24.01.2022 I think bird parents are just the same

23.01.2022 Chemo is interesting in that while it's killing all the bad cells it's also killing all the good cells. Rest and trusting your body is key to the flow of moving day by day through this. Pressures by comment that are well intended are not ours to own, I'm glad your friend had chemo and she is ok, I'm still going through mine and it's sucks ok. Yes I'm tough, yes I'm resilient but I'm human too please let me take each moment as they come if that means crying because I'm tired of feeling sick or celebrating starting to feel a little more human today. When people say these so called well intended comments I feel like just screaming at them well let's swop places then if your so flippant about how I should or should not feel you take my cancer and keep positive thoughts!!!

22.01.2022 Well yesterday was a milestone for me I am officially half way through Chemo!!! On to the next round of a less invasive chemo weekly for twelve weeks. I am happy to say although it has been tough my tumour has shrunk to what would seem half it size. I have had to keep good thoughts as a mantra to remain positive and get through some of the painful side effects. Laughter is a great medicine for the soul, spirit and physical body. Instead of saying 'why me' say 'TRY ME'! Thank you for all the support and love that keeps me going as I grow from this experience and learn to appreciate and value life, family and true friends. #True Grit

22.01.2022 No more 'Red Devil' this is one of the chemo drugs I was on and it burns, going through after effects now for the last time before I start my next twelve rounds of new chemo drug. Cannot wait to get my taste back and energy back. Resting for now

21.01.2022 I choose to speak openly as I feel it takes back the power and I am in control of my life. I have found people react well and I think people respond and pick up our emotions and fears, therefore when they get I'm ok and have come to terms with it the comfort of that allows them to drop their guard and fears to respond well.

21.01.2022 Getting closer to kicking this alien in my body's butt! Port put on this morning at hospital to start chemo next week. Everyday is a step closer to removing this invader that is NOT welcome in my body.

20.01.2022 When Diane discovered she had HIV, her first thought was of her unborn child. Her diagnosis then set off a chain reaction in her family.

20.01.2022 Fabulous campaign U=U

20.01.2022 Time to start my next battle, if anyone knits some pink pussy beanies would be good as I loose my hair. I'm not sure why this war for my health is never ending but I'm pretty angry, tired and over it. Got to try to stay stress free, positive and ready to put myself first for some time.

16.01.2022 This has been a hard year with a lot of losses I want to remember all my sister warriors who passed this year as fierce leaders for women living with HIV. This virus is still taking many and breaks my heart to see these women to young leaving us may they RIP and we continue their work holding them in our hearts and memories...2016 RIP #F**kHIV!

12.01.2022 The world is 10% of what we make it and 90% how we take it. We cannot control things/situations, but we can choose how we can respond to things/situations. #True Grit

12.01.2022 At the moment I am learning new life lessons weekly. Cancer has been consuming my life, taking hold of my body as it thought it had ownership. When Biopsy's confirmed my diagnosis of stage 3b aggressive cancer I got angry, I told it it's not welcome and within a week was pumping two chemo drugs in my veins to send a clear message, LEAVE NOW! It's three months in and each treatment I watch my body change, get weaker as it struggles to allow chemo to destroy this tumour. ...Each treatment I burn, I blister, I loose my hair, face blood noses, and loose my ability to feel safe in public places as my immune system is broken down. I have even had a massive panic attack in a mall when bullied by enraged parking bullies. I have found both the worst in our human selfishness and at times that soft smile of knowing from older women who see my bald head, dark circles under my eyes and send comforting warm smiles of encouragement. I am looking at the world through new lenses and I see so much self consumed MEism! People so consumed with themselves they are blind to the beauty of life, being in the moment, sharing warm hello's through smiles and connecting. Making eye contact and connecting is a gift that can change a persons day, it can send them off to feel stronger, supported valued, a part of community and not alone. When we walk around are we consumed in ourselves or do we look around and say hello do we glance around and share a smile? Smiles are a gift that keep on giving infectious and spread like wildfire...share, greet and smile with others. See more

04.01.2022 I have been out of action fighting my latest battle Cancer 10 months of treatment three hospitalisation sand two surgeries and I’m fighting back to the old Dianne who cares about change for others, my voice was on hold to win this challenge and two more weeks of radiation and a plan to rock this new year out! Are you with me!!! Love you all xx

03.01.2022 Morning all, just letting you know all went well and the medications to assist with feeling sick are also good. They gave me the injection for protecting me from infection because I had AIDS before. I have to get a nurse administer that at five this afternoon. I broke down coming home due to flights being bumped/ storms in Melbourne and Sydney and it pushed me into a state of crying, very embarrassing but human. It was because I found out I had to do cardio angiogram before chemo and I became overwhelmed with all the poking and prodding the week before. You will be proud of me when I went in the nurses asked how I was feeling and I said let's get the show on the road, it's time to show this cancer who is BOSS!!! Thank you for your support and friendship. Dianne Nyoni
