  • Falling Apart? Or re build brick by brick (4/10/18)

    The last two months have been so chaotic that I have had to remind myself that the reason for all this mess in my life is because I’m fighting for my life. This isn’t just a quick stop in hospital and it will all go away illness... if only!!

    Getting to the point of being able to have my SCT in October was a challenge I quite happily took on and when I finally heard the words were going ahead with it, I felt…

  • What Am I Fighting For?

    I really don’t know why I’m putting myself through all this crap.

  • Getting Thru The BAD DAYS (2/7/18)

    At first the bad days were easy to handle.. I could talk my brain into believing that everything was going to be ok.. that there was life after cancer. I honestly, maybe stupidly thought I would get through this and go back to my old life .. my job…
