My Story
September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, and this October marks my own 20-year cancerversary. ❤️
On 16/10/2006, our world was turned upside down with a shock diagnosis that came completely out of nowhere. I was only 34 years old, with two young children.
It’s been quite a journey, but I am so thankful for the huge advancements in modern medicine. Taking daily tablets for CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia) means I’m still here, living my best life and enjoying every day. ❤️
Whilst there’s nothing to “see” and I get “Oh, you look so well though!” all the time, the mental battle is very real!!
So, this month, I’m holding several coffee mornings during the week of 21st September to raise money for Macmillan, and I hope that one day all cancers can be controlled and/or cured with less invasive treatments, like daily tablets.
I am so thankful to the NHS and to all the people who have been involved along the way. So to mark this milestone, eating a bit of cake seems like the least I can do to give something back! 🎂☕️
Please join me in supporting the charity and donate whatever you can.. We will have a cake stall during each session where you can pop over and choose some cake to go with your cuppa . 🎂
Thank you for your support. ❤️
