How cancer mentally tests you
What does acceptance look like? I’ve had to dig deep for this level of acceptance that this is just the way the whole process is. The fight for me has been more about getting basic care than actually battling cancer. I have had to let go of the frustrations and the continual cycle of disorganization…
Social Media Overwhelm
Can you find a balance with social media? I recently decided that all social platforms weren’t doing my mental health any good. As someone who loves to communicate and wishes to share all the knowledge and experience gifted to me in the last 4 years after a terminal cancer diagnosis, this has been difficult but…
Coping with Cancer
How do you cope mentally as a cancer patient? I live 3 monthly. That’s when I have scans to check whether the medication continues to keep the tumours at bay.

Does my reality matter? It’s challenging and painful to be around those who will not understand your reality and can only see life as they lead it and try to push that agenda onto you through criticism and lectures. When you come across a hurdle and need a little compassion, you are challenged and criticised…
What Have You Done For You Lately?
So my ongoing battle to try and get a health care professional to try and take responsibility for my vitamin D levels and thyroid is continuing. The time wasted by myself, the GP and Oncologist debating over whose job it is, is ridiculous. In the meantime, my fatigue levels are worsening. I just want to…
You’ve Come Too Far Not To Believe
Completely humbled while speaking with another Melanoma patient going through it this morning. Huge perspective and mind shift in how lucky I really am. I grumble about side effects and the lack of organisation with care plans and appointments within the medical departments. And not to invalidate my right to that. I really am blessed…
