When I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer, back in May 2016, apart from my world falling apart, I also wanted to keep my family and friends updated. I was overwhelmed with the flowers, chocolates, cards and ‘getting well wishes’ I received, and figured that by writing a blog, everyone who was interested, could catch up and read about my my ‘journey’.

I have never been a person to ‘follow protocol’, it is not in my nature and I knew last July , after my one and only Chemo session that my journey would not be that of many other cancer patients. In this blog, I have recorded my ‘journey’ and how and why I made the decisions regarding my treatment. I have learned so much and am still learning every day. My office is filled with new books regarding  cancer, cancer diets, ‘mind / body / spirit’ , Cannabis, ‘well being’ etc.
Having opted out of the traditional ‘chemo trail’, I am very aware that only I can monitor my progress and only I am responsible to get myself well again.  This is both frightening and exciting.

I am recording any new research or information I come across and at this stage have no idea where this will take me.

I am writing this today the 29 December, after my daughter Rhea told me that it would be good to write a short paragraph. Having had over 12000 page views, I am flattered that people are interested in my ‘journey’ ( I can’t think of a better word) and hope that it provides informative reading.
