Hi everyone,

A bit excited!

Just sent the final draft of my book to someone so that it can be formatted for publication on Kindle.

And yes, I did finally make up my mind about a title:

'FREE FROM FEAR - living well after cancer'

It's got lots of practical strategies for dealing with that slow, creeping fear that the cancer is back as well as a whole section on living your best life. I was inspired by all the people that commented on this site, and on my blog. You encouraged me to keep writing so I did! 

I don't have any grand ambitions. I'm just hoping to pass on the information that was so beneficial to me during treatment. This was also an activity that helped me to rebuild my brain after treatment, so I'm already very happy that I took the time to learn how to do it. 

I'm on track to publish on Kindle some time in the next few weeks. That will keep the cost down. I'll also be listing it in their promotional program so that it will be available for free just after it's published. I'll post here when that happens so that all the wonderful people that have sent me lovely comments over the last three and a bit years can get a copy without paying anything. 

Thanks again to everyone that said 'keep writing', especially Michelle and Ricki.
