-Meinir is a woman -who loves the outdoors...	0:00:32	0:00:35
-..mountain biking and clog dancing.	0:00:35	0:00:37
-She enjoys taking part in physical -challenges, no matter how dangerous.	0:00:38	0:00:43
-She's determined -to conquer everything.	0:00:43	0:00:46
-In May this year, -she had no idea she'd be facing...	0:00:48	0:00:52
-..the biggest challenge -of her life so far.	0:00:53	0:00:56
-Six months ago, -Meinir, who's a camerawoman...	0:01:39	0:01:42
-..decided to document her -experiences in order to help others.	0:01:42	0:01:47
-She knew -she'd need help from the outset...	0:01:47	0:01:50
-..so she asked me to get involved.	0:01:50	0:01:53
-That's Meinir for you, -eager to film everything.	0:01:54	0:01:58
-They told me I had breast cancer, -but unfortunately...	0:01:58	0:02:03
-..it wasn't -just localised in the breast...	0:02:04	0:02:07
-..it was in the lymph nodes, -in the lymph glands.	0:02:07	0:02:12
-Meinir is one of the 2,600...	0:02:12	0:02:15
-..diagnosed with breast cancer -each year in Wales.	0:02:15	0:02:19
-She's fighting for her life.	0:02:19	0:02:21
-She's come to a hospital -in Manchester with her partner...	0:02:21	0:02:25
-..to find out if she can conceive.	0:02:25	0:02:27
-They haven't seen a case like mine.	0:02:27	0:02:31
-Because I'm young, -what usually happens...	0:02:31	0:02:35
-..is that women have the treatment -first and then the chemo.	0:02:35	0:02:39
-While they're waiting for -the treatment and throughout it...	0:02:39	0:02:44
-..they can get on with -the process of freezing the eggs...	0:02:44	0:02:48
-..and raising oestrogen levels -and things like that...	0:02:48	0:02:52
-..but it's -the other way around with me...	0:02:52	0:02:55
-..in that I'm having chemo first.	0:02:56	0:02:58
-The Manchester doctors -are worried...	0:02:58	0:03:01
-..that the oestrogen level -will affect the tumour.	0:03:01	0:03:05
-The Bangor doctors -want me to start chemo right away.	0:03:05	0:03:10
-Everybody's telling me -it's my decision...	0:03:13	0:03:17
-..but it's difficult because...	0:03:18	0:03:21
-..I need to have the chemo -in order to get better...	0:03:23	0:03:28
-..and get rid of the cancer...	0:03:28	0:03:30
-..but the chances of me having -children are negligible afterwards.	0:03:30	0:03:36
-I know there are -plenty of women and men out there...	0:03:38	0:03:43
-..who can't have children...	0:03:43	0:03:46
-You try to deal with one thing -and something else comes along.	0:03:49	0:03:53
-It's just been -a lot to take in this week.	0:03:57	0:04:01
-Actually, I've got a problem too. -I've got piles.	0:04:05	0:04:08
-You can't say that.	0:04:09	0:04:10
-You can't say that. - -You've got cancer, I've got piles.	0:04:10	0:04:13
-This is Ems, a Betws-y-Coed lad.	0:04:14	0:04:16
-His humour will be essential.	0:04:17	0:04:19
-Meinir is my first love.	0:04:19	0:04:21
-Lots of people -have childhood sweethearts...	0:04:24	0:04:28
-..but you're my best friend -and my first love.	0:04:28	0:04:31
-It came as a hell of a shock.	0:04:32	0:04:36
-For the next few months, I'm -going to be the carer, I suppose.	0:04:36	0:04:42
-I'll look after you.	0:04:45	0:04:47
-I will. I know what I have to do.	0:04:48	0:04:52
-Ems competes -in world championships...	0:04:54	0:04:57
