Cruel Kids
I just had a knock at the door...no-one was there but a note had been left. It read...."Dear Mrs Mental, Leave our neighourhood. Nobody likes you." I had to shave my head 10 days ago because of chemo and should be able to walk around my house and yard as I wish! I know its ignorant teenagers( the writing style looks like a…

Humour where needed
Hi ladies, hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas xx. Just had to share this with like minded people. I was cooking dinner 2 nights ago and someone comes to the door. Being Christmas time, my husband was home which in itself is unusual. Also having a door knocker is unusual. I hear my husband speaking to a young,…

I have an IDC with associated DCIS, which looks like a fluffy lollypop.This was totally out of the blue. I am booked to see Peter Willsher tomorrow…

Modelling! :-)
Since my last session of chemo, I've been trying to think of ways to perk myself up... and back in the day when I was younger, skinnier and had more hair, I used to enjoy planning photoshoots with photographers, playing dress-ups, experimenting with crazy make up and generally acting like a twit in front of the camera in…

OMG what a stroke of luck
Hi Ladies, OMG I got my results back from my surgery in November and I am so pleased I had that surgery. The results showed that I had cysts in both ovaries and in one tube! Now these weren't malignant at all but these things can turn nasty. I wanted to put off this surgery for 6 months as I was so over it all but my onc…

However here I have found everyone understands me and…

My mum, who lives overseas (I'm originally from Europe) has offered to come for a few months and help and support our family. In which part of my journey do you think I would need most…

Working from home?
Hi everyone, I'm looking for ideas on how I can make some money from home whilst undergoing treatment. I finished a contract about 2 weeks after being diagnosed, and it's been quite a blow financially and (?) psychologically, as I hate not being able to contribute to even the basic bills, and even though side effects wise…
