"I’m home and feeling less anxious. I know we will get to the root of it, which is really good," she said.
"I've made my sandwich, I’ve lit the fire, I can see my roses and my birds and my tree and this is me.
"I’m now going to settle and I hope for all of you that need to be heard that you get heard, that would be my hope for us all – that our voices are heard and if your voice can’t be heard that there is somebody advocating for you to be heard."
"I think that is really important," she added.
Multiple myeloma, also known as myeloma, is a type of bone marrow cancer according to the NHS. Bone marrow is the spongy tissue at the centre of some bones that produces the body's blood cells.

The Irish star received the Best Actor prize for his powerful performance as Stanley Kowalski in the West End revival of A Streetcar Named Desire.
On the night he told reporters: “My mum and dad are at home. My mum’s unwell at the moment, so hopefully it’ll give her a little bit of a lift and dad as well who is looking after.
“It kind of feels maybe narcissistic or egotistical to assume that that will help anything, but I hope that it does."
He went on to explain that he is struggling to accept that he has his hands on an Oliver Award.
Paul said: “I feel like I hear people say it all the time, but it doesn’t feel real!"
The actor found fame in the television adaptation of Sally Rooney's hit book, Normal People, opposite Daisy Edgar-Jones.
He won huge critical acclaim and a BAFTA award for his role as Connell.
