I finished in around April and it is now published and on Amazon. I charted all my athletics and how I had done in that and put it in book form. I had most of the material already there but then had to remember childhood times which was quite hard. “Just after Christmas we were reading through it and Tim said it would make a good book. She said: “Tim said I should keep a daily journal so that’s what I did and I charted absolutely everything in it. The book was created from a journal Lyn has been keeping. It is ongoing, it is never going to go away and there is still a whole journey ahead but we will embrace that and go on that journey together.” She said: “When I got the diagnosis we (Lyn and Tim) sat down and talked, we are very open and honest about everything. Lyn is responding well and now receives the immunotherapy regularly. Treatment involved chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy – an infusion of a group of medicines that stimulate the immune system to target and kill cancer cells.Īlthough there is no cure the cancer can be controlled with treatment. “We then felt ‘let’s just get going, get treatment started.’ I’ve always had a very positive outlook on things. “To start with it left us pretty numb but then we started on this whole journey, there were more tests and we hoped they were wrong, then there were CT and Pet scans, biopsy, plans for treatment – and then it became real. Me and my partner Tim thought it was something to do with my breathing, that maybe I had been doing too much, and all of a sudden we find there is a tumour on my lung. The doctor thought maybe a heart condition but because it was getting worse I was sent to hospitalĪnd that’s when the scan picked up the tumour on her lung which was blocking a main artery. I noticed breathing problems when training. The veterinary practice receptionist said: “All of a sudden my face started swelling and my breathing wasn’t right. Lyn has become an integral member of the club, winning a clutch of medals and taking the title of Kent master’s long jump champion in 2018 when she scooped gold during the competition hosted at Medway Park.īut last year Lyn noticed breathing problems during training and then suffered swelling to her face. Lyn, now 60, said: “I was quite good at it at school and thought I’d just do the long jump but they wouldn’t let me unless I trained with them!” Lyn Sole, from Margate, was 57 when she joined Thanet Athletics Club in 2016 because she wanted test her skill at the long jump.