-..as well as international -and national competitions.	0:04:57	0:05:04
-He's at a higher level of biking.	0:05:04	0:05:07
-When we go -mountain biking together...	0:05:07	0:05:11
-..he always says to me, -"Go on, Meins, try this!"	0:05:11	0:05:15
-You got me into it.	0:05:15	0:05:17
-I liked mountain biking beforehand -but never downhill biking.	0:05:17	0:05:22
-The problem I've got...	0:05:26	0:05:28
-..is that Ems -makes it look so simple...	0:05:28	0:05:31
-..because he's good at it.	0:05:31	0:05:34
-I think, 'Gosh, I can do that!'	0:05:34	0:05:37
-For Meinir, looking ahead -to the future is important.	0:05:37	0:05:41
-Although they've told me -I have cancer...	0:05:46	0:05:49
-..I'm going to fight it...	0:05:49	0:05:51
-..and next year I'm competing...	0:05:51	0:05:53
-..in one of the most bonkers -downhill competitions...	0:05:54	0:05:57
-..called Megavalanche.	0:05:57	0:05:59
-Megavalanche -is held annually in the French Alps.	0:06:00	0:06:03
-It's both a physical -and mental challenge.	0:06:03	0:06:07
-It's a completely nuts marathon -involving hundreds of cyclists...	0:06:07	0:06:12
-..biking 26km downhill.	0:06:13	0:06:16
-But the following months -will be difficult.	0:06:20	0:06:23
-To be honest...	0:06:25	0:06:27
-..I'm very nervous.	0:06:28	0:06:30
-If feels as if -I'm about to sit an exam.	0:06:30	0:06:32
-An exam I haven't revised for...	0:06:33	0:06:36
-..and I've no idea what to expect.	0:06:36	0:06:39
-I feel a little aargh! -at the moment.	0:06:39	0:06:43
-Here we are for my first session -of chemotherapy.	0:06:46	0:06:49
-This is -the reception of Alaw Unit...	0:06:52	0:06:55
-..a ward for cancer patients -where chemotherapy is administered.	0:06:55	0:06:59
-The toxic chemicals...	0:07:00	0:07:02
-..will kill all cells, -including healthy ones.	0:07:02	0:07:06
-She will return -every three weeks for four months.	0:07:10	0:07:14
-Despite their anxiety, -their attitude hasn't changed.	0:07:14	0:07:18
-It feels really weird...	0:07:30	0:07:32
-..that I've reached this ward.	0:07:33	0:07:37
-I've rubbish veins too, by the way.	0:07:48	0:07:51
-It goes in your hand.	0:07:51	0:07:53
-It's a lot to take in, -especially since you're so young.	0:07:57	0:08:01
-Ems is just here -to get free biscuits.	0:08:08	0:08:11
-This is the first.	0:08:12	0:08:14
-This is the first. - -Oh, my God!	0:08:14	0:08:16
-It's cold and it feels like...	0:08:17	0:08:19
-It's cold and it feels like... - -You know there's something there.	0:08:19	0:08:21
-Yes, I can feel it a little. -It's weird.	0:08:21	0:08:24
-What I expected...	0:08:25	0:08:28
-..was to lie here -for hours on a drip....	0:08:28	0:08:32
-..and it just went in gradually.	0:08:33	0:08:35
-I didn't expect to see -a lovely nurse here...	0:08:36	0:08:40
-You charmer!	0:08:41	0:08:43
-..injecting it in.	0:08:43	0:08:45
-You don't know what to expect.	0:08:45	0:08:47
-That's the whole thing -when you first start.	0:08:48	0:08:51
-How do you feel, Meins?	0:08:59	0:09:01
-I feel -as if I've had a couple of pints.	0:09:04	0:09:07
-I'm a bit woozy.	0:09:07	0:09:09
-There are three weeks -between this session and the next.	0:09:12	0:09:17
-That's when it kills -all the cells in your body...	0:09:17	0:09:21
-..in order to kill the cancer.	0:09:21	0:09:25
-During that time, you're more likely -to pick up infections...	0:09:25	0:09:29
-..and all kinds of things.	0:09:30	0:09:35
-You lose your appetite.	0:09:35	0:09:37
-I know I'm going to lose my hair.	0:09:37	0:09:40
-I don't know how I'm going to be -over the next fortnight.	0:09:42	0:09:46
-This is the bit I'm dreading.	0:09:46	0:09:49
-I've got my party bag...	0:09:54	0:09:57
-..and a bucket for injections.	0:09:57	0:10:01
-We've been given loads of tablets.	0:10:01	0:10:04
-Thank you!	0:10:04	0:10:06
-I've basically finished -the first session of chemo.	0:10:08	0:10:11
-We're going home now.	0:10:16	0:10:19
-I'm just going to see how it goes -and how it takes effect.	0:10:19	0:10:24
-I just have to hope for the best.	0:10:24	0:10:26
-Two days later, Meinir -has returned to her mother's home.	0:10:27	0:10:32
-I feel OK at the moment.	0:10:34	0:10:36
-I feel sick in the morning -and a little at night too...	0:10:36	0:10:40
-..but I'm not too bad.	0:10:40	0:10:42
-I'm quite pleased about that.	0:10:43	0:10:46
-This is the party bag -I was given in hospital.	0:10:46	0:10:49
-I've already -taken those because I felt sick.	0:10:50	0:10:53
-I need to take these now.	0:10:53	0:10:55
-One of these...	0:10:55	0:10:57
-..four of those...	0:10:57	0:10:59
-..and the most important thing -I have to do...	0:11:00	0:11:03
-..is take my temperature every day.	0:11:05	0:11:08
-36.4	0:11:14	0:11:15
-That's good news.	0:11:17	0:11:18
-That's good news. - -You're healthy today.	0:11:18	0:11:21
-The hardest thing for me -is the sitting down.	0:11:21	0:11:26
-Well, not sitting down -but taking it easy.	0:11:26	0:11:29
-I can't do it.	0:11:29	0:11:32
-I'm always flat-out.	0:11:32	0:11:35
-I've come to a standstill now.	0:11:35	0:11:39
-They've given me these needles...	0:11:39	0:11:41
-..which I have to -stick in my stomach.	0:11:42	0:11:47
-They asked -if I wanted a district nurse...	0:11:47	0:11:50
-..and I said, "No, we'll manage."	0:11:50	0:11:52
-Here's the needle...	0:11:53	0:11:55
-..and what you need to do -is stick it into the stomach...	0:11:55	0:11:59
-..and then inject it...	0:11:59	0:12:02
-..and pull it back out, OK, Ems?	0:12:03	0:12:06
-Straight into there?	0:12:06	0:12:08
-Oh, God!	0:12:08	0:12:10
-I can't do it.	0:12:12	0:12:14
-Ooh! OK.	0:12:19	0:12:20
-Now?	0:12:21	0:12:22
-Now? - -Yes.	0:12:22	0:12:24
-That's it.	0:12:32	0:12:34
-That was fine. That's it.	0:12:37	0:12:39
-Hello, Meinir.	0:12:46	0:12:48
-Hello, Meinir. - -Hiya, are you OK?	0:12:48	0:12:50
-What are you doing?	0:12:50	0:12:52
-I'm just trying -to sort out all my debts.	0:12:52	0:12:58
-There's no money coming in -at the moment.	0:12:59	0:13:02
-I just have to find a way.	0:13:02	0:13:04
-Perhaps they can change things -around or that I can pay less.	0:13:04	0:13:08
-Everyone keeps putting you on hold.	0:13:09	0:13:11
-For 20 minutes at a time.	0:13:11	0:13:14
-I'm feeling weak at the moment. -I don't feel too special.	0:13:15	0:13:19
-I thought -I'd get through this easily.	0:13:20	0:13:24
-I thought, "I'm OK."	0:13:24	0:13:27
-But my legs are heavy -and I'm tired this afternoon.	0:13:27	0:13:33
-Oh, well. There are going to be -ups and downs, aren't there?	0:13:36	0:13:40

