Have a friend who uses this phrase-- when someone is critical of what they have done " I prove I'm human every day, sometimes people witness it. Thank you for this educating (my name) Moment!". That stops all the criticism and name calling in its tracks.
Oh Mandy I feel so deeply for you I have forced myself to watch your videos ( being the wimp I am ) I have just been diagnosed with cancer of my lung and also have to have a biopsy under my breast to remove 4 lymph node’s for further tests had it not been for my family I would have gladly totally Ignored everything that was going on inside my body and said to myself what the hell I feel fine but my selfishness got the better of me I need to see my 6 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren grow I have a full week of pre ops and more biopsy’s looks like my touring caravan will be stuck on the drive for a few more weeks. Sending my best wishes for your full recovery take care. 😊
Just take one step at a time. The amount of information given can be overwhelming but don’t be afraid to ask them to explain things and simplify terminology so you leave less confused than you arrived. They’ll look after you well - UK cancer care is amazing! Sending strength and hugs to you ❤️❤️
It’s hard but keep your chin up ❤
You are so brave. I wish you nothing but love and strength.
You are amazing keep strong. . Make sure you do tell them really how you feel it might make you feel better that someone is actually listening to you. You are doing really well. What is the name of your coffee cup please?😅❤
I will do, thanks Pam ❤️here’s the link for the cup - I love it amzn.to/3WZQQYx
Don’t be so hard on yourself. Remember you are a Warrior. Sending hugs
Love and hugs xxx
Asking for help when you are a ‘coper’ is a really tough thing to do. You certainly aren’t ‘stupid’ trying to manage on your own. Now you realise the implications of those symptoms you’ll be making that call if, heaven forbid it happens again. You deserve kindness to yourself from yourself. You are doing amazing and chemo/radiotherapy is shite and you are finding your way through tricky terrain right now but you’ll get there, you put your walking boots on and trek one day at a time until you’re the other end of this pathway. There are so many people there to help you through the tumbles don’t forget. You’re amazing. Every day you have to make some of this walk you’re closer to the finish line. We are all here supporting you Mandy. Try to remember how courageous you are. Hope you have a really lovely weekend. Xx
Hi mandy when I had chemo I got those headaches they seemed to think it had somthing to do with the cool cap they were using but they wasn't sure it was a weird headache almost like if fresh air went up my nostrils it hurt , sending you lots of hugs ❤
Ah I don’t use the cool cap with chemo, it does seem to be a common thing though
@@unadventurousmandy yeh I think it's the side affects of chemo it irritates mucas membranes nose mouth etc xxx
Best Wishes Mandy. It sounds tough ❤
Nice to see you hope you feel Better soon good luck with everything xxx
Oh Mandy- that sounds horrible for you, and shame on those police for not being understanding. You’re having to deal with so much. Hugs are good. No consolation but all this unpleasantness is temporary….you will get through this. You absolutely will. As always you are constantly in our thoughts ❤
Don't be so hard on yourself. You have everyone backing you. Our love and prayers as always.
❤
Thinking of you Mandy with a lot of respect for you! We don't all see the other side, just the one that says " she's got cancer and is having Chemo" so to be able to see what you are going through "behind the scenes" puts a whole different story to it! Take care my love. X
You're both doing fantastically well. I've never been on the chemo side, but I've been the carer and it's incredibly hard. You're in the background of it all and yet incredibly important to the healing process for the person you're supporting. Well done John.
My goodness, you have really been going through it. Well done to that lovely man of yours. Thank you for sharing with us as we worry all thr time about you, so it's always good to hear from you. How much longer has you treatment time to go? Sending hugs and positive thoughts. Take care of yourself and phone that hospital if needed, don't delay xxx❤
My heart goes out to you having to cope with all the side effects of your treatment. Here’s hoping your path gets smoother in the days ahead. As I tell my girls just remember how you eat an elephant - one bite at a time. Good luck 💕
Sorry you're having such a rough time with your treatment, look after yourself xx
I feel for you - so much of ourselves and our control over everything gets lost in the steamroller of cancer treatment. If you are up to it, I can thoroughly recommend the free online courses offered by Look Good Feel Better to give you back a little bit of yourself and help to keep your spirits up x
Been there. Done exactly the same thing. Ended up in critical care. It’s vital you let them know as soon as you know something has changed. I did exactly the same because I couldn’t bare the thought of going back to hospital. We can be our own worst enemies. Take each day as it comes and act accordingly. You’ve got this. Take care.
Aww wish I could give you a high luv . Your doing awsome kick its arse do whatever ever you got to do to get thru each day. ❤. Feel bad for like your videos cos I don't like what your going thru , take are hun . Keep positive luv xxx
Thank you for sharing what your both going through. Such a brave lady. Sorry you are having a shitty time. Sending big hugs. Xxxxx
Mandy, you are an amazing lady and very strong despite what you think. John is wonderful and together you are the dynamic duo. Keep strong.
Mandy thanks for being so honest. You are doing so well with your treatment, you have my sympathy, my love and my best wishes. Thanks also to your Drs and Nurses. They see this all the time and know how to help. My love , best wishes to you and John. 🦋🦋
It sounds like you are really going through a rough time, I hope things improve soon Mandy, take care, sending my best wishes and love to you ❤xx
Massive hugs. 🥰
I hope things will be a bit easier for you soon, this is so hard to go through. Take good care of yourself, let others take good care of you, don't try to do too much, my granddaughter would sing LET IT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Best wishes to a wonderful courageous woman :-)
Thinking of you every day…I’m sorry that you’re having the rotten side effects…thank goodness for John and his kindness ❤
