I want to share my story. I want to journal my journey, to not only give me a place to document what is happening to me and it’s affects, but I want others, similar to me, to read this and know they’re not alone. Like you…
........Coming home to a gorgeous box of skin care, lotions and cleaners from my best Welsh friend. Lots and lots of messages of love fly at me once again through my phone. I'm humbled by the fact that so many people I care about and who care about me have taken a few...
Walking into the chemo unit was when it hit me first. I've actually got breast cancer and bugger me - that is why I am here. Breast Cancer. Me? WTAF? It's not that I ever forget I have - you've read that here. It's just, I have felt so OK - bouncing around the place,...
My husband has done Ironman a few times - yes I know - who would put themselves through 12 hours + of physical and mental torture and actually pay for the pleasure? The last picture on the right is the morning after the day before. We had only had Boo a week and he...

Cancer started the row. My husband finished it. Now, please bear in mind, this photo was taken after being in lock-down for over three months, That means no hairdresser visits and no attempt at home colouring myself. I had also lost about a third of my hair naturally....
I wake with a start and check the pillow straight away. No hair there. I've still got my to do list 'to do' before my second cycle. So I get up and mark four assignments before breakfast. I love getting my tasks done and ticking them off the list. (Control freak?!) It...
