ABOUT THE BOOK

It doesn’t have a publishing date yet.
It does have quite a lot of words.

Karma having chemo treatment, holding a coffee cup Karma holding a sign that reads Chemo #2 Done

In 2016, at the age of 40, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

At the time, I wrote a blog about what was happening – partly to keep everyone updated and partly, I suspect, because writing was how I made sense of it all.

I didn’t know then that I’d return to those words nearly a decade later.

The book combines what I wrote then with what I know now.

The frightened woman walking into Room 10. The woman nine years later, reading her words and occasionally wanting to reach into the page and give her a hug. Or a shake.

It’s not a cancer manual.

It’s just what happened.

And what happened afterwards.
