In my first episode I want to tell you a little about my story, how I got to where I am now and what has shaped me and made me take on the mantle of the Badasscancerthriver.
It's true to say that life has thrown it's fair share of challenges my way in the last 7 years; two breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, broken ankle, two pulmonary embolisms, chronic gastritis, 17 days in hospital and in the middle of all that I became a widow - WOW 😳 ! Even I sometimes struggle to believe everything that's happened to me. Someone only this morning asked me how I stay so positive despite all the "things that have happened to you".....to be honest sometimes I'm not even sure myself - maybe it's a little bit of grit, a lot of sheer bloody mindedness and tonnes of ways I've learnt in the last few years to help me cope with the mental and emotional turmoil that to be honest we all face from time to time - sometimes it just comes wearing Doc Marten's.
This episode touches on my story, but what I also start to share with you is how I have come back from all of this stronger, more resilient, tenacious (nice word 😜), courageous and with a badass attitude - that's not to say that I am unflappable - sometimes I have been known to not practice what I preach. But those moments are rare and hard to find.
Coming up soon I'll be talking about the stigma around chemotherapy, the waiting game, scan-xiety and loads of other topics......some a little more of a tenuous link but I promise they'll be fun and interesting.
