• It's Gone Tits Up

  For days of auld lang syne

  I never thought my new year goal would be to stay alive. By the 3rd of January I’ve usually broken a diet or not started exercising so at least this year I’m winning at it so far! I’ve had the most amazing Christmas and New Year wit...

  Radiotherapy 10 weeks on

  Radiotherapy finished almost 11 weeks ago and my boob is still lumpy, swollen and tender. Occasionally there's a tingling sensation, not painful but certainly some discomfort from time to time. Depending on who you ask, apparently this can go on ...

  Cycle 5 & 6 Paclitaxel, Christmas & looking ahead

  Cycles 5 & 6 went by in a Christmas blur. In fact its 12 weeks since I had my first chemo back in October which is amazing when I look back. The time has flown.  These 2 cycles were very boring and nothing to write home about really. The mos...
