She explained: "On Saturday, I was really back in the good books after (a) few weeks of the I don't like Mammy club which I chose to ignore (while wanting to disown her) as she's nearly 14 and as teenagers most of us have all been there, so it was nice to be surprised with a present of this little teddy bear (....) I'll take the win and the kindest gesture."
Since her cervical cancer diagnosis was delayed in 2017, Lynsey has been sharing her health experience with her followers online.
Earlier this year, she reflected on how she has come to accept the hysterectomy she underwent shortly after she was first diagnosed.
In a post on social media, Lynsey explained how the negative thoughts she had about the procedure are getting quieter as she gets older.
She explained that when self-doubt tries to tell her that she is a "failure", or "broken", she settles her mind by realising that, just like her cancer, not being able to have children "is one part" of who she is.
"It's not the only thing that makes me and even though it's hard to remember especially on extremely tough days I try to remember to live and smile and be grateful for the parts of me that still have a chance to be happy in life," she wrote.Explore more on these topics:
