in Now what? The highs and lows of survivorship
@arpie made me aware of this lady and saw this article today about her so thought worth sharing for those who have not heard of her.

    Thanks for that update on Liz, @Romla ... she really has had a hard time of it  :( 

    I’ve advised all my specialists to read her blog.  (For those who haven’t read her blog:)

    I've followed her almost from the start, as her diagnosis was around the same time as mine, give or take a few months, I think. She is amazing. 

    It's such a big thing to lose, as identity can be so tied up with your work, especially when it's something like that, that is such a vocation

    It was a big thing as it has been for all of us and to me she embodies a grace that I hope we all can find .
