  Day 6

  Definitely a blue day, the worst bit is my mouth it tastes of death, I usually love my food and cannot find anything I fancy:( Had acid reflux too and took two gaviscone ( not sure I was allowed too…!) but helped. In the end couldn’t dec...

  Happy NEW New Year's Eve

  Somehow I missed the moment with the New Year, when it came to starting my resolutions, on Saturday 1st January. Then I completely missed the Russian New Year on Friday 14th January. But there is a third chance, the Chinese New Year on Tue...

  A modicum of privacy, please?!

  I love my husband of 20 years so dearly, but he is very loose lipped about my (MY!) health struggles. I am a fiercely private person. He, on the other hand, feels the need to tell EVERYONE. Every detail. Every everything. He actually gets angry ...

  About last week

  I’m now one week post first chemo (that’s a mouthful!) and feeling ok.  I’ve been tired like never before.  I honestly didn’t think it was possible to feel exhausted after walking to the kettle and back…but it...

  One Life Live It

  The days are getting longer, summer's coming

  It's a strange thing, living with cancer. On one hand, I feel like life is normal (well, apart from the dodgy hair regrowth, but that's another story) yet on the other hand, the treatment never stops. I feel fully fit, back at work with a vengeance a...
