Getting results back is always worrying and after the CT scan that noticed I had something in my head but couldn’t confirm what, the next MRI and results were going to nerve racking. Knowing a meeting was scheduled Thursday and I would get to know soon after softened the wait. And when the Breast CancerContinue reading “What’s next?”

I have read that maybe a bucket list might not be the best thing to do in my situation because the heartbreak of not fulfilling them all would be too much, I disagree, they are the things that get me up in the morning when I have had a bad night, the excitement of beingContinue reading “#makingmemories -lots”

Having things to look forward to in a life, when it is are so unpredictable, have seen moments of joy, whether its seeing friends, family or discovering new places, eating and drinking in unusual surroundings. Trying to fill every corner, not wanting to miss a sight, a sound, that in itself causes such fatigue andContinue reading “When Life changes again”

Today I was channelling my inner Peaty – Adam Peaty that is. Saturday night when I couldn’t sleep I watched him win the breast-stroke semi final with ease and looked mesmerised at the style and the sheer power of his strokes -now if only I could go as fast as that I would have hadContinue reading “Going for Gold”

I truly think that at times that the cancer is not going to kill me but the overwhelming desire just to fall asleep is, if I don’t pre-record my favourite tv programmes I don’t get to watch them as I end up dosing half way through – even the joys of +1 don’t help asContinue reading “The sign on the motorway says….”

Like the title says where does the time go – some days I seem to have been chasing myself and as you can see from one week when swimming was put virtually on hold sometimes my health gets in the way and my energy levelsContinue reading “Where does time go?”

This might be a long post…. Waiting for any sort of scan results is hard, even for the most patient of people (which I am not) but when you know that these might mean that your first line treatment hasn’t worked and that more decisions have to be made the worry is amplified even more.Continue reading “Just call me MABLE….”

Be Kind they say! Today I have met kindness full on in many ways from people I know and love, people I know not as well and also from people I have only just met. Today didn’t start off too great – too many hours spent on the sofa last night not sleeping, stressing aboutContinue reading “In a World where you can be anything….”

When I took on my 100 mile challenge I didn’t realise at first that the 100 things were to be done this Bank Holiday weekend, we have had Beckham doing 100 keepie uppies others eating 100 maltesers so I decided that I had to have at least complete 100 laps to make sure I wasContinue reading “Captain Tom’s weekend”
