5 years and all clear, but now what?
Content Warning: Whilst yes, it’s good news that I’ve had the five year all clear after my cancer, this update comes with a warning: this post isn’t celebratory. If you’re expecting a good news, positive vibes update, this isn’t it.

Coping with grief when you’re okay is weird
It’s Autumn and if you’ve stuck with me through the years you’ll know that it’s my favourite season. The temperatures are just starting to cool off slightly and today it was foggy this morning – and I do so love a foggy morning! In this post I talk about cancer, suicide, and childlessness so if…

Getting outside of your comfort zone is good for you, right?
Anyone that knows me well enough knows the thought of doing any kind of public speaking terrifies me. There’s a reason I have a blog and don’t do videos – I’m not comfortable in front of a camera and writing is definitely my forte. So when an opportunity came up to share my childless story…

One of the bad weeks (plus a cancer update!)

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…

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…
