I am not one to do things by half. And the cancer it seems is the same. Over the last few weeks, I have been attending the Mater to get some CT and MRI scans. I got told last Thursday at chemo by a registrar the cancer is in the bones. Now the fella was hot as usual (the Mater have a strict good-looking DR’s … Continue reading Hip, T spine, Lungs the lot

I have a tea towel I got as a gift last time I got diagnosed and says “not all superheroes wear capes and has loads of pics of woman in different life roles.

If you have read any blog of my mine you know how important and amazing … Continue reading Not all superheroes where capes…

As I’ve mentioned I’m having issues getting Séamus to school. The rushes are blessed with very reactive stomachs and obviously this is one trait Séamus got too.

I need to be absolutely delighted to be cancer free when in fact I don’t think I fully processed getting the cancer diagnosis or the fact that I lived away from … Continue reading Introducing the new me and what I would tell the pre cancer me

My … Continue reading The night before the big results

Heads up this is a long post so just in case you don’t read it all I would just like to say please make sure you are up to date on smears, breast checks, testicle checks (is this a thing?), bowel checks… mind your body and try be happy…  May madness… hen parties, weddings and a confirmation….well actually it’s been all go since the end … Continue reading Cervical Cancer is still an awful B*tch
