Nanowrimo 2019
My experiences of nanowrimo this year have mostly been positive. The most positive thing about it was hitting 50,000 on Wednesday, the 27th. It had been a difficult slog to get to that point, and there were many times that I didn’t think I could do it. One day, nearly half way through, I decided […]
Granola
June 18, 2019. I’m back. I’ve decided to give my blog a facelift and start writing again. Now that I’ve worked out how to log in (it has been a while), I’ll leave you with this post, which I wrote on January 18, 2016, and left in draft mode for over two years. I don’t know where […]
Happy new year!
Hi there! It has been an age since I wrote last. I think the treatments really got the better of me and I had to narrow down my priorities a bit. Blogging kind of went on the back burner. So here we are in a new year already! This New Year’s Eve we celebrated a […]
Quest for happy

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 […]
One thing I’ve learned from Chemotherapy
I’m almost at the end of my first round of chemotherapy. There’s a lot that has happened, and I wanted to write about my experiences, but I didn’t know where to start. So, I decided to write about one thing I’ve learned so far. It’s hard to narrow it down to one thing though. I’ve […]
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, […]
