Between Breasts & Brews
Life has just handed me a breast cancer diagnosis.
So I’m starting here - with a mug of tea, a bit of honesty, and whatever sense of humour I can hang onto.
This is my diary, first and foremost. A place for me to process, cope, and make sense of what’s ahead.
You’re welcome to drop by from time to time - I’m happy to share it with you, whether it’s to get a glimpse of the ups, the downs, or the moments in between.
Think of it as joining me for a cup of tea and a chat, even if it’s just through these words.

19 March 2026: Neoadjuvant TCHP chemotherapy commencement date – officially the start of needles, appointments, and naps at inconvenient times. Here’s to surviving the schedules, the fatigue, the nausea and maybe even enjoying the occasional small victory.
