Quest for happy
I’m starting to feel human again after my last round of chemotherapy. Yay! I have been feeling pretty miserable. I spend a fair bit of time feeling sorry for myself and getting irritable and upset. I’ve been impatient with the children because I have been feeling sick and tired and achy. I’ve realised that I […]
Before my last chemo…
31/7/17 Before I begin, I just want to say *thank you* to the many people who have supported me (us) and encouraged me (us) along this part of my cancer journey. Chemotherapy has been hard, and your friendship, meals, putting up with my vague-Rebecca-chemo-brain, minding, entertaining and helping with our children – it is all […]
Apple cinnamon waffles
Ok, so I’ve been feeling good this week (second week of my second round of chemotherapy), so I’ve been enjoying time in the kitchen, cooking up yummy meals for the family. This week I bought a new waffle maker that cooks 4 waffles at a time, as opposed to our original one, which only made […]

Hair
It seems like a small thing to think about when you’ve recently had a cancer diagnosis: hair. With my tumour gone, and the doctors assuming the disease is cured, I’m about to embark on the adjuvant therapy of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy. These are all designed to reduce the chance of my cancer returning, […]
Update and whatnot
Hi folks! I just want to say, thanks for sticking around and being here to read my little blog. I haven’t been writing as much lately; I guess it’s one of those things that has taken a backseat whilst I get on with life. I’ve never intended to be a professional blogger, but writing this […]
Monte’s 40th
I met Monte when he was 16. I was 15. We were rowing at our private schools (eyeroll, so stereotypical) and we met at a Head of the River after party. He didn’t want my phone number, he said we’d see each other at the Nationals in QLD the following weekend. He ended up chasing […]
