    Christmas went as quickly as it arrived, but may have left some of us with annoying extra pounds (stares at stomach in shame). We all know that any kind of physical activity goes a long way to making a positive change to our lives, but did you know that exercising during and after cancer treatments...

    Well today is my last day of being signed off work following the surgery. I can't quite decide how I feel about that, in some ways I really want to get back to work but in others it's sort of scary and I'm not sure how I am going to cope. I don't suppose it matters too much. I'll...

    Just realised I have not blogged since I started my treatment for head and neck cancer, back in June. Never would have thought the time would pass so quickly; and although there were many times I struggled, I really feel that I have turned a corner and I am getting my life back. Within the last...

    Like all daughters ( or most!!) my Dad is my superhero so needless to say this came as a total shock to us. There are no words to convey just how awful it feels . I have some blog entries I made on another site that I will copy and paste here , I suppose to show the harsh effect its had so far...

    This weekend our next door neighbour's daughter was savagely murdered as she walked her dog through a local park in broad daylight. Her attacker did not know her, nor is there any motive for his attack. I have been thinking about this for the last few days. Although the diagnosis of A's cancer...
