Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 3 weeks ago I underwent some pretty brutal surgery, surgery that I knew was risky but had to be done. I went to sleep after being told they would have to remove my left kidney, spleen, left ovary, part of my bowel, the 1kg liposarcoma and I'd have a "chemo washout" . I was so scared. It is so daunting being on your own and being faced with this. I also had an epidural prior to being sedated which brought back horrible memories of my birth but the team made me as comfortable as possible and gave me alot of reassurance which helped me in so many ways. . . I was extubated early as the surgery went well and I'm "fit and healthy" , the tumor was removed much easier than anticipated and they managed to keep the majority of my organs. I woke up with drips and drains coming out of everywhere - Arterial lines, central line, indwelling catheter, 2 abdominal drains, nasogastric tube, 3 intravenous cannulas, TPN, epidural infusion, and an oxycodone PCA. . . The next day, I had a cardiac arrest requiring CPR - I came round to a busy room full of medical staff racing around, working hard. I was told I would need a temporary pacing wire and the possibility of a pacemaker being inserted. After discussions with the cardiologist- they wanted to monitor me but attached to the defibrillator, an echocardiogram showed I have a bicuspid aortic valve with regurgitation (something I wasn't aware of). . . After 5 or 6 days in ICU I was finally moved to the ward - a few days in I developed an acute onset of new pain - I'd rather have back to back births than this pain again - I had an urgent CT at midnight to show I had pancreatitis. I was started on a continuous ketamine infusion which unfortunately made me hallucinate and I became agitated - that was stopped within 24hrs. After a couple of days things started to settle. Day by day, more drips and drains were being removed. I was in bed for 12 days so mobilising feels very weird and wobbly. . . This has certainly changed me - physically and mentally. I'll grow from this, I know it - but first I need to focus on getting my independence back and allowing myself to heal.

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Life... what a crazy thing huh?! . . 4 years ago, I was the first woman to be awarded a full lift of the famous dinnie stones - making history, an amazing day filled with the best emotions. . . Since then - it's been a battle - pregnancy, marriage breakdown, single motherhood, unemployment, death of my mum, family dramas, legal dramas, financial dramas. It's been a tough slog at times but I've managed to grind through the rough parts and make a stable life for Mackenzie and I. . . But, my biggest battle is right now, I almost lost my life last week after my heart stopped. I'm currently fighting Sarcoma and have had a 1kg cancerous mass removed aswell as part of my bowel with a few complications along the way.THIS has been a major challenge for me because my life is in other people's hands, I struggle not being independent, I struggle ALOT. . . I've had a couple of really tough days in hospital and today is one of them - I'm in a shit tonne of pain and I got to see my wound for the first time - as superficial as it sounds - it's decreased my self esteem big time - it's massive and ugly looking. I know with time it will settle and I should "feel lucky" that we caught this in time and I still have my life but it doesn't take away the emotions that I feel today. . . I'm glad I've developed resilience over the years of hardship, I feel its helping me get through this right now. I miss my daughter beyond words but each day that goes by is another day closer to being back home with her. I could write some bullshit about only looking at the positives 100% of the time and being mentally rocksolid but that would be a lie - to me showing strength is showing EVERYTHING, showing the ability to feel all emotions and admitting that sometimes things are just a big giant bag of dicks. . . I'm here, I'm fighting and I'm just having a shit day, which is ok. #fuckcancer #igotthis #keepfightingthegoodfight
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 10 weeks post surgery. Getting to know my new body image has been one of the hardest pills to swallow. In most of my training videos I wear a sports bra - this is part of scar exposure therapy. I've been so incredibly self conscious about it and at times felt really down BUT I'm getting there... slowly. This wasn't by my own doing, I can't change it but I can move forward and hopefully get to a point where I feel proud that I survived all I have. I'll keep putting in the hard yards and whatever the future holds, I'll just keep fighting !
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - ⚠️SENSITIVE CONTENT WARNING - PLEASE DO NOT SWIPE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE SURGERY PICTURES DURING OPERATION ⚠️ The peritonectomy team at St George Hospital did an amazing job of removing this mass, it was entwined with my bowel and attached to my kidney and abdominal wall. So thankful for Professor Morris and all his hard working team ❤️. It's amazing what medical professionals can do and it's amazing what the human body can endure. EDIT ⚠️ - Slide 1 & 2 show the tissue wrapping around the bowel and kidney. The last slide shows the mass on the right side - that big 1kg of cancer is NOT supposed to be there. #surgery #bowelresection #postoprecovery #peritonectomy #feelinggrateful #strongwoman #humanbody #medical #sensitivecontent  #rebuildbyleigh #resilience

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - A gentle reminder to never judge a book by it's cover You could look at this photo and think wow she's doing really well, out walking, back doing rehab/exercise. I've had alot of messages from people saying - "you're strong this will be easy" . "Look what you've done in life this is nothing " I can tell you right now.. THIS IS NOT EASY The past week I've struggled. I've had an internal battle to get out of bed, to shower, to get changed, to think "positive" For someone that is so active and lives a rather chaotic lifestyle, having everything stripped away and being in a small apartment totally alone... is tough. I'm normally a busy single mum, juggling all sorts. I've normally always got a list of stuff that needs to be done, washing, housework, cooking, training.. but now I have nothing. While most parents would be like "praise the lorddddd, I get a break" , I've not felt that way, I enjoy being productive, I enjoy being active, I honestly love being a mum. I don't enjoy sitting around watching t.v, I don't like being stationary. So what's changed over the past 2 days ? I woke up and said to myself, no one is going to change this for me, no one is going to come save me and encourage me to get out of bed, to shower me, to dress me. I had two options, I ignore my insight to see my mental health is declining and end up in a really bad place OR I get up, I create a routine, I  tell myself " It is hard RIGHT NOW but it's not always going to be this way" . I am no pushover and that's came from overcoming constant challenges, I have firm boundaries and that's came from constant heartbreak. I have been through way to much in life to allow this to bring me down. This Wednesday I find out if I need chemotherapy, and whatever the outcome, I will keep fighting. Why have I posted this ? Because I want to be real, I want people to see that everyone struggles at times and it doesn't mean we are weak, in fact - and I say this all the time now  - true strength is being real and showing your highest highs but also your lowest lows. I won't be another "highlight reel" instagram account. Cont. Below

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - It was an an emotional weekend down in Sydney… Being a carer for my mum who’s terminally ill with cancer was exhausting, but I’ve never forgotten about my dear friend @leigh.hollandkeen who lost hers 🥹💔🕊️ Susan Holland-Keen was one of the OG strongwomen in Australia.

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 1 year post the most intense time of my life. What a journey! So grateful to be here and to be living life ✌️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - I still find it a little frustrating that I've had to start all over again. It's been brick by boring brick for a while now, but today I reflected on how far I've truly come. 5 months ago, I couldn't stand up straight, still struggled to shower myself and getting out of bed was such a challenge - both physically and mentally.  Sometimes you just need to stop and appreciate the journey you're on and be proud of what you've achieved so far . #instagram #rebuild #fitness #strongwoman #recovery #mindset
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - The famous Dinnie Stones ❤️ . It felt special to go back just before my surgery and revisit the place where history was made - I truly feel like it gave me strength. My connection to my homeland will forever be strong 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Mark my words - one day I'll be back to lift them again. #dinniestones #Scotland #potarch #donalddinnie #strength #connection #culture #wheremyheartbelongs
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - . . I've been through some pretty wild stuff lately, a whole range of emotions from "come on, just give me a friggin break" to my final conclusion of "It is what it is" . . . Things are going to happen in life that are out of your control - it's shit, but that's life. Time is still going to tick by, the sun is still going to continue to rise. My life isn't bad, YES, bad things have happened but that's not my whole life. I have ALOT to be grateful for and I will continue to keep moving forward, I am still so determined to reach my goals and I 100% will. I will continue to grow through what I go through🌻

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Last day of being 34. It's been another interesting year. It's been a year of physical recovery and adjusting to all the major things that's happened over the past 2 years. I've laughed, I've cried, I've felt loved and I've felt lonely. Life is one crazy journey and I'm incredibly grateful to have made it through some seriously tough times. Who knows what's in store for the next year but whatever it is ... I'm here for it !
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Woo hoo qualified for NSW states. I had a plan and with my coach @scotty_bossman we executed it well. I was so happy to do what I needed to do but I was more happy to be welcomed back to my sport with open arms. I felt the love and it's made me feel soooo good !! Thank you to EVERYONE who came to support me. I appreciate you all so much ❤️. @teampowerelite @citystrength @ptcmacarthur @sbdapparel @iamherculeswoman #strongwoman #teampowerelite #ptcmacarthur #imbackbaby #postsurgery #strength #instagram #strongmannsw
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 🌻 THIRTY FOUR 🌻 When did time speed up?! 😅 Another year down, and PLENTY of "experiences" in the past 365 days. Each year that I grow older, I appreciate life more, I appreciate the people in my life more and I find myself more. I'm all about growing, the past 3 years have been fairly dog shit for me, I've definitely had more challenges than good times but I'm actually proud of myself for surviving this shitstorm both mentally and physically. Thanks to everyone that's been on this journey with me and provided support ❤️ Here's to good times and happiness ahead ! P.s Is it acceptable to become a cougar now ? 😂😂
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Entering Week 3 of being back at @teampowerelite . Weights are slowly increasing, ROM is getting a smidge better. Baby steps but steps in the right direction.

Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - 🎄 Merry Christmas to you all 🎄 - lots of love from Leigh & Macca ❤️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - Full transparency about this one. This has by far been my hardest "festive session" ever. Co parenting has been hard. The overwhelming grief for my mum has been hard . Not having family around has been hard. Christmas has always been a huge tradition within my family, the laughs, the food, the memories made . Having all that stripped away has been the toughest thing to overcome. I've felt the lowest I've probably ever felt over the past month, it's been absolute dogshit . I've been waiting for my "get up and go" to kick in but it took way longer than I expected, then I realised - I need to sit with these emotions, I need to feel them and I need to work out what to do with them. Life has really changed for me and it's OK to feel sad about it . I had a random chat with a guy who was all dishevelled drinking VB at 10am - I started up a conversation with him and he told me how Christmas is really hard for him as he lost his dad the year before and he never got to meet his first born son - it made me realise that Christmas is actually really difficult for alot of people, society puts all this pressure to be merry and bright but for some that's not possible. It made me realise just how important it is to be non judgemental, to not assume, and to be kind to others as you just never know what someone is going through. I've developed so much more empathy and understanding for people by going through my own hardships. Life can be tough sometimes but the beauty of it is - we can grow from it and that's exactly what I'm doing ❤️
Leigh Holland-Keen Instagram - I'm gonna remain grateful till my last day. It's so easy to get caught up in the "bad" in life. I'm still here, still breathing and wake up each morning with the ability to make changes in my life, that's something worth celebrating ❤️

Leigh Holland-Keen - 3.2K Likes - 3 weeks ago I underwent some pretty brutal surgery, surgery that I knew was risky but had to be done. I went to sleep after being told they would have to remove my left kidney, spleen, left ovary, part of my bowel, the 1kg liposarcoma and I'd have a "chemo washout" . I was so scared. It is so daunting being on your own and being faced with this. I also had an epidural prior to being sedated which brought back horrible memories of my birth but the team made me as comfortable as possible and gave me alot of reassurance which helped me in so many ways. . . I was extubated early as the surgery went well and I'm "fit and healthy" , the tumor was removed much easier than anticipated and they managed to keep the majority of my organs. I woke up with drips and drains coming out of everywhere - Arterial lines, central line, indwelling catheter, 2 abdominal drains, nasogastric tube, 3 intravenous cannulas, TPN, epidural infusion, and an oxycodone PCA. . . The next day, I had a cardiac arrest requiring CPR - I came round to a busy room full of medical staff racing around, working hard. I was told I would need a temporary pacing wire and the possibility of a pacemaker being inserted. After discussions with the cardiologist- they wanted to monitor me but attached to the defibrillator, an echocardiogram showed I have a bicuspid aortic valve with regurgitation (something I wasn't aware of). . . After 5 or 6 days in ICU I was finally moved to the ward - a few days in I developed an acute onset of new pain - I'd rather have back to back births than this pain again - I had an urgent CT at midnight to show I had pancreatitis. I was started on a continuous ketamine infusion which unfortunately made me hallucinate and I became agitated - that was stopped within 24hrs. After a couple of days things started to settle. Day by day, more drips and drains were being removed. I was in bed for 12 days so mobilising feels very weird and wobbly. . . This has certainly changed me - physically and mentally. I'll grow from this, I know it - but first I need to focus on getting my independence back and allowing myself to heal.

I've had a couple of really tough days in hospital and today is one of them - I'm in a shit tonne of pain and I got to see my wound for the first time - as superficial as it sounds - it's decreased my self esteem big time - it's massive and ugly looking.

