Welcome to my blog where understanding meets compassion; where two of life’s most challenging journeys intersect: battling breast cancer and enduring the breakdown of a 33-year marriage.

This blog is an intimate exploration of navigating these simultaneous life-altering experiences, a path few anticipate but one that comes with profound lessons and unexpected transformations.

Facing a breast cancer diagnosis in July 2022 brought its own set of fears, uncertainties, and battles. It’s a journey that no one anticipates, yet countless brave souls embark upon each year.

At the same time, the end of a long-term marriage added a layer of emotional complexity and the need for personal rediscovery.

This blog is a lighthouse for those navigating the often turbulent waters of a Breast Cancer Diagnosis or any major life altering illness.It is also a testament to the power of facing adversity with courage and emerging with a renewed sense of self.

From the initial shock and confusion to the empowering steps of understanding and managing my journey, I will delve into every aspect with honesty and empathy – my personal experience.

This blog is not just about medical treatments and terminology; Doctors and Health Care Professionals can provide that support, it’s about the human experience behind the diagnosis.

Whether you’re seeking guidance for yourself or supporting a loved one or friend, my aim is to provide a source of comfort, information, and inspiration.

Together, we’ll discover that even in the midst of profound changes and challenges, there lies the opportunity for growth, healing, and a new beginning.
