    Radiotherapy Planning
    Last night we had a big storm. I live on the South coast in a small city, and our large hospital is about 5 miles away by car, about half by motorway.  I left home shortly after 8am for a 9am appointment, conscious it was rush hour. It didn&rsqu...

  • A trip with triple negative breast cancer
    PET-CT scan
    This week is scanning week. PET-CT scan, MRI, and radiotherapy planning. I think I am going to need a season ticket for the hospital car park. The first two are to try to understand more about the lesion on my liver, found on my August scan. I expect...

  • Getting breast cancer off my chest
    Recalculating the route
    After two surgeries in the Summer to remove the cancer, I went on holiday to Switzerland to see my parents and sister. Travelling back I had a sense of closure: barring perhaps a bit of radiotherapy, I was about to enter a ‘new normal’ ma...

    Getting a breast cancer diagnosis: Issy’s story

    “When I think about my cancer journey, I think about choices. It was about choosing to take ownership of my own personal cancer journey.”

    You might remember Issy from her recent feature on Community News, where she shared her story following her breast cancer diagnosis and how her relationship with her partner and herself evolved. As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2022, Issy is back to talk about another part of her story. This time, Issy talks about how important it can be to...