-Bets! Come on, girl!	0:13:56	0:13:58
-Do you want to go for a walk? -Come on then.	0:13:59	0:14:02
-Four days after her chemotherapy -session for breast cancer...	0:14:03	0:14:07
-..Meinir has another tough day.	0:14:07	0:14:11
-One, two, three, come on then!	0:14:11	0:14:13
-I'm not -looking forward to today at all.	0:14:14	0:14:17
-I was talking to one of my oldest -friends from primary school earlier.	0:14:18	0:14:23
-She said, -"You've never had short hair.	0:14:23	0:14:26
-I said, "No, I know."	0:14:26	0:14:28
-Losing hair is one of -the side effects of chemotherapy.	0:14:29	0:14:32
-One of her worst fears -is waking up one morning...	0:14:33	0:14:36
-..to find her long hair -has fallen out.	0:14:36	0:14:38
-I'm really nervous. -I don't know why.	0:14:39	0:14:41
-It might sink in after that.	0:14:42	0:14:44
-I'm expecting -big chunks of hair to fall out.	0:14:45	0:14:49
-Are you ready? Through my legs. -Can you go through my legs?	0:14:50	0:14:54
-Well done!	0:14:54	0:14:56
-At the moment, everybody I've -seen who's come to visit me...	0:14:59	0:15:03
-..has said, "You look well.	0:15:04	0:15:06
-"I was afraid to come and see you," -and things like that.	0:15:06	0:15:11
-If this goes, they'll be like...	0:15:11	0:15:14
-.."Oh. Oh, yes."	0:15:14	0:15:16
-If you see a bald woman -or someone with a scarf...	0:15:17	0:15:20
-..you know -they're going through chemotherapy.	0:15:20	0:15:24
-You tend to think, -"They're really, really ill."	0:15:24	0:15:28
-Eilsa, one of Meinir's -oldest friends...	0:15:32	0:15:35
-..has the honour -of cutting her hair.	0:15:36	0:15:38
-I haven't seen my hair yet.	0:15:52	0:15:54
-Are you ready?	0:15:54	0:15:56
-Are you ready? - -Yes.	0:15:56	0:15:57
-Oh, my God!	0:15:59	0:16:02
-It just doesn't look like me, -does it? Oh, wow!	0:16:05	0:16:09
-It's so different. I'm just -not used to having short hair.	0:16:09	0:16:13
-Mam keeps telling me -that I look nice...	0:16:24	0:16:28
-..but I hate it.	0:16:29	0:16:31
-Really I do. I don't like it at all.	0:16:32	0:16:35
-I'd rather have -a bald head instantly.	0:16:37	0:16:41
-I'll look like that.	0:16:41	0:16:44
-Meinir's back at Ysbyty Gwynedd...	0:16:51	0:16:53
-..but not for chemotherapy -this time.	0:16:54	0:16:56
-Within the past two days...	0:16:57	0:17:01
-..my hair -has really started to fall out.	0:17:01	0:17:04
-Is your head sore?	0:17:04	0:17:05
-Is your head sore? - -A bit, yeah. Look.	0:17:05	0:17:07
-Wigs!	0:17:08	0:17:09
-What's it like?	0:17:09	0:17:11
-I like the colour.	0:17:14	0:17:16
-What do you think? -Looks more like me.	0:17:16	0:17:19
-I like the ones with roots.	0:17:19	0:17:21
-That's cute.	0:17:24	0:17:26
-This is more like -my hair used to be.	0:17:26	0:17:32
-I could do a lot more with this.	0:17:32	0:17:34
-This already has a kink in it, -so I couldn't straighten it...	0:17:34	0:17:39
-..so it'd be...	0:17:40	0:17:42
-I don't know. It's nice.	0:17:42	0:17:44
-But I think this is the one.	0:17:45	0:17:47
-Good morning.	0:17:51	0:17:53
-I've just woken up.	0:17:53	0:17:54
-This is the morning after -the second chemo session.	0:17:55	0:17:59
-My hair -has really started to fall out now.	0:18:01	0:18:05
