Posts about my experience of having cancer as a 19-year-old and a 29-year-old.
It's been almost a decade since I was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma. A lot has happened in that time. The fact that I can reflect about the experience and have been in remission for this long is something I am very thankful for. Life is precious. Someone very close to me is going through another… Continue reading 5 of my cancer posts for World Cancer Day 2019
I'm going to try and keep this short. We're all busy people these days, aren't we? There's so much I could say, but right now, I just don't have the time or the right words to say. In a nutshell, I am experiencing my first recognisable battle in the mind. I say 'recognisable' because I… Continue reading The Shadow
On Sunday 2oth December, on the fourth Sunday of Advent, I was asked to share my testimony - my journey as a Christian - at the Carols by Candlelight service at my church. If anyone knows me well, public speaking does not come so easy for me. My legs turn to jelly. My mouth dries… Continue reading Why I Celebrate Christmas
There are some things (more like many things) that I just don't understand about life. I know that I am not alone in thinking this. We all get thrown curve balls. Perhaps in our jobs, our health, our relationships, our faith among other things. Stuff just doesn't work out how we imagined it would. I… Continue reading Cancer, Cardiac Arrest and Continued Faith
Cancer has not been at the forefront of my mind in recent months. This is a huge blessing and I realise that I am extremely blessed to no longer be in the battle - praise God! However, I realise that others are still fighting and there seems no rhyme or reason why certain people get… Continue reading Hope

Situations where you have had to keep on keeping on despite the circumstances? We are called to persevere a lot in God's Word and it's something I have noticed a lot when… Continue reading You Can Do It. Keep Going!
I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown. And what a year it has been. I spend a lot of time thinking and reflecting on life and all it has to offer us. This year has definitely been one for reflection. My first scan is due on the 21st December 2011 to check and… Continue reading Scanxiety in December
Hello dearest followers of my wacky yet wonderful blog posts!

So apologies, but I am back with a lot to say as always! Chemotherapy outcome Firstly, I… Continue reading Life’s Tough Decisions And Why I’m Looking Up
Hey everyone! I feel it has been far too long since I've updated this blog, much to my annoyance as I would love to write every day, but there hasn't been much to share. Until now! There is a saying that once you hit rock bottom, the only way is up. Recently I felt like… Continue reading Have I Got News For You
The first time I went to the Oncology clinic I was nervous. I knew I was one step to finishing my treatment, but I had no idea what would be in store for me these next few months. I cried a lot. In the waiting room, in the toilets, in the chemotherapy day unit. I'm… Continue reading ABVD (Another Brave Victorious Day)
