It’s what happened to me. And how I see it now.

I’m writing a book

In 2016, I started writing a blog while going through breast cancer treatment. Nine years later, those words somehow became the beginnings of a book.

It’s about family, fear, friendship, grief, ridiculous hospital moments and one accidental arse flash. And it’s what life looks like when you’re lucky enough to look back.

If you’re currently in treatment, or you love someone who is, this might be for you.

“I bloody hate you, cancer.”
“I’m not a complete dickhead … not all the time.”
