Dating after breast cancer….finally a good story!
I have to say I am very used to being on my own. I like (love) my life as it is. I don’t feel like I need a man to complete me. Plus after the ravages of breast cancer on my body I pretty much decided to close the shop. Sure I had the odd … Continue reading
In defense of Jess Ainscough, the Wellness Warrior who sadly passed last week
As you know if you follow this blog, I was diagnosed with breast cancer aged 39. I followed every bit of the Oncologists advice.

I was thrown into menopause during chemo, and now have … Continue reading

Seems I’m going to be wearing more one than one color ribbon…..
Two weeks ago, I found a large lump on my upper right thigh/hip/femur area, of about 8cm. It didn’t hurt and after googling these aspects combined, found that cancer was on the top of the list of likely suspects. But honestly, cancer is on every list so while I was a little worried I assumed … Continue reading
American Airways Road Warrior Challenge
I spend a lot of time flying. Mostly for work. OK often for work and often for pleasure! So when I read about the AA Road Warrior Challenge I couldn’t resist entering. I’m not really expecting to win, their big ask is creativity. I didn’t get very creative in my entry, I told the truth. … Continue reading
One year older = yay!
After having had breast cancer and even more since losing Nicole, I have a new appreciation for birthdays. I’ve decided to embrace every year older and celebrate making it. This year, I had a virtual festival! Here’s what I did… Firstly, Chilli and I checked into Riverview B&B (where I stayed after foot surgery) for … Continue reading
