    Post 342: Homeward bound. Getting up is always a mixed experience on the last day of any holiday, but leaving this comfy profiling bed would be interesting. The car was packed and the cottage swept clear of our belongings, which up until late last ...

    Cancer treatment - Living with a PICC line

    Do you have questions about living with a PICC line? The Online Community is a great place to hear from others about their experiences. You can also ask clinical questions to our Cancer Information Nurse Specialists.

    In this blog, we’re highlighting conversations from the Online Community about PICC lines, and how you can take part.

    Getting a PICC line fitted

    For many members, the idea of having a PICC line fitted can feel worrying at first. In the Breast cancer forum, some members shared that...

    Post 341: Another restful day in a great bed. Tomorrow we leave here with mixed feelings, but better knowledge about the profiling bed and what it can do for me. Another bright morning, but I’m not going to venture out. The lanes are scary, a...

    Post 340: Four seasons in a day at the Forum. I could have cried as I walked around the car after getting back from Blandford Forum today. Scratches all the way across the car doors on the near side from another few close calls with Dorset hedgerows...

  • A trip with triple negative breast cancer
    Long tail survival
    It’s been a while since I have updated my blog, largely because I have been stable so have not had any developments to add. But I am conscious I engage on the forum with people new to metastatic TNBC, or new to TNBC, and often point them toward...

    March’s wellbeing Wednesday- Mindfulness, Music and Meditation

    Waiting for test results and having treatment can cause issues with managing emotions and struggling to sleep. This blog includes some mind-body therapy information, alongside some wellbeing tips. These may be useful if you are having trouble sleeping or want to try some new coping strategies.

    Have you heard of mind-body therapies?

    Mind-body therapies are based on the belief that what we think and feel can affect how our bodies function. They have no effect on the cancer but may be used to help...

    Post 339: Rest day while our valley hides away from the wind. Giving yourself a break for a day, or more, is a very sensible thing to do, and the weather seems to agree. Yesterday, the sound of the pheasants all around the cottages was a sign that ...

    Post 337: Careful response to unnecessary regrets. I woke at 7am, then at 8, 10 and 12 for the pills, but I didn’t know if I should get up or stay out of the way. I heard nothing from the other end of the cottage, so I guess I’ll be ok. ...
