in Day to day
Well we did the 1,000k round trip to the breast surgeon appointment  end of July.
All good. I got to discuss nipple reconstruction and now on waiting list for those.

Since it usually takes us 3 days to do this trip, we decided to go on my husbands motorbike and think of it as a mini holiday.  It was all about recovery. Only my 3rd time on the bike since diagnosis and my second bigger trip. We were planning a huge holiday on the bike the year of diagnosis. It's time now for us to plan that again.  This trip was testing if it was possible. And it was.  :)

I was surprised how many messages I got asking if all alright at my appointment. I was surprised. Why? Because...I didn't even consider it wouldn't be. How fantastic is that?!


Cancer sucks.
Cancer treatment is downright hard.
Cancer treatment recovery is hard.
But the whole point of it is to take back your life and live it to the full, live without fear overwhelming you and keep pushing yourself until you can truly say..I've made it.
I'm not quite there yet...but I'm getting there.
And you can to. Believe. Kath x

    These posts are important because on the cancer road trip if feels like something is lost and therefore needs to be reclaimed.