In most of my training videos I wear a sports bra - this is part of scar exposure therapy. I've been so incredibly self conscious about it and at times felt really down BUT I'm getting there... slowly. This wasn't by my own doing, I can't change it but I can move forward and hopefully get to a point where I feel proud that I survived all I have.

Likes : 1273Leigh Holland-Keen - 1K Likes - A gentle reminder to never judge a book by it's cover You could look at this photo and think wow she's doing really well, out walking, back doing rehab/exercise. I've had alot of messages from people saying - "you're strong this will be easy" . "Look what you've done in life this is nothing " I can tell you right now.. THIS IS NOT EASY The past week I've struggled. I've had an internal battle to get out of bed, to shower, to get changed, to think "positive" For someone that is so active and lives a rather chaotic lifestyle, having everything stripped away and being in a small apartment totally alone... is tough. I'm normally a busy single mum, juggling all sorts. I've normally always got a list of stuff that needs to be done, washing, housework, cooking, training.. but now I have nothing. While most parents would be like "praise the lorddddd, I get a break" , I've not felt that way, I enjoy being productive, I enjoy being active, I honestly love being a mum. I don't enjoy sitting around watching t.v, I don't like being stationary. So what's changed over the past 2 days ? I woke up and said to myself, no one is going to change this for me, no one is going to come save me and encourage me to get out of bed, to shower me, to dress me. I had two options, I ignore my insight to see my mental health is declining and end up in a really bad place OR I get up, I create a routine, I  tell myself " It is hard RIGHT NOW but it's not always going to be this way" . I am no pushover and that's came from overcoming constant challenges, I have firm boundaries and that's came from constant heartbreak. I have been through way to much in life to allow this to bring me down. This Wednesday I find out if I need chemotherapy, and whatever the outcome, I will keep fighting. Why have I posted this ? Because I want to be real, I want people to see that everyone struggles at times and it doesn't mean we are weak, in fact - and I say this all the time now  - true strength is being real and showing your highest highs but also your lowest lows. I won't be another "highlight reel" instagram account. Cont. Below

It's been a year of physical recovery and adjusting to all the major things that's happened over the past 2 years. I've laughed, I've cried, I've felt loved and I've felt lonely. Life is one crazy journey and I'm incredibly grateful to have made it through some seriously tough times. Who knows what's in store for the next year but whatever it is ... I'm here for it !

Each year that I grow older, I appreciate life more, I appreciate the people in my life more and I find myself more. I'm all about growing, the past 3 years have been fairly dog shit for me, I've definitely had more challenges than good times but I'm actually proud of myself for surviving this shitstorm both mentally and physically. Thanks to everyone that's been on this journey with me and provided support ❤️ Here's to good times and happiness ahead ! P.s Is it acceptable to become a cougar now ? 😂😂

Caption : 🌻 THIRTY FOUR 🌻 When did time speed up?! 😅 Another year down, and PLENTY of “experiences” in the past 365 days. Each year that I grow older, I appreciate life more, I appreciate the people in my life more and I find myself more. I’m all about growing, the past 3 years have been fairly dog shit for me, I’ve definitely had more challenges than good times but I’m actually proud of myself for surviving this shitstorm both mentally and physically. Thanks to everyone that’s been on this journey with me and provided support ❤️ Here’s to good times and happiness ahead ! P.s Is it acceptable to become a cougar now ? 😂😂

The overwhelming grief for my mum has been hard . Not having family around has been hard. Christmas has always been a huge tradition within my family, the laughs, the food, the memories made . Having all that stripped away has been the toughest thing to overcome. I've felt the lowest I've probably ever felt over the past month, it's been absolute dogshit . I've been waiting for my "get up and go" to kick in but it took way longer than I expected, then I realised - I need to sit with these emotions, I need to feel them and I need to work out what to do with them. Life has really changed for me and it's OK to feel sad about it . I had a random chat with a guy who was all dishevelled drinking VB at 10am - I started up a conversation with him and he told me how Christmas is really hard for him as he lost his dad the year before and he never got to meet his first born son - it made me realise that Christmas is actually really difficult for alot of people, society puts all this pressure to be merry and bright but for some that's not possible. It made me realise just how important it is to be non judgemental, to not assume, and to be kind to others as you just never know what someone is going through. I've developed so much more empathy and understanding for people by going through my own hardships. Life can be tough sometimes but the beauty of it is - we can grow from it and that's exactly what I'm doing ❤️
