Often I feel the need to dump when something is playing on my mind - usually these are the more difficult things to nut out. I less frequently feel the need to brain dump about the good stuff. It came to me though, as I read your…

Her first diagnosis was in 2003, its re-occured again in 2012 and at the moment she's still going through possible further radio or chemo treatments.

Grey Day Doldrums
Just thinking, girls, about nine years ago when I was diagnosed. SO much has happened and I am bright and cheery (most of the time) but these grey wintry days get us down, eh?This morning we had thick fog till after 11, which is unusual for Launceston but I see Sydney is also experiencing weird weather. Last week I had a…

Birthday Girl (well, almost!)

She is so very excited - it's been a real joy watching her get excited as we slowly let certain surprises slip!

Deep breath!
Hi there, First time I've ever thought about doing this, so here goes. I'm a 26 year old female with three brothers aged 25, 23 and 20. My mum, 54, was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in July last year. She was healthy, and noticed a lump. It turned out to be two tumours with lymph node involvement, including…

My best friend
I realised that I very rarely write about my husband. There are many reasons for this. He is private. I don't feel I have as much right to share about him here as I do my children and I - I respect this. I must say though he is my rock. He is my best friend. He is another reason for waking in the morning and being grateful…
