"Reason I'm not... like a lot of friends and family are asking why I'm not just going in and having anything (like surgery) done yet, because there's so many tests that need to be done before we do anything.
"So I just need to get through till, I guess, next week. Get all the tests done, and then they'll know exactly what to do, because otherwise, obviously, they'll be able to do something, but it'll be better doing it with all the information that they need.
"But, yeah, it's s**t, but still here and staying positive.
"And thanks everyone as well for all the lovely messages and any friends and family and that that have messaged that I haven't got back to.
"I see you all and yeah, means a lot. Much love and have a nice Friday night."