-This is how it looks.	0:18:05	0:18:08
-Oh, dear.	0:18:13	0:18:15
-Is it coming out?	0:18:22	0:18:24
-Oh, yeah.	0:18:24	0:18:26
-What do you think of my hair?	0:18:26	0:18:28
-She had short hair...	0:18:29	0:18:32
-..which made her look like a boy, -kind of thing.	0:18:32	0:18:35
-I didn't recognize her -when she walked in the room.	0:18:35	0:18:40
-It was really weird. It felt like -I was with a different person.	0:18:40	0:18:44
-I know it's tight -but that's how I felt sometimes.	0:18:45	0:18:48
-With her hair gone, only Meinir's -gorgeous face is left.	0:18:48	0:18:53
-I think -she'll be cuter with a bald head...	0:18:57	0:19:00
-..instead of silly little tufts.	0:19:00	0:19:03
-What are you doing?	0:19:03	0:19:05
-I'm preparing food -for Meinir Siencyn.	0:19:05	0:19:08
-This is her super healthy diet.	0:19:08	0:19:11
-I'm going to stew these apples -in boiling water.	0:19:12	0:19:18
-They're more nutritious that way.	0:19:18	0:19:20
-Because they're warm, your body -doesn't have to work so hard.	0:19:21	0:19:24
-Chemotherapy affects appetite...	0:19:25	0:19:27
-..but the body needs nutrients to -fight the cancer and the treatment.	0:19:27	0:19:32
-A healthy diet is important.	0:19:32	0:19:35
-Meinir also believes -that herbs keep her body strong.	0:19:35	0:19:39
-Bloody hell!	0:19:44	0:19:46
-He's obsessed with wearing my wigs!	0:19:47	0:19:50
-Before the third session -of chemotherapy...	0:20:04	0:20:07
-..Meinir visits the consultant to -check if the treatment is working.	0:20:07	0:20:12
-So I just carry on with the chemo?	0:20:12	0:20:13
-So I just carry on with the chemo? - -Yes. I'm happy that it's working.	0:20:13	0:20:16
-We carry on regardless. There's -no benefit of scanning earlier.	0:20:16	0:20:21
-The other doctor said to make sure.	0:20:21	0:20:24
-If we're not certain, then we would, -but I'm happy.	0:20:24	0:20:28
-Have you had a look? -Is it going down?	0:20:28	0:20:31
-It's going down. So far so good.	0:20:32	0:20:35
-Now for the third chemotherapy, and -Meinir contemplates the next step.	0:20:44	0:20:49
-I get a room to myself today!	0:20:50	0:20:53
-I'll have surgery -to remove the lymph gland...	0:20:53	0:20:57
-..and they'll also remove...	0:20:57	0:21:02
-..whatever's left.	0:21:02	0:21:05
-They told me...	0:21:06	0:21:08
-.."You will lose your nipple."	0:21:09	0:21:12
-I thought, 'Oh, great!'	0:21:12	0:21:14
-Mam's husband's mother -has also been through breast cancer.	0:21:14	0:21:19
-She had surgery...	0:21:20	0:21:23
-..and her nipple -was chopped off and stuff.	0:21:23	0:21:26
-She said -she was given fake nipples...	0:21:26	0:21:31
-..to stick on.	0:21:31	0:21:33
-Her husband said, "I keep finding -nipples everywhere on the floor."	0:21:33	0:21:38
-Apparently, -she'd gone shopping to Tesco...	0:21:38	0:21:42
-..and went in -with this fake nipple...	0:21:42	0:21:45
-..but when she came back, -she couldn't find the nipple.	0:21:45	0:21:49
-She thought it had fallen -into the tomatoes or something!	0:21:49	0:21:53
-So some old lady must've had -a fake nipple with her salad!	0:21:53	0:21:57
-Chemotherapy leaves its mark. -Meinir is feeling ill.	0:22:06	0:22:10

