From Amy Bowyer
This is sixteen year old Amy Bowyer’s story, as we hear how a series of biopsies of a tumour behind her nose led to the diagnosis of Burkitt’s Lymphoma in July. Treated in Southampton Hospital, Amy explains how grateful she was to be looked after by such pleasant and positive staff and how this made a difference in helping her to get through it all. As well as telling her own story, Amy offers some sound advice to other teenagers, her main tip being not to worry too much or think too far ahead and despite the side effects of treatments, remain positive. Amy explains how hard it was to lose her hair, but after discovering the wonders of a top class celebrity hairdresser, recommends visiting Trevor Sorbie for a wig makeover! Moving on now and planning her ‘Make A Wish’ treat, Amy takes time to thank some of the people who made her journey a lot easier, including the CLIC Sargent team in Southampton and her friends and family, who were always at hand to put a smile on her face.

I’m glad that you are all on your way to recovery, you seem really happy now which is good and you are an inspiration to others. I’m sure that the friends that supported you will be closer now than before. It’s really good to hear how well you seem to have coped and your wig looks really good and it looks so realistic. Hope this will be the end of the journey.

Amy! So very proud of you and the way you stayed positive throughout what you were going through! I’m glad i was there to support you, and i hope i supported you enough! I didn’t find it hard to talk to you about it at all because you were so comfortable with talking about what you were going through and everything. Your hair looks amazing and underneath its growing back really fast!
You’re an inspiration to others and im sure your video will give others the confidence to talk about what they are going through themselves.I know myself and your other close friends who were there for you are so very proud of your positivity and confidence throughout your treatment, you still joked around and had a laugh with us!
I’m so happy that you got through this and now your all better. I hope you have an amazing time meeting the cast of Hollyoaks, can’t wait to see all the pictures! 🙂
