UMV99 - Seaside, an MRI and a Birthday

We actually managed to get away and boy aare we glad we did! Also we are so majorly out of practice for filming things we hardly did anything there! We met up with our friends Dave and Jo with their whippets but didn't film a thing! I need to get better at taking photos of my friends as looking through my phones photo album to find pictures to post pictures of John for his birthday made me notice so many great photos of our friends that I'd forgotten I had!
I had my first Head MRI which was very straight forward but also very freaky after only learning that they put a cage over your head to hold it in place when they were actually doing it! Freaked me out a little bit, forewarned is forearmed as they say.
And it's Johns birthday today so after the obligatory trip to the hospital, we went back to Urban to get burgers and fries and to Dunkin' Donuts for a sweet treat.
Last day of Radiotherapy tomorrow and i'll be glad to see the back of it all. It does mean its that bit closer to the brachytherapy that i'm not looking forward to but I have to do as I'm told and crack on!

[@bernadettemetheringham9130]

It is brilliant to see you looking so wall Mandy, it was interesting to see how your treatment was going, have a great time at Whitby. John wishing you a wonderful birthday. Love to you both. 🦋🦋🎂🥪🍰🍦☕️👑👑

[@peakyparttimers9362]

Been following your cancer journey. I'm just starting mine. You have given me so much reassurance with your video's. Thank-you 😊

[@unadventurousmandy]

Ah I’m so glad the videos have helped! I wish you all the very best with your treatment ❤️❤️

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Happy Birthday John 🎉x

[@LorettaKnelsen-go7mf]

Hi Mandy. Looking good Mandy. Happy belated Birthday John. 🎂❤️❤️😀👋🏻

[@rojharris]

Hi Mandy. Firstly, keep being strong! Secondly, I’ve had about 10 head MRI’s in the last 4 years (Brain tumour. .. all fixed now) but like you I hated the scanner until I discovered that you can ask for a mirror that they put over you face so you can look out towards your feet/the room. It makes a HUGE difference. No claustrophobia. Some scanners even have footage of fish tanks you can watch!! So if you have to have another then ask for the mirror. Happy birthday John too, from sunny Herne Bay. Take care xx

[@anthonyellis1409]

Be safe mandy, Happy birthday John. Be safe stay safe and safe journeys. Get well soon mandy

[@dorismosley2107]

I have the light off, music on an the mirror up so I can watch what’s going on outside to distract myself, there are things that can be done, they don’t aways offer but you can ask, I always do and much happier 😀Great so see you looking so happy and relaxed 🥰

[@gailwarnock2764]

So glad you are doing ok Mandy you go girl and Happy Birthday John you both warm my heart .love from New Zealand 🌸

[@vivienne3757]

[@anngreaves6994]

[@gwenwalker7592]

Mandy you look so well, good on you. I would never believe you were under so much medication (radiation etc). I don’t know what it is with being close to water it’s so relaxing. It looks lovely where you are. You are nearly at the end of the tunnel Mandy. I don’t know that I could have done that MRI scan being that close to my face, good on you. Take care sending big hugs to you and John, thinking of you loads xxx

[@ianbasson8367]

Such a positive and happy episode Mandy. The relentless hospital appointments must wear you down so the few days away have hopefully helped. Happy birthday John.

[@katcankan7129]

I didn't get notifications. You & John are looking fab. So pleased you are still in touch with Dave & Jo. Happy Birthday John. The end bit of the video😂. Still praying for you both 💜

[@AfterTheRains]

So happy you both had some time away at the seaside and you look a bit brighter Mandy. Long may that continue and get better by the hour. Belated happy birthday to John and it’s my birthday on 21st too. The longest day of the year and as my mother told me every year “it felt like it too”.