-I felt sick earlier...	0:22:13	0:22:17
-..and you told me to take -some tablets to make me feel better.	0:22:18	0:22:22
-I have to take tables -before going to bed too...	0:22:22	0:22:26
-..but I don't want to -take them too early...	0:22:26	0:22:29
-..otherwise -I'll feel sick during the night.	0:22:29	0:22:32

-..but due to girlfriend Meinir's -cancer treatment...	0:23:08	0:23:11
-..Ems hasn't had the opportunity -until now.	0:23:11	0:23:14
-I was racing today in Llangollen...	0:23:28	0:23:31
-..and I was doing really well -in practice.	0:23:31	0:23:34
-I was going along the track...	0:23:34	0:23:36
-..when this child pulled -his bike out to turn around...	0:23:36	0:23:40
-..and didn't see me coming.	0:23:40	0:23:42
-So my finger and handle bars -whacked straight into him.	0:23:43	0:23:46
-What's happening?	0:23:53	0:23:55
-I've broken my finger.	0:23:55	0:23:58
-I'm annoyed more than anything -because it wasn't my fault.	0:23:58	0:24:02
-Some kid didn't look...	0:24:02	0:24:05
-..whacked his bike out -and I went straight into him.	0:24:05	0:24:09

-Two days later, it's Meinir's turn -to return to hospital...	0:24:21	0:24:25

-Emyr Davies.	0:24:31	0:24:34
-He'll start pushing me -off the bed now. Seriously.	0:24:34	0:24:38
-That's what he's like. I'll be -on the floor and he'll be like that.	0:24:38	0:24:44
-When you immerse your hand -in hot water...	0:24:44	0:24:47
-..the veins rise to the surface, so -she'll be able to choose a good one.	0:24:47	0:24:52
-The drug I'm having this time -is different from the other three.	0:24:52	0:24:57
-If I get a reaction, -I have to say straightaway.	0:24:58	0:25:01
-Get me fruit pastilles -or something like that.	0:25:05	0:25:09
-Ems is chuffed -that he's going to buy some sweets.	0:25:12	0:25:16
-This chemotherapy is worse, -I suppose...	0:25:16	0:25:21
-..because her nails -are going to come off.	0:25:21	0:25:24
-That's going to be -another horrible experience.	0:25:24	0:25:28
-It makes you wonder -what it's doing to her insides.	0:25:28	0:25:31
-My chest is tight.	0:25:31	0:25:34
-Your chest is tightening?	0:25:34	0:25:35
-Your chest is tightening? - -Yes.	0:25:35	0:25:37

-It flicks through my mind.	0:25:46	0:25:50
-I try not to think about it...	0:25:50	0:25:52
-..but what if it comes back?	0:25:52	0:25:54
-I was somehow trying...	0:25:57	0:26:00
-..to prepare myself for the worst...	0:26:01	0:26:04
-..though it sounds horrible.	0:26:05	0:26:07
-In 2004, the worst happened -to Meinir's family...	0:26:08	0:26:11
-..when her father died six weeks -after he was diagnosed with cancer.	0:26:12	0:26:17
-It's my parents' anniversary -tomorrow.	0:26:17	0:26:21
-The day after that -was the day Dad was buried.	0:26:21	0:26:24
-It just brings it -all back up again for Mam.	0:26:24	0:26:28
-It's difficult for her.	0:26:28	0:26:30
-I'm really gutted -that Dad isn't here.	0:26:30	0:26:33
-He'd have been -the biggest worrier...	0:26:33	0:26:36
-..although he'd never show it.	0:26:36	0:26:38
-Most of my injuries when I was small -were my father's fault.	0:26:38	0:26:42
-I'd bang into lampposts on my bike -because Dad wanted a race.	0:26:43	0:26:47
-I broke a rib -while I was sledging...	0:26:47	0:26:51
-..because Dad had dared me...	0:26:51	0:26:54
-..to go down this slope with a drop.	0:26:54	0:26:57

-She's still the accompanist, though -it's my mother who runs the group.	0:27:17	0:27:22
-I'm just checking -you're in line with everyone.	0:27:22	0:27:25

-I've been invited -to help them with the dancing...	0:27:47	0:27:51
-..for the Eisteddfod.	0:27:52	0:27:54
-I'm only meant to be helping out...	0:27:55	0:27:58
-..but I'm there, in amongst them...	0:27:58	0:28:01
-..because I throw myself -into things.	0:28:01	0:28:04
-I'll get home and sit down and -it'll feel like I've run a marathon.	0:28:05	0:28:09
-"I can't move!" -It's awful, isn't it?	0:28:10	0:28:12
-Normal people would just relax.	0:28:12	0:28:15
-But not me.	0:28:15	0:28:18
-Come on, let's go! Oh, my God!	0:28:18	0:28:21
-With chemotherapy, you can -either do everything or nothing.	0:28:22	0:28:26

