One young woman's breast cancer journey. Scientific Fact or Intuitive Crap? Scientific Fact or Intuitive Crap? August 15, 2015. I’ve always held the view that alternative therapies are valid treatment options to use alongside, or at times in place of, conventional modalities. In today’s fast-paced, high-pressure society, there are many times when the answer to a simple health issue can be found in slowing down, taking time out, eating better and exercising more. Not. However, while I’m willing to give mo...

There is the threat of painful oedema in limbs where lymph nodes have been removed, there is tight roping scar tissue that makes it hard to stretch. There is peripheral neuropathy that continues to numb our extremities and make simple buttons and jar lids as difficult to open as if we were ninety. Something must have resonated with t...

One young woman's breast cancer journey. 8216;Good’ Cancers and ‘Bad’. 8216;Good’ Cancers and ‘Bad’. June 6, 2016. June 6, 2016. People often refer to Breast Cancer as one of the ‘good cancers’. Surely the phrase ‘good cancer’ is a total oxymoron, but you’d be surprised how often it gets bandied around. I remember on one occasion last year in the chemo ward, while hooked up to my intravenous cocktail of poison, I overheard someone I could not see proclaim she wished she had Breast Cancer. Want what I had.

Holy Shit You Look Amazing! – Cancer Cans

One young woman's breast cancer journey. Holy Shit You Look Amazing! Holy Shit You Look Amazing! August 6, 2015. A few months ago, there was not. One measly little hair. On my scalp. Not one. The chemo drugs had killed off every single hair follicle, and with them, the hairs they contained. I was completely hairless! Which makes THIS picture pretty fucking fabulous! It’s so good it deserves a close up…. For optimal levels of self-love, I recommend repeating that process on a daily basis. Life’s too preci...

One young woman's breast cancer journey. Excuse Me While I Go Crop-Dust My Chin. Excuse Me While I Go Crop-Dust My Chin. September 25, 2015. September 25, 2015. Way back in January, while recovering from my de-boobing surgery and trying to get my head around the months of cancer treatment that were lining up on my doorstep, I found myself making lots of lists. Aside from the obvious cancer-slaying properties of chemo, my PROS list was pretty short:. I will save a small fortune on hair cuts. I actually di...

Monthly Round Up – June – A Little Earthquake
https://alittleearthquake.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/monthly-round-up-june
Monthly Round Up – June. We’re almost done with July so my June Round Up is a little bit late but I’ve had so much to catch up on that I just haven’t had time to put pen to paper. I honestly believe all of the chemicals and laser guns have turned me into a superhero and that’s why I’ve been able to run all over the shop in June. It certainly beats lying in bed trying to overcome the chemo side effects and fatigue. If you’ve read my New York post you’ll know how much I fell in love with the ci...I mean ac...

Just Keep Swimming – A Little Earthquake
https://alittleearthquake.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/just-keep-swimming
I’m sitting here, typing this with the heating on. In July. Can you even? I’ve just devoured a butter croissant and coffee but I’m allowing it because I think I have a cold coming. I can’t remember the last time I actually had a cold! I’m usually good with avoiding common illnesses and just go straight in with the life threatening ones! Go hard, etc. But that’s what I still am for the time being. When can I actually class myself as a non-cancer patient? Can I call myself that now? And when I use that kin...

Learning To Dance In The Rain. One final post….💔. December 16, 2015. As many of you may know by now Christine, my lovely sister gave up her battle fighting inflammatory breast cancer and sadly passed away yesterday on The 15th of December 2015. She did intend on updating her blog later this week but sadly she is no longer with us to do so… She had started writing out a draft for her new post. Ok so I haven’t updated anyone really in a while but I guess now it’s time. December 16, 2015 at 2:15 pm.

That is the characterization of many of us home cooks who make meals for a crowd. It is also the way my mother is characterized by one of my in-law’s.
