    Bengu says that her first reaction to finding out that she had cancer was: “Am I going lose my hair?” It’s a question a lot of people ask – losing your hair is one of the most well-known side effects of cancer treatment . But how much and for how long varies from person...

    Well, it's been an interesting morning. Working in the art field and being an artist myself, I have many, many artist friends. They have been wonderful during my illness. If there is an upside to getting cancer, it's realizing how many incredible, caring people one has in one's life. They...

    - which is merely my way of saying that I got fed up of the stupid fluffy bits that were left on my scalp and I got Judy to razor them off, going for the full Magwitch.