-I don't want to say anything. - -Say something.	0:28:27	0:28:29

-Are you OK, Meins?	0:28:31	0:28:34
-No.	0:28:34	0:28:35

-..for the past two days.	0:28:42	0:28:45

-I've been in bed for three days.	0:29:13	0:29:16
-I have a high temperature.	0:29:16	0:29:19
-I'm really worried about you.	0:29:24	0:29:27
-I don't know, I'm just...	0:29:31	0:29:33
-I think you're too tough, Meins.	0:29:34	0:29:37
-They've given me my own room...	0:29:37	0:29:41
-..instead of in the ward -behind the chemotherapy unit...	0:29:41	0:29:47
-..for naughty people.	0:29:51	0:29:53
-The nurse, no, doctor, sorry...	0:29:54	0:29:56
-..she said...	0:29:57	0:29:59
-..after looking in my mouth -that my entire body is like that.	0:29:59	0:30:03
-All my insides are like that.	0:30:04	0:30:06
-I've just vomited.	0:30:19	0:30:21
-Although Meinir's weak -and in a great deal of pain...	0:30:32	0:30:35
-..Ems tries to lift her spirits.	0:30:35	0:30:38
-I went for a date with a horse -the other night.	0:30:38	0:30:41
-Pfffffff!	0:30:41	0:30:43
-Ems is taking a shower.	0:30:59	0:31:02
-He's so funny.	0:31:05	0:31:07
-He makes me laugh -and he always cheers me up...	0:31:07	0:31:10
-..even when -I'm feeling really sick...	0:31:10	0:31:13
-..and can't answer him -because I'm so weak...	0:31:13	0:31:18
-..and concentrating on my breathing.	0:31:20	0:31:23
-He's still funny.	0:31:23	0:31:25
-A nurse asked me...	0:31:25	0:31:28
-..if we'd been together -a long time and stuff like that.	0:31:28	0:31:32
-But no, we haven't -been together that long.	0:31:34	0:31:37
-Then she said, -"Do you live together?"	0:31:39	0:31:43
-And I said...	0:31:43	0:31:45
-.."Well, he kind of moved in -without us ever discussing it"...	0:31:47	0:31:51
-..which is quite funny.	0:31:52	0:31:54
-My new hairdryer. What do you think?	0:31:59	0:32:01
-After a week -of being in a room by herself...	0:32:02	0:32:05
-..to avoid any infections, -a special friend pays her a visit.	0:32:06	0:32:10
-Have you come to see me?	0:32:13	0:32:16
-Thanks for bringing her.	0:32:16	0:32:18
-I saw the doctor this morning...	0:32:26	0:32:28
-..and she said...	0:32:29	0:32:31
-..that I can go home this afternoon.	0:32:32	0:32:34
-I'm just waiting for more drugs.	0:32:34	0:32:38
-I thought she was taking the piss -when she brought me...	0:32:38	0:32:42
-..this massive bag.	0:32:42	0:32:45
-Right, let's go home.	0:32:45	0:32:47
-I lost my balance then. -I still don't feel too well.	0:32:52	0:32:56
-At last Meinir is allowed home, -but she still feels unwell.	0:33:04	0:33:09
-Hello. This is -what's been happening today.	0:33:11	0:33:15

-It's some kind of clot or something.	0:33:27	0:33:31
-See? I'm fine now.	0:33:31	0:33:33
-My headache's gone.	0:33:33	0:33:35
-I don't know what that was.	0:33:36	0:33:38
-I'll phone the nurse to check.	0:33:38	0:33:40

-I'm going down in about 20 minutes.	0:35:59	0:36:01

-It feels like I'm in the gate...	0:36:07	0:36:10
-..ready for my first race.	0:36:10	0:36:12
-They're going to insert a needle...	0:36:16	0:36:19
-..to administer the anaesthetic...	0:36:20	0:36:23
-..before giving me -another anaesthetic.	0:36:23	0:36:26
-They're going to remove the lymph -and then the lump.	0:36:28	0:36:31

-..under my armpit.	0:37:57	0:38:02
-See, I can handle pain like this...	0:38:02	0:38:05
-..but chemo pain...	0:38:07	0:38:11
-..goes right into your bones.	0:38:11	0:38:15

-.."Did you insert an implant?"	0:39:12	0:39:14
-He was all embarrassed!	0:39:14	0:39:16
-It's the day after the operation.	0:39:18	0:39:23

-I've two bags.	0:39:34	0:39:36
-One comes out of the boob and -the other comes out of the armpit...	0:39:37	0:39:43
-..to drain all the fluids.	0:39:43	0:39:45
-They aren't happy -for you to leave...	0:39:46	0:39:48
-..until it's less than 30ml.	0:39:48	0:39:51
-I've been filling it -up to 100ml so far.	0:39:51	0:39:54

-Basically, it's taken a week to see -what effect it's had on the cancer.	0:40:14	0:40:20
-We'll find out if the tests -are negative or positive.	0:40:21	0:40:26
-I just want to try -and look a little more...	0:40:26	0:40:30
-..human.	0:40:30	0:40:32
-Oh, God, no, not like that.	0:40:32	0:40:34

