When I was dancing to Prince Party like it’s 1999 I never could have imagined this is where I’d be today.
That’s the point I guess, none of us ever can and Amen to that because who would want all that anxiety or fear of what is to come.
However we tend to deal as it occurs don’t we? Some how some way all in our own way we deal with our own shit. On occasion tragedy strikes most of us pick up the pieces and move forward, at the risk of quoting Rocky “It ain’t all sunshine and butterflies but it’s not how hard we can hit its how hard we get hit and keep moving forward”. And that my friends is the journey and joy of life.
So today, I am happy, healthy and whole, I have ticked a long time dream off my bucket list yesterday, having swam with dolphins and sea lions in the wild and tomorrow, well who knows what tommorw will bring.
So my new years resolutions are endless but in a nutshell; more mindful meditation to harness my inner strength and perceptions, regular movement in yoga practice, stretching, swimming & walking, continue my true well balanced whole foods diet for my health & wellbeing, believe in not sweating the small stuff, learn more about quantum physics, embrace my new body as at will go through another transformation in 2020, and as a blessed friend said to me once as her NYR find inner peace. 💕
Life is for thriving not surviving so get amongst it.
Happy days xx

I was 21 and I was planning a wedding, buying a house and had a job interview for the job of my dreams on my 22nd birthday. You see I was being made redundant and had to find a new job by August. Especially with the new mortgage now. It was April. I worked for CML and my new job was a done deal. All I needed was a medical. And with that, just like that....my life was turned upside down and I was diagnosed with CML, ha ha, I know the irony. My hematologist had a laugh at that too. I had Chronic Myeloid Leukeamia, which was normally reserved for 70 year old men. Quite rare for a young adult to get, so how would they treat it? I underwent two separate trials until finally it was decided my best chance of survival (all be it only 50% chance), would be a MUD BMT (matched unrelated bone marrow transplant), now known as VUD Allograt (volunteer unrelated donor). I was told 21 years ago the chance of finding a match was 1 in 20,000 (and that is everyone was on the bone marrow donor registry). Scary odds. So being the risk taker I am I said "go for it". They found a match and that was my first miracle in this journey. The second miracle was, it worked - new blood type, two different DNA profiles and the miracle of medicine was reborn inside me. The third miracle is my son.
25 years on, I now face a new challenge. Breast Cancer. Certainly not the first person to have cancer, to have invasive ductile cancer, hormone receptive and HER2 +, or to even have a dual diagnosis. But this is not another Webiste about a cancer survivor, this is just my excuse to finally publicly write. Along the way I am hoping I can share some insights I have learnt over the years and at the same time, give you a good belly laugh.
