I was just wondering if anyone else has made a visual of their cancer journey. I have done a build a bear cancer journey - here they are Mo (my chemo rabbit), Amp (my mastectomy sloth - play on the word amputation!) and Zap (my Radiotherapy guy) all with little ribbons with their names on! I know I’m a wally! But I don’t want to look back on the experience badly. It hasn’t been easy and some  bits have been brutal but I’m alive and that’s what matters.

    lovely to hear from you. I have those photos too lol. I’ve recently started penning a status for Facebook - I kept all of this off Facebook and only told those people I needed to so I decided once I’ve finished radio and celebrated my daughters wedding I’ll put an update on to say I beat it xxx

  • What a great post. where did you find the brown boar?  Or is it an elephant. Whatever..I want one. Anything which makes us smile is a fingers up to cancer. We all have our really bad moments, but we all need to smile as well.  So thanks again. I am sure children will love the idea. It will normalise things for them.
