  • If only it was just the jelly boob
    After chemo
    So let me take a moment to explain why my blogs are short, before bc I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia, so typing or writing for a long period is difficult as my fingers tend to cramp up. So little and often it is, anyway too ...

  • A trip with triple negative breast cancer
    I’ve got the power
    I had a “power port” portacath device fitted this morning. It’s a small port that sits in your upper chest with wiring into your veins and can be used for delivering chemo and taking bloods. It’s an alternative to the PIC...

    So long, seventh saroma!
    My seventh saroma will hopefully be my very last one. Because I have had more than enough of these, thank you. Otherwise I may soon receive the gift of a steroid injection in my chest cavity. Which doesn’t sound too lovely, to be honest. Even ...

  • A trip with triple negative breast cancer