-Do you want to know the result?	0:41:03	0:41:04
-Do you want to know the result? - -Yes, please.	0:41:04	0:41:06
-There is no result.	0:41:06	0:41:08
-They told me -the test results weren't ready.	0:41:10	0:41:14
-We have to go back next week.	0:41:15	0:41:17
-What can you do?	0:41:24	0:41:26
-The Ysbyty Gwynedd staff -were like...	0:41:26	0:41:29
-.. "We're really sorry, -they're not here.	0:41:29	0:41:32
-They'll be here next week, -definitely."	0:41:32	0:41:35
-There's nothing you can do.	0:41:35	0:41:37
-You can film this, if you like, -because I'm not bothered.	0:41:37	0:41:41
-I just put up with it.	0:41:42	0:41:44
-You see? Damn him!	0:41:44	0:41:47
-He's trying to hide -all the dirty dishes...	0:41:47	0:41:50
-..because I can't do anything -at the moment.	0:41:50	0:41:53
-I can't clean, -wash the dishes or lift anything.	0:41:54	0:41:59
-Look at this place. It's like a tip.	0:41:59	0:42:02
-Look at all those dishes. Damn him!	0:42:02	0:42:05
-A week has passed. Will she -have better luck the second time?	0:42:06	0:42:10
-We've been to the hospital.	0:42:26	0:42:28
-They still don't have my results.	0:42:34	0:42:37
-Seriously?	0:42:39	0:42:40
-Seriously? - -I'm not joking.	0:42:40	0:42:42
-They make me wait...	0:42:42	0:42:46
-..to find out -if I still have cancer or not...	0:42:46	0:42:50
-..not just one week...	0:42:50	0:42:54
-..but they make me go in again -and make me wait another week.	0:42:54	0:42:58
-I won't hear until next week. -It'll be almost a month.	0:42:59	0:43:02
-Something's wrong -in the management somewhere.	0:43:03	0:43:06
-The wait is excruciating.	0:43:13	0:43:15
-Meinir is suffering after-effects -from the surgery and chemo.	0:43:16	0:43:20
-I'm just fed up.	0:43:20	0:43:23
-It's just...	0:43:32	0:43:34
-The treatment is difficult.	0:43:36	0:43:38
-I've remained positive -about everything....	0:43:40	0:43:43
-..but this week has been -particularly difficult...	0:43:46	0:43:50
-..because I'm...	0:43:50	0:43:52
-..waiting for the results.	0:43:55	0:43:57
-Waiting a week for them was OK...	0:43:59	0:44:02
-..but I've been waiting...	0:44:02	0:44:04
-This is the third week.	0:44:06	0:44:10
-I don't want to go back in...	0:44:11	0:44:15
-..and have more surgery...	0:44:16	0:44:18
-..because I'm feeling unwell -after this one.	0:44:19	0:44:22
-I said it was nothing compared to -having my appendix out...	0:44:26	0:44:30
-..but it is.	0:44:31	0:44:33
-It just hadn't kicked in -at that point.	0:44:33	0:44:36
-I'm having a bad day, that's all.	0:44:40	0:44:43
-Five months have passed since Meinir -was diagnosed with breast cancer...	0:45:00	0:45:05
-..and three weeks since the test...	0:45:05	0:45:07
-..to determine -if the cancer has been removed.	0:45:08	0:45:10
-Well?	0:45:17	0:45:19
-We had the results this time.	0:45:19	0:45:21
-So, um...	0:45:22	0:45:23
-..they said...	0:45:24	0:45:26
-..that they'd taken -the entire sample...	0:45:26	0:45:31
-..and it's clear.	0:45:31	0:45:33
-Get in! Well done.	0:45:35	0:45:37
-Fantastic news.	0:45:38	0:45:40
-Meinir and Ems can look forward -to a happy Christmas and New Year.	0:45:40	0:45:44
-The past five months -have been a whirlwind.	0:46:34	0:46:37
-Even when I felt really ill, I was -determined to continue filming...	0:46:38	0:46:42
-..hoping it'd help someone -going through the same thing.	0:46:42	0:46:46
-It's strengthened our relationship.	0:46:46	0:46:49
-There's a strong bond between us.	0:46:49	0:46:53
-If we can get through something like -this, we can get through anything.	0:46:53	0:46:59
-When I've been really low...	0:46:59	0:47:01
-..if I'm honest, -I've been thinking...	0:47:02	0:47:06
-..that I don't want to be in bed -for months until I die.	0:47:06	0:47:10
-The next step -is to train for the Megavalanche.	0:47:13	0:47:17
-I can't believe I'm even -attempting it. The race is mental.	0:47:20	0:47:24
-It's completely nuts.	0:47:24	0:47:27
-I must be crazy -for thinking I can do it.	0:47:27	0:47:31
-But, tough, -if I can do this, I can do the Mega.	0:47:31	0:47:36
