“It’s my mum and dad and friends that are here supporting me through this.
“I wish I could live again so I could stop worrying about the little things and enjoy myself.
“I would spend more time with the people who actually mattered, make more of an effort to meet someone and have kids, to travel.
“If I had my time again I would do everything different.”
Although Amanda can’t go back and change the past, she has opened up about what she hopes to do with the time she has left.
She went on to say: “I really want to stay at a hotel on the beach and just listen to the waves and forget that I am dying. Forget that I am me. Be someone else for a few days and just relax and have fun.
“I have also always wanted to head back to Australia Zoo and see Robert Irwin do a show. I saw his dad do one when I was a kid but I have always just put off going.
“And I really want to go to an all-you-can-eat buffet. I guess hotels would have that covered.”
In addition to these dreams, she has started a GoFundMe to help raise the money she needs to truly live life to the fullest.
