    1109 Days

    It’s weird to be writing about cancer with everything else going on right now however, that’s my life right now. It’s always there, even when we are in the midst of a pandemic and life is the least normal it’s probably ever been. It’s been 1109 days since I found out I had cancer. It’s…

    Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans

    Life has been happening lately. So much so that I zoomed past my 3 month post-op milestone and didn’t notice until after it had happened that it’d been that long! I’m still doing awesome, no problems and nothing new to report on that front! We went to Palma last month. It. Was. Amazing. We had…

  • Welcome 2018! (Also, 9 weeks post op!)

    Welcome 2018! (Also, 9 weeks post op!)

    I think I can safely say all my goals for 2017 went straight out the window the moment I was diagnosed with cancer. That I finished the year cancer free and feeling better than I have in years is more than a great ending to a really crappy year. So what do I want to…

  • 6 weeks post op!

    6 weeks post op!

    Tomorrow is 6 weeks post hysterectomy!! With the exception of heavier than normal lifting (no full washing baskets etc!) I am pretty much doing exactly what I could before my op with no pain and loving every minute of it. Tomorrow I also go back to work. I had a lot of holiday to take…

    261 Days

    Today is 261 days since my cancer diagnosis. I don’t know why but it seems a lot longer than that! Today is also 31 days since my hysterectomy. It seems shorter than that somehow! Today I had my follow up for my op and my consultant asked how I was getting on, I told him…

  • 4 weeks post op already!

    4 weeks post op already!

    My lack of activity over the last month made it seem like it has dragged on but in reality I’m already two thirds of the way through my 6 weeks of recovery! My follow up appointment is this week so I’m hoping for good news on the cancer front and also good news on when…

  • Thankful

    Thankful

    Whilst I no longer do the whole turkey and all the trimmings for Thanksgiving, much to Hubby’s displeasure, I do still give thanks for what I have and this year is no exception. I am thankful for a whole lot this year: Hubby – I’m always thankful for him but this year even more. We…

  • Books, music, and telly, oh my!

    Books, music, and telly, oh my!

    I’m home for what feels like forever and it’s only week 3 and I’m already tired of watching telly and sitting on the sofa and I have another 3 weeks of this?! I have a stack of books to read, which I’m thankful for. I’ve already read Alice by Christina Henry, which I loved. It’s…

  • Childless not by choice – How can you help someone?

    Childless not by choice – How can you help someone?

      Throughout the last year we’ve kept up hope that we’d get past my cancer and be able to move on to fertility treatments. Obviously this was not the case and I am now recovering from my hysterectomy and dealing with not just recovery from a major surgery but also the emotions and grief that…
