Dealing with Anxiety after Cancer

Over the last year, I’ve done a lot of shadow work – going through cancer means you are basically forced to confront many different elements of yourself as you are literally put in many challenging situations – so I saw it as a growth opportunity, but over a year later, I’m still reeling from it.

Why Shadow Work is Essential when taking a cyclical approach

How Surgery Went

So much has happened since my last update… ALL the scans So I went back and had a few more scans- a special kind of CT Scan to zoom in on the area of the tumour (not a pleasant experience given where it is!) They have to inflate your colon with air to get a […]

More Scans and Surgery Booked In

What a week it’s been after my diagnosis last week. There are moments when it hits me like a tonne of bricks and moments when I feel almost normal. Such a surreal kind of experience. But I do have some good news- the surgery is going ahead this Tuesday as they had hoped. I had […]

Update on the Journey

Well this is a blog I honestly never thought I’d write. Where to start? It’s not easy especially as this kind of cancer isn’t exactly easy to talk about- as Deborah James describes it- it’s the brown cancer. I followed Deborah James and her journey with Bowel Cancer for years and always so admired her […]
