Another Post I Didn’t Want to Type …

…butI’m doing it. Firstly, I’m still angry with the NHS. When I’ve calmed down I’ll tell you why. *fuming face* Secondly, it’s short and sweet because I find difficult and my eye site is screwy, but during the week, last week i had a number of fits. Fits which led to tests and scans and … Continue reading →

The Fight Continues…

I had a moment this evening.  Panicking slightly, rushing between the bathroom and my bedroom.  Trying to do my bra up, wondering what on earth I was going to wear.  Swearing to myself because my bra is getting tighter. Argh. A month ago I was wishing I had bigger boobs.  Now I have them. Yes, … Continue reading →

Bowel Cancer. My Symptoms.

The Be Loud Be Clear campaign which Beating Bowel Cancer is running this week got me thinking as well as a few emails and DMs from people.  My symptoms.  What were they?  What made me realise something was wrong? So here it is, a very honest account of something I shouldn’t have ignored for as … Continue reading →

Nail Art for Beating Bowel Cancer

  Earlier this year I was sent a bum badge from Beating Bowel Cancer.  I’ve worn it about my person ever since it arrived and it’s not unusual for someone to look at it and question it.  Job done.  Awareness is happening.  Now I have a lot of time on my hands and one thing … Continue reading →

Thursday Night – Big Brother, my PJs and a Blog Update

Me It’s been about a week since my last post.  I feel like loads has happened, but actually not a lot has happened. I’m just very used to living a quiet life.Where to start… Mum’s home from hospital now and doing really well.  She’s in a much better way than I was a week after … Continue reading →

Not the Best Start to the Week

Yesterday I woke up, from quite possibly the worst night I’ve had in months. The last time I can remember having bad dreams was shortly after diagnosis. I used to dream I was in New York the day of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  I guess a cancer diagnosis might bring on unusual dreams.  So, I … Continue reading →