[@angdrumm]

Great to hear you cheery again, amazing what a trip to the seaside can do

[@sheiladrury3144]

I didn’t want to watch anything to do with cancer but after bravely watching everything you have gone through you have helped me to keep positive through out all my scans biopsy’s and everything else to do with procedures so thank you although I wasn’t as brave as you with my scans I did the same as you and opened my eyes at the wrong time and had a massive fit of the colliwobbles (Yorkshire for claustrophobia) but got through it in the end …. Just awaiting results hope I will be as strong as you ❤

[@unadventurousmandy]

Fingers crossed for only good news ❤️❤️❤️

[@cazicature]

Great video, sending you both lots of love 😊🥰

[@user-lr8gd5ml4b]

Hi Mandy, just to say thank you for taking us through the treatments with you and sharing so much. A friend of mine has breast cancer and I felt more confident in what to say to her and had a real awareness of the treatment she is facing from watching your vlogs. You are doing a great thing and spreading thoughtfulness to other cancer patients. We live in the East Riding so it was great to see you enjoying the Holderness coast at the weekend. Keep on keeping on. Xx

[@vivienchilvers1980]

Looking good Mandy bless you XX

[@geoffcampbell7846]

Its lovely to see you looking so well Mandy and enjoying life. You two make a great team, and the love is plain to see. Keep strong now, and fingers crossed the treatment has done the job and soon you will be able to take a longer break. See ya 👋🇬🇧🇺🇦🇪🇺

[@vivien408]

You aer looking good Mandy, Happy Birthday John 🎉

[@Gillby47]

Because of watching your very informative videos about your treatment and the explanations of your treatment,I have just signed up to a monthly donation to Cancer Research U.K.Just think if all of your follower made even a small monthly donation what a difference it could make to cancer research.x

I had to keep my eyes closed, the whole time, when I had an MRI scan, because I am clostaphobic, wasn't too bad, time went quickly. Happy Birthday John 🎁🎂🎉🎈 Love to you both. ❤❤❤ xx

[@MATS_MAKERSPACE]

[@sharoncrawford01]

I thought how well you are looking too Mandy, it seems like the weekend at the seaside did you the world of good. I am so pleased for you that you're coming to the end of the first stage of your treatment, though the next stage doesn't sound too pleasant. I hope that all goes well for you, and the MRI result is positive. Happy Birthday John, hope you had a lovely day.

Filey is where (years ago) I had to be airlifted down from a huge mountain, I found out I had started with vertigo and it was horrid. They had to bring me down because I couldn't stand up I couldn't even crawl. Hope you both enjoy yourselves xx

[@linz_in_NZ]

Oh, that's not on, we get a choice of radio stations or you can even take your own CD if you want to for a Head MRI and we also have a mirror on the head cage so you can see out too. It is rather a tight space in the MRI, even the newer bigger ones, I was glad I had an MRI on my foot before my first head one, as I was then prepared for all the noise and how cold it was in there. Happy Birthday John!

[@mindyedwards2699]

Glad you got to enjoy tge sea. Happy Birthday John 😊

Enjoy your day away, you both deserve it XX

[@mikemitchem4846]

Mandy you are enduring this well. My wife had a CT scan last Saturday and the original report had us ecstatic. They said the tumor was 100% gone! But after further review they decided it was 90% gone. Which is still great.. She got this week off for good behavior with chemo and they are stopping one of the 3 agents they have used. Step by step you and Glenda will get there!

[@unadventurousmandy]

Ah thats fantastic news!! Enjoy the week off and get ready to kick some butt after ❤️❤️

[@sewjojosewingandcrafts3679]

Fabulous video. Glad to see you smiling so much. Adam and I love being by the sea😅 too. Now you know what you're up against treatment wise, you can see how easy it is to just talk cancer like you're talking about McDonald's. It's still not a great situation to be in, but you play that cancer card as much as you can 😂😂 Funny, not funny. 😘😘

[@maurabradley6484]

So glad youre feeling better Mandy. You probably explained this before, why 2 vans & why seperate channels? Were you seperated for while? Sorry for being so nosey... Happy birthday John ❤

[@unadventurousmandy]

It might be worth having a look at the videos on the John and Mandy channel as they explain things a bit better ❤️

[@anns6393]

We went to Filey briefly last week - did you do the "fishy hopscotch" on the Promenade?😉
