A PWLLHELI teenager who set up a blog to share her emotional story of being diagnosed with cancer at just 18 years old is celebrating being given the all-clear.

Megan Davies, now 19, was just a normal teenager, with dreams of becoming a nurse, when she was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphona, type 3B cancer on 29 June 2015 and her whole world was turned upside down.

The former Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor Pwllheli student had just completed her A-levels and was looking forward to a holiday abroad with her friends when she was handed the devastating news.

In December, the Cambrian News published the brave teenager’s story where she described how she wanted to reach out to others who were going through the same struggles as she was.

Megan described how she was on her 10th round of chemotherapy, but still had another two rounds to complete, but bravely embraced the side effect of hair loss which comes with the treatment.

She said: “I knew from the beginning that I wanted a wig, despite advice from past-cancer patients that it was too itchy, or too hot.

“I wanted a wig that looked like my hair and I was referred to The Little Princess Trust, which is a charity that makes wigs for children and young people who lose their hair going through chemotherapy.

“The charity has made the whole process of losing my hair less stressful and less scary.

“The wigs are truly amazing quality, and you can’t really tell that it’s a wig.

“They are a truly amazing charity and I am in the process of collecting money and raising awareness for the charity as a thank you for their amazing work.”

Throughout her treatment the brave teenager also shared her experience through her own blog, which has over 73,000 hits.

She said: “Through writing down my thoughts and feelings in my blog I hope to reach out to someone who’s going through the same as I am because I know that I am certainly not alone.”

Megan received the all-clear towards the end of February and is now looking forward to travelling to Thailand in the summer and starting at university in Cardiff in September.
